AirScreen XT for Thule Crossbars - 52" Long

Video Transcript for Review of Thule Roof Rack - Airscreen XT Fairing - TH22WV

Jeff: Hello everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're going to take a look at this 52" long AirScreen XT for the Thule Crossbar. Now this is a aerodynamic fairing that that'll deflect the air over your roof rack to help dramatically reduce any wind noise and drag, and also help reduce fuel consumption. The fairing itself will install onto the crossbar at the front of your vehicle, just like that. It allows the wind to go right over it.It's a very easy installation.

Comes with included ratchet straps. There's no tools required. Basically, these ratchet straps will just go around the bar, and then you just pull them tight. It allows you to even access the crossbars T-track. In other words, if you have a crossbar that uses the Thule T-track system you can still use that T-track system with this on.

Also, the other thing I wanted to show you. This does come with the adapters. Just zoom in here. See if you can get a good look at it, but here's the ratchet straps we talked about. In other words, you just take them out, put it around your front crossbar, pull it through there, and then just pull it until it's tight.But also it comes with right in here...

You just pull these out. If you notice it comes with these square bar adapters, so if you still have the square crossbars on your vehicle you put this adapter in there, push it right in there, and that'll go up against the square crossbar, and then put your ratchet strap in, and pull it tight. If you don't have the square crossbars you can take these adapters out, and then you can see it's built for the aerodynamic ones. But these do come with it. Also, on the front here...

Let's zoom back out. You'll notice they have these rubber bumpers right down here at the bottom. These are padded rubber bumpers. This will help protect your roof from any scratches or abrasions. This is constructed of nylon and polycarbonate constructions. Makes it very strong and durable. It is made in the USA. The application for this, this will work on the Thule WingBar Evo, the WingBar Edge, the AeroBlade, and the AeroBlade Edge, and the SquareBar Evo Crossbars.I want to give you a few dimensions on this. The weight on it is only about 2 1/2 pounds, pretty light. The dimensions on this, if we do the overall length from this tip all the way to this tip, it's going to be right at 52 inches. Now, the height of this. It will vary in the very middle. The Height of it is right about 4 1/4 inches. As you go towards the outside each way, it'll go up to 4 1/2 inches. On the very end right here, they have this rubber. Or this hard plastic protector. It'll go up to 5 1/2 inches tall. That should do it for the review on this 52 inch long AirScreen XT for the Thule Crossbars.
