Question:
Hello, Im looking for help to find the correct clips for a Thule airscreen. I am running Yakima jetstream cross bars and I have the Thule 872XT Fairing that comes with square and a smaller style crossbar clips but are too small for my jetstream bars. Will one of these following parts adapt to my bars? Item # 8528583001 Item # TH22NH thank you for your time!

Expert Reply:
Your older Thule Fairing TH872XT has an outdated mounting system which we have a replacement for as part # 8537361, but this is the same as the older mounting system so it unfortunately won't be compatible with your Yakima JetStream crossbars.
Since this is the case you'll need a new fairing that's designed to fit the aero-style crossbars. For an upgrade directly from Thule we have the 44" AirScreen XT # TH82WV which uses the newest style of mounting brackets, or we also have some Yakima WindShield options with the same general dimensions:
- 40" WindShield # Y05017
- 46" WindShield # Y05018
These have the same style of mounting brackets at the Thule one I mentioned above.
