Today we'll be taking a look at the Yakima windshield fairing. These are available in a variety of different sizes: at 34 inches long, part number Y05016; at 40 inches long, part number Y05017; at 46 inches long, part number Y05018; at 52 inches long, part number Y05019. The one we'll be working with today is 40 inches long, but they all share the same features. This universal fairing deflects wind around your roof rack to drastically reduce noise and drag. Its 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 or 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 JetStream Crossbar, but this will work with your round, square, arrow, elliptical, and most factory roof rack systems. Let's go ahead and set it in place. We want to make sure the notched portion sits in our crossbar like this, and then we can go ahead and center it up.
Looks like I 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. 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'll complete our look at the Yakima windshield fairing.

Looks good, very solid. Although, I have yet to put it through its paces. But seems very secure and will definitely do the job. 707445
The air deflector made a big difference in the noise that is transferred into the interior from the rack that I have. 634979
Super sleek and durable plan on using on my trips to California 633695
Perfect fit for my 2013 Nissan Rogue. Dramatically cuts down on wind noise. Extremely easy to install. 576296
Pretty simple to install to existing round bar rack. Mounting strap locations lined up with tower bases, but I was able to finesse things to work with no issues. Nice look and reduced wind noise on my 2004 VW R32 462344
The deflector instantly quieted what was a very noisy rack above 45mph. The deflector (and racks) have been on since the moment I bought them. It's a great product strong, durable, and effective. Well worth the price. 385102

Great product! Glad I chose this company and this item :) 29981
Since adding a roof rack on my car, I have had to put up with an irritating, loud howling noise, especially when driving over 40 mph. I heard that a fairing would cut the wind resistance and reduce the noise, but I had no idea how much! I should have gotten this a long time ago. Can't believe the BIG difference a fairing makes. 16955
Makes the rack look alot better from the front and helps reduce the noise on the freeway! 15550
Review from a similar Yakima WindShield in Accessories and Parts
Was considering building a DIY wind deflector for my Ford Transit with Yakima roof racks, but opted for the Yakima Wind Shield because I have the Yakima Racks with the Core Bar. Anything I make would not looks as good as the Wind Shield. Between my racks, there are 2 solar panels. I needed a means of directing the wind 'over' the solar panels as opposed to allowing the air to go under the panels which could cause a separation. The assembly and installation was very simple. It blends in well and enhances the looks of the van considerably. I have not tested it yet for sound reduction however, I feel confident that it works as advertised. Very impressed with Yakima engineering in general. Have other Yakima products as well as Thule. I believe they have Thule beat in all respects. 567922

This fairing fit nicely over my factory moonroof and aftermarket wind deflector on my 2012 Toyota Tundra Crewmax. It will be important to move the front rack into a position to allow the fairing to rest just behind the factory roof mounted XM antenna pod. 44784
