Video Transcript for Let’s Check Out the Rhino-Rack Fairing for Roof Racks
Today we'll be taking a look at the 44 inch long Rhino-Rack fairing, part number RRRF3. There's also multiple different sizes, starting with the 32-inch part number RRRF1, the 38-inch RRF2, and the 50-inch, RRRF4.Speaker 2: This fairing is going to help by deflecting the air around the vehicle, so it makes for a quieter ride when you're out on the road. This stylish design is going to help to enhance the look of the roof of your vehicle, as well as your roof rack. And when you get your fairing in your box and you pull it out, you're going to have this protective film that's going to be over the top, and you can pull this off if you so choose, or you can leave it on to protect against any kind of bugs or dings or dents on your fairing. And with the wind hitting this, you're going to see that it can bounce off the top of the vehicle, so there's going to be rubber bumpers here on the bottom to help protect the vehicle's finish. And all your tools and accessories for this that you're going to need, including your bolts, washers, clips, brackets, all that stuff will be included, including your Allen tool to fasten them and tighten them down. The Rhino-Rack fairing offers a limited lifetime warranty through the manufacturer. Now that we've gone over some features, let's show you how easy it is to install.
Just make sure that you have your back bolts undone, so the plates will slide out of the way like they have. Set it over the top of your cross-bar and then you can rotate them so they fit nice and flush. Now, this fairing will work with your round, square, elliptical, even arrow type crossbars, and some factory crossbars as well. You just need to make sure that your crossbar has a width of at least 35 1/2 inches. As you can see, these are going to be nice and contoured to the Rhino-Rack roof rack system, meeting up with all the grooves and keeping it nice and aerodynamic. Rotate the bottom around so that the hole lines up with the other hole.
Then, take your bolt, your Allen bolt with the washer, place it in the top, and start threading it in. Use your included Allen tool to tighten them down, and we'll repeat this on the other three. And as you can see when we tighten down the front ones, it's going to pull and adjust pressure to push down on the front by tightening up that back racket. You can see it coming back down it, and you just want to be careful not over-tighten these because the plastic can break. Keep in mind for all your different lengths, all the hardware and features will be the same, and that completes the look at our Rhino-Rack fairings.

Where do I start?
I've been whitewater kayaking for 22 or so years now. I've always used used either Yakima or Thule products...
Until I bought a 2015 Nissan Rogue with a naked roof. The curvature of the roof and large door jams mean that Yakima and Thule can't make racks for them. I went to a place that does custom installs and again because of the curvature of the roof, they couldn't give me a rack. This meant no kayaking which is really bad news.
Enter the Rhino rack system. I purchased the feet, the fit kit, the cross bars and a Yakima "big stack" stacker. The first issue I had is the reccomended size for the Nissan Rogue is only 48 inches. Way too small too haul 4-5 (very light) whitewater kayaks. I called etrailer and they were SUPER helpful, told me I can buy the 65 in cross bars and they'll work fine.
I held my breath and placed my order. I was nervous leaving my trusted name brands. The order arrived super fast (they told me it would arrive by Friday but it actually arrived on Thursday) and everything was packaged rock solid. I was impressed.
I read the instructions and put the rack system on my car. It took about a hour (it was hot and I worked slowly) but the rack system is SUPER SOLID. I love it. Rhino might have a "forever" customer out of me.
-The rack system is very stable. I can't move it with my hands by pushing or pulling.
-The rubber stripping you put on the top and bottom of the bar is an awesome added feature AND it reduces wind noise.
-Adding the fairing reduced wind noise even further. With four boats on the roof you couldn't hear any extra noise.
The ONE thing I dislike is that you need to use the supplied Allen wrench to take the rack on and off the car. It's a small complaint, but other systems I've used in the past don't have them.
I paid much less for this system than I would have if I purchased one of the aforementioned systems, but I'm really really satisfied with the product. We will see how well it holds up over long-term use, but it looks awesome!

I installed the 44" RRRF3 Rhino Flairing on my 2006 Chevy Silverado with the 52" Aero Bars. Very easy to install. Without fairing my Aero Bars were relatively quiet. One thing I observed was an improperly adjusted fairing adds to wind noise, very important to test drive and adjust fairing angle to minimize noise. After a couple of adjustments and a good tightening (do not over tighten) the bars and fairing met my quiet expectation. very satisfied, THANKS.

Fairly easy to install, looks good and greatly reduced normal wind noise...unless driving between 62 and 65 MPH, which causes the fairing to resonate very. Very loudly. I've tried using a number of felt pads to try to dampen it, but no dice. Still trying to figure out a way to alleviate it.

Well shoot, normally the fairing will help no matter what speed. I can only recommend just making sure all the hardware is tight and the strips on the top of the bars are secure and there are not any gaps.

Reputation alone, for the product (Rhino Rack I ordered is spot on, but the service from erailer was terrific!! Easy to order, payment was smooth, tracking of the package was easy & it arrived in perfect condition and ahead of schedule. Price was good and fair, in some cases well under their competition. etrailer made it so easy and quick to install with their [online] video instruction. Big plus!!!! Thanks etrailer, I’ll be back for more!

After a year the rack is working out great. Holds bikes and kayaks stable and confidently. The arms in the door jams can create a minor lean, but it drains out the door. When it rains and you open your windows after, the rack drips directly onto your window buttons. These are minor but worth mention, I’m beyond happy with my rack. Get the wind fairing for bonus cool points

Loved it and it fit pretty well. the only thing i struggled with was part of the installation and the location that the sheet wanted the racks to be placed. After some adjustment everything worked out fine and i love the result. Would recommend. On a side note I thought the bars might look weird compared to the towers, due to size, however they actually look great.

Buyers beware. This company does not except returns if you install the item on your car, never use it and decide to try and return it. I was told that even though I never used the wind fairing I could not return it because I placed it on top of my car. I did not like the fit of the fairing so wanted to return it but was told no.....idk how you can tell the way it will fit without installing it?

- What Roof Rack Fairing Fits on Thule Wingbar Evo CrossbarsWhile we have a fairing solution that fits the Thule Wingbars the Thule fairings do not fit since the bar dimensions are slightly different. Instead you'd want one of these fairings as they fit most styles of crossbars. So for a 40 inch fairing we have part # INA261, 44 inch part # RRRF3, 48 inch # INA262, and 31 inch part # INA260. You want to go with a fairing that best fits the distance between the feet of the rack you have for best wind noise reduction!
view full answer... - Recommended Fairing for Roof Rack to Reduce Wind NoiseFor your Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack # RR78XR I recommend the Rhino-Rack Fairing for Roof Racks - 44" Long # RRRF3. This will dramatically reduce the wind noise by moving the air over the crossbar. I've attached a video of the installation to assist.

- Parts Needed to Carry 3 Bikes or 3 Longboard Surfboards with a 2018 Honda CivicTo transport the 3 longboards on the roof of your 2018 Honda Civic I recommend going with the Yakima JetStream crossbars system but with longer bars to accommodate all of your boards. Since the max amount of boards you can stack on a carrier is 2 we have to make sure there is enough room to place the longboards side by side. For a roof rack use the following: 60" JetStream Crossbars # Y00426 BaseLine Towers - # Y28TR Fit Kit - # Y06182 Fit Kit - # Y06183 Then for carriers I recommend...
view full answer... - How to Determine Which Wind Fairing to Get for a 50" Roof RackMore than likely you are not going to want a 50" long wind fairing. Odds are that the 50" crossbars you got will overhang the feet slightly and you want the wind fairing to fit in between the mounting feet. The best way to determine what wind fairing you will need is to measure the distance between the feet of the roof rack and get the wind fairing that is closest to that measurement. The most likely option would be the Inno Fairing for Roof Racks # INA262 which is 48". There is also the...
view full answer... - Reducing Noise from a Rhino Rack XTray Roof RackThe shape of a roof basket like the XTray, part # RMCB01 can make it very loud when travelling, but there are a few things you can do to help it be a little quieter as you're travelling. The first option is to simply remove the roof basket and store it when not in use. This will save the basket from any unnessary damage, but risks it not being available when you want it, or having the style you want for your vehicle. The next option is to replace your vortex strips, part # RRM626 ....
view full answer... - What Size Fairing Should Be Used Based On Roof Rack Cross Bar Length?I recommend using the Rhino-Rack Fairing for Roof Racks - 44" Long # RRRF3. When looking for a fairing, you want to cover as much of the bar as possible while able to attach within the feet/towers of your roof rack. The more air that you can direct over the bar, the less wind noise, so the widest you can get and not create more noise by going past your vehicle the better.
view full answer... - Does Rhino-Rack HD Roof Rack for 2020 Toyota Corolla Sedan Have Static Load RatingI checked with Rhino-Rack and they specifically mention they only have dynamic (moving) load ratings, and that is exactly what the 165 lb capacity is with the rack that fits your 2020 Toyota Corolla sedan. Rooftop tents generally only call for a rack to have a certain dynamic capacity so I recommend checking out your tent's manual to find out. As for the roof rack for your 2020 Toyota Corolla, here are the parts you need: - Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Roof Rack Crossbars # # RB1250B-2 (Black)...

- How to Pick Out Roof Rack Fairing from YakimaWhen picking out a fairing for a roof rack the best way to do it is to measure the distance between the feet of the rack and go with the fairing that matches that distance the best. We can't stop you from ordering any size you want though. We have the part # RRRF3 which measures 44 inches long, the part # INA261 which is 40 inches, # INA262 which is 48 and # INA260 which is 31 inches. The great thing about these fairings is that their hardware can fit most crossbar shapes.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Loud Whistling After Rhino Rack Roof Rack InstallDid you install the rubber strip in the upper and lower channel of the crossbars? What you described sounds like you are missing that as these are aero bars and should not be whistling at all. If there are any holes in the channel on the bottom or top of the bar they should be covered to get rid of the noise. Or you can use a fairing like part # RRRF3 to direct the air over the rack.
view full answer... - Solution for Roof Fairing on Vehicle w Rail Grab Roof Rack Where Theres Gap Between Roof/FairingWe had a similar issue here with an employee here and what he ended up doing was getting a second narrower fairing to attach to the lower section of the main fairing to bridge the gap between the fairing and the roof. Since the Rhino Rack fairings are priced the best and have a shape that would work the best for what you are doing I would recommend you measure the distance between your side rails and then go with the one that would fit the best. For a 38 inch long fairing you would want...

- Can a Fairing be Added to Thule AeroBlade Roof Rack CrossbarsThule only claims that the AeroBlade crossbars are quieter than other bars, which is true, but no roof rack will be silent, especially round and square bars. Just be glad that you didn't hear any flugelhorns! You can add a fairing, just not a Thule one. The Rhino-Rack fairings will fit on crossbars up to 1-1/4 inches tall and up to 3-1/2 inches wide. The Thule AeroBlade bars are slightly smaller than this so the Rhino-Rack fairings will work. The Rhino-Rack fairings are available in 4...
view full answer... - Crossbar Spacing For Rhino-Rack Roof Rack on 2020 VW Altas Cross SportI checked with Rhino-Rack and the crossbar spacing for their roof rack on a 2020 VW Atlas Cross Sport should be between 27-9/16" and 31-1/2". The correct fit is the following: - Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA137B-2 - Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs # RR64VJ Even if you have the crossbars with the correct spacing, there may still be wind noise, and by far the best option to remedy that is with a wind fairing: - Rhino-Rack Fairing for Roof Racks - 44" Long # RRRF3
view full answer... - What is the Difference Between Curt Roof Rack Crossbars and Thule Roof Rack with Evo Raised Feet?I wouldn't say that you're missing anything; the Curt Roof Rack for Raised Side Rails # C18118 are a solid, low cost roof rack option that looks great. When you look at them compared to something like the Thule Roof Rack with Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH711220 and # TH710401 the differences are extremely subtle and may not matter to a lot of consumers. Curt is primarily a company known for making trailer hitches and towing products, so roof racks aren't exactly their specialty. When it comes...

- Excessive Wind Noise After Installing Rola Roof Rack On 2016 Toyota Rav4Even Aero Bar Crossbars on your 2016 Toyota Rav4 will create some wind noise. All roof racks will have some drag and noise and the style will be a determining factor. On your Rola crossbars, installing the rubber undercovers will drastically help with this noise as right now that channel is creating drag and excess noise. I highly recommend installing those undercovers as soon as possible. If you want to further reduce wind noise, I recommend installing a fairing. The Rhino-Rack Fairing...
view full answer... - 44 Inch Fairing for a 2007 Honda Element with Factory Roof RackI did some checking that suggests the 44 inch fairing would work on your 2007 Honda Element and factory roof rack. For a 44 inch universal fit fairing you can use Rhino-Rack fairing # RRRF3. I have linked a video review of Rhino-Rack fairings for you.
view full answer... - Recommendation to Reduce Wind Noise on a 2016 Volvo XC70 Roof RackRoof rack fairings are designed to direct the air over the crossbars which allows wind noise you described to be greatly reduced. Inno fairings are designed to fit most crossbar designs so that would be your best option. For a 40 inch fairing we have the part # INA261 and then for a 31 inch fairing we have the # INA260. What you need to do is measure the distance between the feet of the crossbars and go with the fairing that best matches that dimension.
view full answer... - Replacement Hardware for Yakima WindShield FairingThe replacement hardware for a Yakima WindShield fairing is part # Y8870044, though this does not include the straps that go through the brackets. I am not sure which size WindShield you need if you do have to get a replacement but the sizes available are 31 inches # INA260, 40 inches # INA261, 44 inches # RRRF3, and 48 inches # INA262.
view full answer... - Fairing for a Rhino Rack Vortex Roof Rack on a 2015 Volkswagen Golf VII 5-Door WagonFor installation, the Rhino Rack ROC25, part # RR23QR, is not intended to line up with the factory roof rack holes during install. It will install exactly as you have it right now in your picture. I can't recommend opening the moon roof while having a roof rack installed, as there is a chance that the rack will contact the glass as it opens or the noise and wind will change direction because of the crossbar and affect the passengers or cargo in the vehicle. Generally, we don't recommend...

- Replacement Fairing for Curt C18115 Roof Cargo BasketThe closest alternative we offer for the # C18115-FAR replacement fairing would be the Rhino Rack # RRRF3 which is 44 inches long as opposed to the Curt # C18115-FAR which is 1 inch longer. The problem you'll run into by attempting to use a different fairing is that the mounting holes won't line up. I'd recommend going with the fairing that was designed for use with your basket, the # C18115-FAR.
view full answer... - Recommended Fairing for Rhino-Rack 54 Inch Square Bars on 2008 Chevy Silverado The Rhino-Rack 50 Inch Long Fairing # RRRF4 referenced in your question should work nicely with the 54 inch Rhino Rack Square Crossbars on your 2008 Chevy Silverado. The overall length of the mounting clips, from outside to outside, is right at 43 inches with this model fairing. This is pretty close to the 43-1/4 inch measurement you took between the crossbar supports on your Silverado's roof, so you may just want to verify that this is correct. If you find that it's a bit smaller, you...

- Rhino-Rack Vortex Roof Rack Compatibility with Yakima Fat Cat 6 Roof Ski/Snowboard Carrier Y03088The Yakima Fat Cat 6 Locking Rooftop Ski and Snowboard Carrier has mounting hardware that will fit all crossbar shapes up to maximum bar dimensions of 3-7/16 wide x 1-3/4-inches tall. This size range accommodates almost all factory and aftermarket roof rack bars. Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero crossbars are 3-1/8 wide x 1-3/16-inches tall so they're a great fit. For your 2015 Subaru WRX your Vortex rack options are shown on the linked page. All racks fit the sedan with a bare roof. Both silver...
view full answer... - Which Wind Fairing Can Be Used on a Rhino Rack Universal Pioneer PlatformI have a solution for you, but there is not a fairing solution that will mount directly to a universal Pioneer platform like the # RR42115BF; all of the fairings designed for the Pioneer platform are designed to fit specific platforms and not the universal model. Instead, you can mount a fairing directly to the crossbars under the platform. If you've got Rhino Rack aero style crossbars you can use the Rhino-Rack Fairing for Roof Racks - 44" Long # RRRF3, which is the same size of the Rhino-Rack...
view full answer... - Recommended Roof Rack And Wind Fairing For 2008 Volvo C30for your 2008 C30 I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Roof Rack. This is one of the quietest roof racks on the market because of the rubber Vortex rubber insert in the track on the crossbar. For this roof rack you will need part # RRVA126B-2, part # RRRDM01, part # RRRLKVA, and part # DK452. It is best to keep the sun roof closed when the roof rack is installed whether it is empty or loaded. Even though every effort is made to make this roof rack quiet, the wind hitting the crossbars...
view full answer... - Recommended Wind Fairing for 46 Inch CrossbarsThe wind fairing you will want to get for your 46 inch Rhino Rack crossbars such as # RRVA118B-2 is going to depend on the distance between the legs on your roof rack. If you have at least 35-1/2 inches between the legs of your Rhino Rack crossbars you should use the 44 inch Rhino-Rack Fairing for Roof Racks # RRRF3. The other option will be if you have at least 30-1/2 inches between the legs of your roof rack; if so you should use the 38 inch Rhino-Rack Fairing for Roof Racks # RRRF2. I...
