Question:
I have a 2016 Ford Fiesta ST with no existing rails. Interested in these roof racks, but would like to have a fairing on them, to limit wind noise while my sun roof is open. Also, what is a good compatible ski/snowboard carrier for these racks?

Expert Reply:
The Rhino-Rack 2500 roof rack that fit your 2016 Ford Fiesta with a bare roof consists of # RRVA118B-2 for crossbars, # RRRLKVA for feet, and custom fit kit # DK046. This rack features elliptical-shape crossbars that are quieter than round or square bars and these reduce the need for a wind fairing. Still, if you want one use # RRRF2 for greater reduced wind noise.
Most rack makers recommend NOT opening the sun roof/moon roof on a vehicle when a roof rack is installed since some mounted accessories, such as a ski carrier, may have mounting hardware that interferes with this vehicle feature. With a ski/board carrier (and the skis or boards) up on the roof there will be enough wind noise from those items that a fairing really won't do too much. In all honesty, I say save the money and skip the fairing.
On the linked page you can see all of our ski/snowboard carriers that fit on this elliptical shape bar.
These include high-value items from Rhino-Rack such as # RR574 which holds up to 4 pairs of skis or 2 snowboards.
