Question:
Hi. I bought the yakima skyline with the core bar no wind fairing and a rhino ski rack. The roof rack works fine no complaint but once I use the ski rack its make the roof of my car vibrate really bad. Is there a fix to this?

Expert Reply:
Roof accessories can cause vibration and wind noise like what you mentioned but a fairing will help as it will direct the wind over the rack which allows it to stop.
You'd want to go with the fairing that best fits the distance between the feet of your rack which we have the part # Y05018 which is 46 inches long, # Y05017 which is 40 inches, part # Y05019 which is 52 inches, and part # Y05016 which is 34 inches.
The great thing about Yakima fairings is that they fit all crossbar sizes and shapes.
