Today we'll be taking a look at the Yakima windshield fairing. These are available in a variety of different sizes, at 52 inches long part number Y05019, and 46 inches long, part number Y05018, at 34 inches long, part number Y05016. We'll be working with the 40 inch long one, and that's part number Y05017. This universal fairing deflects wind around your roof rack to drastically reduce noise and drag. It's sleek design enhances the overall look of your roof rack. It's an easy clamp on installation, and the padded feet are going to protect your vehicle's finish.
The theft deterring hardware requires the included tool for installation for removal. The fairing is constructed out of a flexible heavy duty plastic, and it's covered by Yakima's love it till you leave it lifetime warranty. Now that we've gone over the features, I'll go ahead and show you how to get it installed. First thing we want to do is go ahead and set our fairing in position. Today, we're working with the Yakima jet stream crossbar, but this will work with your round, square, arrow, elliptical and most factory refrac systems. Let's go ahead and set it in place.
We want to make sure the notch portion sits in our crossbar like this, and then we can go ahead and center it up. Looks like we need to come this way a little bit. Once we've got it centered up, we can then bring our straps around and then we're going to connect it to the underside here. Once we've got them all connected, we can then tighten them down with our included tool. As you can see, it's drawing the strap through, and it'll be a nice snug fit.
Once we get it nice and tight, we can just repeat it for the other 3 straps. With all those tightened down, let's go ahead and take our strap and tuck it in the keeper here. Just like that. Now the last thing that we can do is take our clear pad and place it on our vehicle where our fairing comes in contact. That's just to protect our vehicle from any harm. That's going to complete our look at the Yakima windshield fairing, part number Y05017..
