Hey John.
Based on the information you provided, I was not able to find a suitable clamp that will adapt the older fairing. The arm in the picture was designed around the older # 853-7361 clamp. Since this clamp won't fit around the larger OEM aero crossbar, and the newer Thule aero clamps don't connect to that old arm, there unfortunately no adapter that bridges the two. I recommend looking into a replacement AirScreen like # TH72WV. These come in multiple sizes, so you need to measure the clear usable width of the front crossbar between the two roof rack feet to find the correct size.
What do you use the crossbars for?
