The Thule Fairing cuts down on the drag and wind noise that your Thule bars make when you're blasting down the highway on your way to parts unknown with a roof full of gear. Thule Fairings are cake to install, and use rubber bumpers and anti-scuff film to protect your vehicle's finish. Editors Note: Please call if you aren't certain what parts you need to install your rack.
Bottom Line: Wind noise ain't pretty; turn it down.
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 called "t-slot aero bars". These bars are rounded-H-shaped, and the racks attach in the channels on top. The problem with that type of bar is that the fairing attachments then render that bar useless for then attaching anything else. The fairing attachment simply sticks up too high. I had to get a separate bar for the fairing and leave the two standard bars for my racks. It works fine that way, it was just a hassle and more unexpected cost. If you have questions about what I mean, just look at page 3 of the instructions, and you will get the idea.
This thing really works to deflect wind. It improved my gas mileage on a long road trip this past summer. It reduces the wind noise on the road as well.
But $60!?! That might be a bit over priced for a piece of plastic.
Great popduct and works as promised. The sound level is noticeably quieter. The 52" fits Chev Tahoe just right and the PRODUCT gets 5 STARS.
However, I received a fairing that had obviously been sold, installed, and then returned. The parts were bent/worn with blemishes to the fairing itself. The product was useable and I chose not to deal with a return. I should have gotten an open-box discount.
