Fairing Needed for Thule AeroBlade Crossbars

Question:

I just bought a wind fairing off Craigslist and realize it doesn’t fit...they don’t make attachments to fit my AeroBlade? It’s noisy as hell i don’t know how they think it’s so quiet.

We do have fairings that are compatible with Thule roof rack systems like your AeroBlade crossbars. They come in the following lengths:

32" - part # TH62WV
38" - part # TH72WV
44" - part # TH82WV

Since you already bought a fairing you can try using the Replacement Load Bar Clip # 8537361 for Thule crossbars, but there is no guarantee that it is compatible with a different fairing.

Aero style crossbars still have some wind noise, but they are not nearly as noisy as the traditional round or square crossbars so they typically do not require a fairing.
