The Replacement Aero Bar Clip for Thule AirScreen Fairings part # 8528583001 is a replacement clip for the Thule AirScreen Fairing part # TH8700, part # TH8701, part # TH8702, or part # TH8703. These fairing are designed to work with Thule AeroBlade, AeroBlade Edge, and SquareBar crossbars. The AeroBlade bars are 3-1/8 x 1-1/8. I recommend to measure your existing bars and if they are at least 3-1/8 wide x 1-1/8 tall and do not exceed 3-1/4" wide x 1-1/8" tall then the clips will work.

Thule's new AirScreen XT fairings mount with a more universal-installation design using around-the-bar ratchet straps. Check out the 44" long fairing # TH82WV and the review video that is linked for you.
