Recommended Air Screen Wind Fairing for SportRack SR1002 Roof Rack on 2003 Chevrolet Malibu

Question

Question:

I have the roof rack # SR1002 for my 2003 Chevrolet Malibo. I installed it, fits great but I get air vibrations. Do you sell a air deflector for the front bar for my car or do you know who does? Thank You

All roof racks do make noise. At highway speeds especially the least-noisy bar type is the elliptical shape, also known as an aero-style bar. These make less noise than round and square bars but they still make noise. We have a solution for your SportRack square bar rack # SR1002.

We offer a fairing from SportRack's parent company, Thule, that will fit on your # SR1002 square bar roof rack. My SportRack contact suggested Thule's 44-inch AirScreen Fairing # TH82WV. This will fit well on your bars and help to reduce the wind noise generated by the crossbars.
