Video Transcript for Thule Crossbars AirScreen XT Review
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..

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: Andrew L.03/09/2021
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: Anthony10/25/2021
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.

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

Very pleased with the way the Thule XT airscreen looks on my roof bars. Well made and easy to install.
by: Andre07/25/2021
The instructions were half missing and dimensionally does not make the same footprint as the previous generation (this one rests on top of the sunroof that LUCKILY, I don't use) whereas the the previous one easily reached forward far enough to clear it. etrailer does not have a look-up feature for sizing for this product (at least not for a MB ML350 SUV). 4 Stars is actually generous.
by: Renee 01/01/2021
Used on our GM rack on a Chevy Sonic Hatchback. I'd say the noise was a 6 pre air screen and it cuts it down to a 2. Very easy and simple to install
by: Owen07/01/2022
Great product

I used this on my 3500 Chevy van. It has cut down on the noise and I’m very pleased.

- Will Thule Fairing Fit Square CrossbarsI spoke with my contact at Thule and the Fairing for Roof Racks, # TH82WV, was designed for use on the Thule square bars. Since test fits have only been performed on Thule crossbars, we can not guarantee that the fairing will work on all square crossbars.

If you click the provided link, you can see video of the fairing being installed.
view full answer... - Recommended Roof Rack Fairing for 2013 Toyota Camry SEFor the 2013 Camry SE, Thule recommends a 44 inch fairing, so the # TH82WV fairing you mentioned would be the perfect choice. The fairing is compatible with Thule square bar, AeroBlade or AeroBlade Edge crossbars.
view full answer... - Recommended Fairing For Thule Aero Square Bar Roof Rack on 2009 Volkswagen RabbitAdding a fairing is one way to help decrease the wind noise you are experiencing with your Thule Aero Roof Rack # TH400XT with Square Crossbars. The fairing Thule recommends for your 2009 Volkswagen Rabbit is the AirScreen Fairing for Roof Racks, 44 Inches Long # TH82WV. Fairings are designed to help deflect the wind and cut down the noise experienced with square bar roof racks. The AirScreen Fairing is designed to fit AeroBlade, AeroBlade Edge, and Square Bar roof racks. I've attached...

The fairing attaches to your crossbar at 4 points and has minimal hardware for a fast installation. I have attached a review video of this fairing for you.
view full answer... - Which Fairing Fits a Thule Square Bar Roof Rack on a 2010 Ford FusionI checked with Thule and the recommended fairing for their square bar roof rack on your 2010 Ford Fusion is # TH82WV which is the 44 inch model that you mentioned. The vehicle in the video happens to have side rails to which the crossbars are attached. The front crossbar cannot go forward far enough for the fairing to clear the sun roof. If possible you will want to place the fairing so that it is not resting on the sun roof. Being on the sun roof doesn't change the effectiveness of...
view full answer... - How To Decrease Roof Rack Wind NoiseA wind deflector like the AirScreen XT # TH82WV would work great for that! It will strap on the front bar of your roof rack system and will deflect that air up and over your sun roof. It will decrease the wind noise a significant amount!

view full answer... - Will Clamps From Thule AirScreen XT TH82WV Fit Thule Fairing 871XT For AeroBlade CrossbarsI took a look at the instructions and parts for both, and there isn't a way to use your older Thule 871XT wind fairing from what I can see, as the clamps install much differently on the AirScreen XT. So while I know it isn't exactly what you were wanting to hear, the only option to get a fairing that fits the AeroBlade crossbars is to replace it with a new AirScreen XT. Since your old fairing is 44 inches, the same length of AirScreen that will fit your AeroBlade crossbars is the following: -...
view full answer... - Recommended Fairing for Thule Wingbar Evo Roof Rack on 2015 Volkswagen TiguanFor your Thule roof rack setup on your 2015 Volkswagen Tiguan, Thule recommends a 44 inch long fairing, part # TH8702. The fairing (or AirScreen, as Thule refers to it) will redirect the air stream and quiet things to a degree. To further reduce noise, make sure the rubber strips are in place along the underside of the crossbars. If they're missing, the wind will catch them and make a heckuva racket.
view full answer... - Which Thule Fairing for Thule Aeroblade Roof Rack on 2006 Honda CivicI checked with Thule and the 44 inch fairing part # TH82WV is the correct size for the Thule Aeroblade roof rack on your 2006 Honda Civic sedan.
view full answer... - Thule Fairing for Roof Rack on a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Quad Cab PickupThe roof rack fairing Thule recommends for your 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Quad Cab pickup is the 44 inch Thule AirScreen Fairing # TH82WV. I have linked an instruction video as well.
view full answer... - Recommended Fairing for 53 Thule AeroBlade Roof Rack on a 2011 Toyota VenzaWhen looking at fairings you always want to choose one that spans the space between the legs of your roof rack. For your application the 44" long AirScreen # TH82WV would likely be the best fit. If you take a measurement and you find something a bit different just let me know and I can make a different recommendation for you.

- Will the Thule AirScreen Fairing Fit Yakima JetStream CrossbarsYes, the Thule AirScreen Fairing # TH82WV is compatible with the Yakima JetStream crossbars. The fairing is compatible with aero-style bars that are no more than 3-1/4" long x 1-1/8" tall. Since the JetStream bars measure 3-1/8" wide x 1" tall they fall into this category.
view full answer... - Recommended Thule Fairing for AeroBlade Load Bars on 2017 VW Golf AlltrackFor the Thule 47 inch AeroBlade Load Bars like the ARB47B that are on your 2017 VW Golf Alltrack, Thule recommends using the 44 inch long AirScreen Fairing # TH82WV. This will work perfectly with the load bars on your vehicle and will definitely help with the whistling you are hearing during travel, along with helping to reduce wind drag. I have attached a short video demonstration on this product that you can also check out. I also recommend just checking to make sure that the rubber...
view full answer... - Will Thule AirScreen Fairing Fit OEM Roof Rack on 2017 Honda CR-VYes, it is compatible with the OEM roof rack on your 2017 Honda CR-V. Since the overall length of the Thule AirScreen Fairing for Roof Racks # TH82WV is 44" and you measured 43.5" you are good to go as the mounting clamps will sit inside what you measured. If your front crossbar sits in from of the moon roof then you should be okay. The clamps fit underneath the crossbar though so if your front crossbar is directly above the moonroof when you open it then you may have some fit issues if...
view full answer... - What is the Correct Thule AirScreen Fairing for a 2019 Subaru Crosstrek with Factory Roof RackIn order to find the correct Thule AirScreen Fairing for your 2019 Subaru Crosstrek with a factory roof rack, we need to measure the distance between the mounting feet and then select the size closest to that. For example, if the distance between the mounting feet on your roof rack is 48" then we need to use the Thule 44" AirScreen Fairing part # TH82WV. I have attached a list of the different lengths for the Thule AirScreen Fairing.
view full answer... - What Is The Right Size Wind Fairing For My 2021 BMW X3?You just want to have as much of the crossbar covered with the fairing as possible. I would suggest getting a fairing that's at least 42.5 inches long. This one # TH82WV will work well with your current roof rack!

- What Fairing Should I Use On My 1999 Mercedes CLK Class Thule Aeroblade BarsWhen it comes to wind screen fairings for your Thule aeroblade roof rack, I recommend The AirScreen XT # TH82WV for Thule Crossbars. The aerodynamic fairing will deflect air over your roof rack to reduce wind noise and drag. They're 44 inches long x 5-1/2 inch tall by 2 inches wide. I will put a specs review video below.
view full answer... - Correct AirScreen Size for Roof Rack on 2019 Honda CR-VThe 38" Thule AirScreen Fairing TH8701 will fit with your 2019 Honda CR-V but you might have a little space leftover - you should be able to fit the 44" long AirScreen XT # TH82WV instead. With fairings you can always use smaller ones than what is recommended but you can rarely use larger than recommended options. Since it sounds like you already have the 38" fairing I'd go ahead and install it to see if you like the length it gives you and then you can upgrade to the 44" if you want something...

view full answer... - How To Fix Wind Noise After Installing Thule Rooftop Ski CarrierIt won't completely get rid of the wind noise but adding a fairing to the front crossbar will help cut down on this some, there's really nothing else you can do about this though. I recommend the AirScreen XT for Thule Crossbars which features a simple clamp-on install. If you can let me know how much space you have between your crossbars, I'd be glad to make sure you get the correct size such as part # TH82WV which will fill a 44" gap. I have attached all our sizes below for you as well...

I have attached a list below with our sizes if the above won't work.
