Video Transcript for An In-Depth Look at the AirScreen XT for Thule Crossbars

Hi, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today, we have the Thule AirScreen XT, so this is gonna be a wind fairing for your Thule crossbars. We'll take a look at how to install it and how it works right here at etrailer.com. Wind fairings became super popular for the round and square crossbar market, especially the square bar, because of just how they're shaped, lots of noise when you go down the highway. Now, aero bars are a lot more popular, especially things like the Thule WingBar Evo, which is what we have up top on our vehicle. So we don't have as much wind noise, but for certain situations, maybe you have a cargo basket, maybe you have a bike on your roof, maybe you're carrying larger or bulkier items, you may want to decrease that wind noise, and that's where this will come in handy. I put a bulky thing on the roof, which is an entire bike with a bike rack and we have them on our aero bars.

Now, let's drive down the highway and listen to it. There's a little bit of wind noise from the bike, so we'll see if using a fairing will make a difference. So there really wasn't that much noise that I could notice, like I could hear a little whistle from the bike, but nothing too concerning, but I was also going about 60 miles per hour, and I just had a single bike up there. So if you have something bulkier, maybe a cargo basket, and you have more wind noise, you may want to install this fairing. So the fairing on a roof and the clip lined up to our crossbar, you get the strap, bring that over the crossbar, you're gonna push down while pressing on that clip, it's gonna be a tight fit.

So all the straps are secure, everything's lined up, we've got the rubber pads on the bottom. Well, now, we gotta take it for a drive. Now, while there was a little bit of a change, I don't think there was that big of a difference when it comes to wind noise that I could hear. Now, that could be different depending on what's on the roof and or what speeds we're going at, how much wind is coming down, things like that. So I do think that wind fairings we're very important when we had round and square crossbars as our only options.

Now, that we have aerodynamic bars though, not as big of a deal, they're solid, they're sturdy, and they don't make as much wind noise or have that much wind drag going down the road. Pretty much all of the other brands that have crossbars also have fairings for them as an option. This one, I do like the ratchet straps. They're a little tricky at first to get into and tighten down, but compared to clamps and things that have wing nuts, these are so much easier to use, kinda like the one that Inno has for their screen, you have to tighten that down with some knobs. Now, most of them have the rubber stoppers on the bottom that sit on your roof, I do like how this one is curved and designed to sit gently on your roof, create that grip and traction without sliding, but also, not scratching up your roof.

So if you are gonna get an air screen or a wind screen or a wind fairing for your roof rack, I personally don't think it's as big of a deal as it was with only round and square crossbar options. But amongst your wind fairing options, Thule has a very nice sleek design and very easy to install. Remember, you do have those different lengths, so make sure you get the right one for you. And that was a look at our Thule AirScreen XT Wind Fairing for your crossbars here at etrailer. My name is Evangeline and I hope you enjoyed the journey..

Average Customer Rating:  4.7 out of 5 stars   (82 Customer Reviews)

Universal fairing deflects wind over your roof rack to drastically reduce noise and drag. Easy, tool-free installation on your front crossbar. Around-the-bar clamps won't interfere with T-track access.

by:

This item is great. Reduces noise somewhat, looks great and I suppose reduces with wind-resistance for economy improvements.



by:

I put this on the Thule wing bar under a Thule roof box and drove 1000 miles on a ski trip. It cut the noise in half. At 75 mph into the wind is the worst case and still a bit loud so I also added a rope around the wing bar for maximum airflow disruption. I wouldn't change my choice to have the Jeep soft top one touch Skyroof so it's loud anyway. The Airscreen made the noise much less.



by:

This works very well on my 2019 JEEP Wrangler Unlimited. I use it when I have kayaks on the roof. It is mounted on the Thule rack system, at the "B" post.
Very easy to install, well worth the money.



by:

Simple assembly and light. Installed to reduce noise w/ square Thule bars...(eliminated whistle and hum greatly)



by:

Fast shipping just what I wanted.



by:

I have this product on my Ram 1500 and Mazda CX-9. No issues with noise.

Product arrived quickly and in good condition. Will install fairing tomorrow. All parts seem to be in good condition. Will order from etrailer again. Good service and tutorials.



by:

We have a Volvo XC 60 with the large roof window. When we traveled with our Thule roof box, we had a whistling noise coming from the roof window. After we installed the Thule AirScreen under the roof box, the whistle went away. There is still some wind noise, but a huge difference with the AirScreen. The AirScreen is easy to install and we are totally happy with the purchase. etrailer is a great place to shop!



by:

At the very last minute on beginning an 11 hour trip to Florida I needed a Thule windscreen. After checking with all local stores with no luck I decided to check with etrailer. Sure enough they had one in stock for me to pay 2 day delivery. The unit came right on time however it was missing two of the fasteners. After buying 2 screws and wing nuts I was on my way. Now the great part I received an email asking my opinion of the product. In mentioning the missing parts I received them overnight to my new address. Thank you etrailer!!!



by:

This is the exact right product for my Thule (VW sold) crossbars. I must say that etrailer has fantastic customer support. I ordered an incorrect item the first time. My fault. Etrailer provided remediation that was more than fair. This is a great organization to work with!



by:

The Thule Airscreen arrived a day earlier than I anticipated, which was awesome. Very smooth process. Installation was a snap (I recommend doing the first half inside on the kitchen counter or table, then moving to the garage/outdoors for the actual attachment to the vehicle). No tools are required, which made it easy. It looks great on the car -- and I opted for the "long" size (44") which I think looks better for our 2020 VW Golf than the smaller versions.



by:

Completes a rack for sure!



by:

Awesome thank you, great service, reliable customer service.
Great job & love the product..



by:

Despite ordering the same model that I was replacing the size and angle was not the same. The angle was much steeper and was noisier than my previous AirScreen. The more acute angle also didn’t work well with my moonroof whereas as the previous AirScreen did not impeded the sliding glass.



by:

It looks all right, thought it would be further forward. But my roof rack doesn't slide further forward than it is now. All of the parts were there and it assembled great. Overall mildly satisfied haven't driven with it yet.



by:

This was an opened item at very reduced cost. Listing said didn't include hardware but there was more there than expected. Very good service and provide a very good deal for this item



by:

I love etrailer and the wonderful support they give to customers. Wanted one of these air screens and knew that the best place to ship for it online was here! Thanks for your help again!



by:

Looks awesome and totally eliminated the sound caused by my Thule square bars

  • Can AirScreen XT for Thule Crossbars Safely Sit on Sunroof Glass
    Yes, the AirScreen XT for Thule Crossbars # TH22WV can safely sit on the sunroof glass on your 2023 BMW X7 M60i. It does not have issues with damaging paint and I would expect it to scratch up the paint on the roof before it would hurt glass. You can be confident that the sunroof will remain unharmed after installation.

  • Recommended Air Fairing for a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek with Thule Crossbars
    It looks like the Subaru-issued crossbars for the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek are Thule aero bars. I cannot tell if they are WingBar or AeroBlade crossbars. Either way, though, the AirScreen XT that you referenced will work. However, the particular one that you referenced, part # TH22WV, is 52" long. Your Crosstrek is prescribed 50" long crossbars, so this one will probably not work. Instead, the 44" version of the AirScreen XT, part # TH82WV, is more likely a better fit. I suggest measuring...

  • Is the Thule Airscreen Fairing Much Different than Older Fairing Design
    The Thule Airscreen Fairing part # TH22WV is the latest version of the Thule fairing for their roof racks.

If you have the older style and went with a newer one you really wouldn't notice a difference.
