ThuleAirScreen XT Wind Fairing

If you are like me and you purchased a less expensive option for roof racks, you are going to need this. I have square bars on my roof racks and they are noisy. This wind fairing fit perfectly and drastically reduced the wind noise. A perfect compliment to my roof rack system.

Easy to assemble and just as easy to install. The instructions are clear and simple to initially assemble the wing. Then the installation is relatively easy involving securing the straps to the roof rack with or without the adapters. So far it seems to be eliminating the howling wind noise my allegedly aerodynamic rack caused above 55 mph. Now at highway speed their is no wind noise and I even love how the wing looks on my Jeep Compass.

Leave it to the Swedes to make a fantastic product. Like many others I decided to cheap out when it came to my roof cross bars. Lots of wind and noise. This wind fairing from Thule stopped 90% of that. 2022 Ford F-250.

Deflector cuts down on wind noise but the material is super thin making it flop around. That makes its own noise. I won’t recommend

Had a lot of issues tightening these straps down so it was rattling a bit before I decided to involve pliers. I was a bit hesitant since it’s right above my moonroof, so be careful when pulling down because it does require some force. If this wouldn’t require the strength of the gods to tighten it properly I’d give it 5 stars.For anyone else with a 2023 X3, the 44” model sits right between the roof rails, so I would go with this size. About to take it on a proper road trip but so far the noise seems to be reduced, so I’m happy!

Looks and works great. Easy assembly and install.

First off, it 100% does reduce the wind noise. There is no more whistling or any kind of high pitched noise when this is mounted on top. There is still overall wind noise from simply having roof cross bars mounted.Now the bad:Mounting is convoluted and would be annoying to constantly have to do. I don't keep my cross bars on unless I need them so having to remove this all the time is pain. Not to mention that I have to remove the fairing just to add any accessories on the top. If you're the type to need and keep all of your accessories on, then great. But I like to have a bit more MPG.The gloss plastic also scratches INCREDIBLY easily. Like so easy. I already see myself painting this over with a normal matte finish just to hide all of the scratches. That, or sticker bombing it.That price too. So expensive to what amounts to a piece of gloss black plastic and some overside glorified zip ties.

Loved this product, not only does it eliminate all of the wind noise and high pitched whistling from the roof rack, it also looks super sharp! As a note, I have the OMAC Roof Rack for my vehicle type and the large size wind faring fit perfectly, so you don’t have to have the Thule brand roof rack for this product to work!
