What Does the Replacement Cover Strip with Pattern for Thule AeroBlade Edge Cross Bars Fit

Question:

I researched that the Thule Cover Strip Patterned 1500mm resolves the wind sound from the roof rack for the 2012 Audi Q5 I just bought one yesterday. Is this the compatible model and how many would I need if 2 were required of the Thule model?

The Replacement Cover Strip with Pattern for Thule AeroBlade Edge Cross Bars # TH69JH installs into the top t-slot, which does help to reduce wind noise.

However, it sounds like you may have an OEM roof rack from Audi. I am not sure if this would be the correct fit or how many would be needed for your Audi crossbars.

What I can say is that the # TH69JH strip measures 59" long and fits the Thule AeroBlade Edge crossbars: 7501, 7501B, 7502, 7502B, 7503, 7503B, 7504, 7504B, 7601, 7601B, 7602, 7602B, 7603, 7603B, 7604, and 7604B. Unless your crossbars are longer than 59", you would need 2.
