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..

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.

Completes a rack for sure!



by:

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



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

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!

I have good news as we do have the rubber piece that you are looking for. It is part # TH22FH on our site.

Great product. Does what it's supposed to, the wind noise is significantly decreased and it looks great!



by:

Very pleased with the way the Thule XT airscreen looks on my roof bars. Well made and easy to install.

Awesome! Comes off and on easily and I e ran this thing through the car wash like 30 times this past year with no issues. 10/10
Also e trailer ships everything at lightspeed. 11/10



by:

Very satisfied thanks



by:

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:

Item was just as described, shipped quickly and arrived in great shape. Always a good experience with etrailor.com!



by:

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

  • What Size Thule AirScreen XT Wind Fairing Will Fit A 2022 Honda Civic OEM Crossbar
    Hey Anthony, The best way to determine what size wind fairing will fit your Civic's OEM crossbars would be to measure the distance between the feet/towers and then choosing a fairing that falls under within that spacing. Yakima's fitment guide shows the same style crossbar having about a 38" spacing between the feet/towers so it's probably safe to assume your OEM crossbars are pretty close to the same spacing since the use the same attachment points. I would measure first to confirm and...

    Here's how to pick out the correct size fairing/windscreen for the roof rack on your 2021 Ram 1500. You'll need to measure the distance between the feet of the rack and then go with the length that best matches that dimension. We have the 44 inch # TH82WV, the 38 inch # TH72WV, the 52 inch # TH22WV, and the 32 inch # TH62WV.

  • Thule Roof Fairing for 50 Long Square Crossbars on a 2016 Subaru WRX
    The Thule AirScreen Fairing for Roof Racks part # TH82WV comes with two types of clamps which are for aero and square crossbars therefore, you will not need to buy an adapter in order to install this fairing on a Thule square crossbar. The padded rubber bumpers on the bottom of the fairing do not have a "protective sticker" but you should have no concerns with them rubbing into the paint as the force applied to the bumpers is minimal. As long as there is 44" of space between the mounting...

  • How to Pick Out Roof Rack Fairing for 2015 Volkswagen Golf
    To pick out a fairing you need to measure the distance between the feet of the roof rack and go with one that fits the best between them. The Thule fairings are the way to go since they are able to attach to all crossbar shapes and sizes. Below are the available sizes we offer that are for Thule bars and can fit other crossbars: # TH62WV for a 32 inch fairing, # TH72WV for 38 inch fairing # TH82WV for a 44 inch fairing, # TH22WV for a 52 inch fairing.

  • Is the Malone AirFlow2 Crossbar Roof Rack a Loud or Quiet Rack
    Hey Charee, so the Malone AirFlow2 roof rack part number # MAL74AR that you referenced is a quieter roof rack due to the aero shape of the bars but basically all roof racks add some noise. This style is by far the quietest though. Another thing you can try is have the crossbars as far back on the roof as possible as that typically helps reduce noise. Fairings like the part # TH82WV direct the air over the crossbars too which helps reduce sound as well.

  • Recommended Wind Fairing For SportRack Square Bars
    Since the AirScreen XT for Thule Crossbars - 44" Long # TH82WV measures 44" long and will be a tight fit, I recommend going with the AirScreen XT for Thule Crossbars - 38" Long # TH72WV which measures 38" long in total and will fit between your crossbar's usable length of 41". This will simply strap onto your crossbars and will reduce wind noise and drag. I attached a demonstration video for you to check out.

  • Replacement Mounting Hardware for Older Thule Ski Rack
    If you can give me the information on your Thule rack, we may have some replacement parts available. I've linked the page to your options of replacement hardware we carry. It is very likely the noise is due to an improper fit or mounting hardware issues. The # 7533998 is the fit for many of the older racks. Another help would be to use a fairing like the Thule AirScreen XT Fairing for Roof Racks - 44" Long # TH82WV or 52 inch # TH8703. This will deflect the air up over the rack and...

  • Malone Roof Rack Vs. Thule Roof Rack
    The Malone Universal Crossbar System # MPG201 is a more economical choice but it still does a good job. The design and quality of Thule's system is why they have such a large difference in price. Whether you go with the Thule Crossroads system # TH712400 and TH450R (discontinued) or Thule Evo system # TH712400 and # TH710401 they both are going to be a high quality roof rack system. The Thule racks both have a weight capacity of 220 lbs compared to Malones 165 lbs capacity. You should...

  • Will Thule Fairing Fit Square Crossbars
    I 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.

  • 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...

  • Fairing Recommendation for a 2013 Hyundai Elantra Coupe and Rola Roof Rack
    I will be happy to help you to choose a fairing that will work with a Rola roof rack and your 2013 Hyundai Elantra coupe. I have always been a fan of the Rola roof racks like # 59741 and I think you will really like it. For a fairing that will complement the roof rack and that will fit well I recommend the Rhino-Rack 44 inch fairing # RRRF3. I choose this fairing over the Thule AirScreen # TH82WV because the Rhino-Rack Vortex bars and the Rola aero bars have nearly identical dimensions....

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.

    You will loose the adjustable pitch feature on the Kuat Grip # GRR4B when using the T-Channel Mount Kit # GRDMK because the adjustable pitch happens on the clamping feet only. With that being said, unless you're worried about the clearance between your roof and the skis/snowboard or want to mount to the T-Channels, you won't need to use the T-Channel kit. While the Kuat Grip is 4-1/2" tall and the SnowPack # TH7326 is 3-1/2" tall, I don't think that you'll find a noticeable difference in...
