Question:
Hello, Im thinking about purchasing a roof rack fairing for my wifes 2015 Honda CRV. Are fairings durable enough to withstand a car wash? Thanks

Expert Reply:
Truthfully no roof rack fairing is meant to withstand the environment of an automated carwash. One may hold up to an occasional trip through one but this exposure presents a degree of mechanical stress that is outside what fairing makers will consider normal use.
If the wife likes to keep her car clean with a weekly trip to the automated carwash then I do not recommend installing a fairing. Regularly hand-washing a fairing like # INA261 is perfectly fine.
