Disappointing

Purchased this more of a look rather than a noise reducer. Upon installation, found that it actually made more wind noise than the Thule rack itself. The strap system is pretty upsetting. There really is no “tightening it”. It’s just a plastic looped ratchet system that you’d find on a bicycle rack to keep the tire in the tray. It doesn’t apply any downward force to keep it planted on top of the roof. Once vehicles starts, it rattles and when getting head wind, it rattles as well. It felt like a joke. I have since placed foam pads underneath the feet to keep the noise down. Along with this, it doesn’t sit flush due to the system having no downward force to keep it planted to the roof of your vehicle. Cost on these I can’t imagine is enough for Thule to worry about reviews but this one definitely needs a redesign.

doesn’t last long

i’ve had this wind fairing for maybe 18 months. the straps that hold it to the rack broke so i went to reorder in the spare parts sections. 4 replacement brackets cost as much as the whole product! needless to say, not ordering it replacibg this fancy plastic panel.

Wanted to love this

I bought this for use with my rooftop tent as it is very noisy. I followed the mediocre fitment guide. It does fit....kinda. Install is easy but it can't be tightened so it constantly knocks on the sunroof of my car which is almost more annoying than the wind noise. I installed it on a 2019 CX-5 with fixed point roof bars and this sits on the sunroof, this has pros and cons. The pro is that it doesn't sit on the paint at all and I didn't have to put the stupid paint saving stickers on my car the Con's would be that it sits on my sunroof so I can't use the sunroof which sucks since I made sure to get the bars that wouldn't interfere with the sunroof operation. I wouldn't buy this again unfortunately and I feel I over paid by way more than this cheap piece of plastic is worth definitely paid for the name not the product.

Not as expected...

First, I'm a big fan of Thule. Great service/after service and really enjoy every piece that I bought here. BUT for the first time, I will not recommend this one. I put the size large on my new Kia Telluride for reduce the sound of my evo wingbar. This part is working.. it is reducing the noise from the wingbar but the AirScreen XT L don't stay in place. It is clapping on my roof even if I do everything that Thule recommended. Loose the strap, Tight the strap, move the wingbar.. It still flapping on the right side one day and left side on the other day. Just not working properly. Need improvement and I'm sure that Thule will do.

Great fit for a 22’ Mitsubishi Outlander

It eliminated all of the howling between my cross bars and around 70% of the wind noise. While it took a little bit of effort to tighten all the straps, the entire assembly was well designed and solid. I’ve driven it at highway speeds and the setup remains tight and in place. Compared to its competitors, I found it to be more durable (due to the plastic reinforcements on the side) while remaining lightweight.

Worked perfectly!

I bought this to eliminate some noise coming from the eco bar roof rack recently installed. It worked perfectly! Easy to instal and did exactly what it was supposed to do. Much quieter ride with the sunroof open now. Thanks Thule.

Great product but

I just bought air screen and it 100% helps with the wind noise but at highway speeds I’m hearing a rattling sound like it’s smacking against the roof?

Would love to see the aero testing on this..

Looks like it will only increase frontal area and create a huge drag behind the screen making aerodynamic performance worse than just roof racks.

Clamps suck

No matter what way I camp on the fairing, it continues to flap and hit the top of my car!
