ThuleAirScreen XT Wind Fairing

Installed on an '06 Porsche 911 and I have the 44" AirScreen. I mention this because I couldn't find a fitment guide on the Thule website. I wanted to cover as much of the "legs" to the rack as possible for maximum effect. The endmost mount bracket is 7" from the end of the AirScreen, so that might help you determine the correct length for your car. I mounted it on a round Yakima bar and needed to add some "filler" rubber behind the back of the strap for a tight fit as the strap does not have enough ratcheting "ribs" to pull tight on the bar without the added rubber. It works great! I like that the AirScreen has a lot of adjustment to get it positioned just right, unlike competitors. It is sturdy and well built and has decreased the wind roar by about 80% and the whistling by about 100%. Apologies for the photo quality - couldn't get the light right.

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.

Fits perfect and pretty easy to assemble and install also the shipping was fast

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!

I've had this on my truck for years. It has been a constant annoyance. The clicking and banging it makes on my roof is worse than wind noise. Thule should be ashamed.

Installed this in front of my flat roof rack made a big difference in wind noise !!

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.

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.
