Product Description
Great looking accessory reduces wind noise and mounts to any Thule rack system. Updated fairing hardware for a better fit on the Thule square and Rapid Aero barsThule 871xt Thule Roof Rack Fairing (38-Inches) Review
If you're looking to enhance the look of your roof rack (and are willing to fork out the $$), feel free to buy the Thule fairing (although make sure that you measure correctly). But if noise is your problem, try moving the bars. Better yet, before trying anything else, use a trick that a guy at local camping store told me about. Take a thin utility cord/rope. Tie it to one end of the front crossbar and wrap it repeatedly around the crossbar to the other end of the front crossbar (spaced about an inch or so per loop) where you tie it tight. Can disrupt the airflow enough to break the noise - basically got rid of all of the noise from my rack. I used a 10 foot cord which cost $1.60. Doesn't look as cool as a fairing (esp. if you're stuck with the purple cord which was all they had when I bought it), but much cheaper and no one will steal it from your car. And you don't have to move the bars so that you can't use them.Most of the consumer Reviews tell that the "Thule 871xt Thule Roof Rack Fairing (38-Inches)" are high quality item.
