works well

"I bought the Thule fairing, and it has done exactly what it said it would -- it completely took away the annoying whine from my roof-top rack. Not sure if it has added anything in terms of fuel efficiency, but I was mostly looking for blissful silence. The one thing that I would say is that it looks like it will install best if you have the standard square Thule bars. I have a less-common style of Thule bars cal..." Read Full Review »

Good fairing. Had to modify install.

★★★★☆

"Fairing went on great to my Volvo S40, once I reversed the recommended setting of the attachment mechanism. The recommended settings clearly had the outer supports be longer than the inner ones causing the fairing to warp awkwardly when mounted (fairing wanted to be concave).

"I use this product with my Thule system and 2 criterion mounts. Great product once it's on but the instructions could be improved upon. The main issue I had is that they shouldn't have used plastic push fasteners for attaching the brackets to the visor. Two of mine broke when being inserted and t …" Read Full Review »

I liked the rugged look of the Thule rack but the whisling noise was driving me up the wall and I even considered removing the rack. The fairing eliminates the sound and looks sh …" Read Full Review »

"The lady at the store thought it would be a good idea to buy this to reduce road noise. I ignored her thinking it would be fine. I was wrong, a loud whistling noise happened if I drove faster than 25MPH. Adding the fairing made the noise disappear.The fairing comes in an easy to assemble kit. Pay at …" Read Full Review »
