Video Transcript for Thule Crossbars AirScreen XT Review
Hi, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today, we have the Thule AirScreen XT, so this is gonna be a wind fairing for your Thule crossbars. We'll take a look at how to install it and how it works right here at etrailer.com. Wind fairings became super popular for the round and square crossbar market, especially the square bar, because of just how they're shaped, lots of noise when you go down the highway. Now, aero bars are a lot more popular, especially things like the Thule WingBar Evo, which is what we have up top on our vehicle. So we don't have as much wind noise, but for certain situations, maybe you have a cargo basket, maybe you have a bike on your roof, maybe you're carrying larger or bulkier items, you may want to decrease that wind noise, and that's where this will come in handy. I put a bulky thing on the roof, which is an entire bike with a bike rack and we have them on our aero bars.
Now, let's drive down the highway and listen to it. There's a little bit of wind noise from the bike, so we'll see if using a fairing will make a difference. So there really wasn't that much noise that I could notice, like I could hear a little whistle from the bike, but nothing too concerning, but I was also going about 60 miles per hour, and I just had a single bike up there. So if you have something bulkier, maybe a cargo basket, and you have more wind noise, you may want to install this fairing. So the fairing on a roof and the clip lined up to our crossbar, you get the strap, bring that over the crossbar, you're gonna push down while pressing on that clip, it's gonna be a tight fit.
So all the straps are secure, everything's lined up, we've got the rubber pads on the bottom. Well, now, we gotta take it for a drive. Now, while there was a little bit of a change, I don't think there was that big of a difference when it comes to wind noise that I could hear. Now, that could be different depending on what's on the roof and or what speeds we're going at, how much wind is coming down, things like that. So I do think that wind fairings we're very important when we had round and square crossbars as our only options.
Now, that we have aerodynamic bars though, not as big of a deal, they're solid, they're sturdy, and they don't make as much wind noise or have that much wind drag going down the road. Pretty much all of the other brands that have crossbars also have fairings for them as an option. This one, I do like the ratchet straps. They're a little tricky at first to get into and tighten down, but compared to clamps and things that have wing nuts, these are so much easier to use, kinda like the one that Inno has for their screen, you have to tighten that down with some knobs. Now, most of them have the rubber stoppers on the bottom that sit on your roof, I do like how this one is curved and designed to sit gently on your roof, create that grip and traction without sliding, but also, not scratching up your roof.
So if you are gonna get an air screen or a wind screen or a wind fairing for your roof rack, I personally don't think it's as big of a deal as it was with only round and square crossbar options. But amongst your wind fairing options, Thule has a very nice sleek design and very easy to install. Remember, you do have those different lengths, so make sure you get the right one for you. And that was a look at our Thule AirScreen XT Wind Fairing for your crossbars here at etrailer. My name is Evangeline and I hope you enjoyed the journey..

Product arrived quickly and in good condition. Will install fairing tomorrow. All parts seem to be in good condition. Will order from etrailer again. Good service and tutorials.
by: John09/13/2023
Despite ordering the same model that I was replacing the size and angle was not the same. The angle was much steeper and was noisier than my previous AirScreen. The more acute angle also didn’t work well with my moonroof whereas as the previous AirScreen did not impeded the sliding glass.

At the very last minute on beginning an 11 hour trip to Florida I needed a Thule windscreen. After checking with all local stores with no luck I decided to check with etrailer. Sure enough they had one in stock for me to pay 2 day delivery. The unit came right on time however it was missing two of the fasteners. After buying 2 screws and wing nuts I was on my way. Now the great part I received an email asking my opinion of the product. In mentioning the missing parts I received them overnight to my new address. Thank you etrailer!!!

Great fit, looks super cool on on e30 ix, and genuinely reduces wind noise by a good bit. Wish I bought it sooner.

Came with a missing part. Missing Part number is 870200. My order Number is 112103361. I made it work with a spare bolt and nut. But now it does not match. Send me a new piece please.
For $xxx not including tax, it should have extra parts.. It’s a plastic part, the part I found myself and used will actually last longer. But still does not match, unless I get all new matching hardware or send me the the replacement part..!. It would have been a 5-10 min thing to put together if it wasn’t for the missing part. I don’t have a garage or a shop so I had to dig through some crap to find something that would work and went to the hard ware store to find a washer and nut.

This item is great. Reduces noise somewhat, looks great and I suppose reduces with wind-resistance for economy improvements.

- Availability of Wind Fairing for OEM Crossbars on a 2014 Audi SQ5We do have a variety of wind fairings that you may be able to use with the OEM roof rack on your 2014 Audi SQ5. I like the Thule AirScreen Fairings which are compatible with aero bars that are a max of 3-1/4" long x 1-1/8" tall or square bars that are a max of 1-3/8" long x 1" tall. These come in the following sizes: 32" - # TH62WV 38" - # TH72WV 44" - # TH82WV 52" - # TH22WV Simply choose the length that will best fit between the roof rack legs on your Audi.
view full answer... - Replacement Load Bar Clip for Thule Wind FairingWe do have the correct replacement load bar clip for a Thule wind fairing, but it depends on the fairing that you have. For the older Thule fairings the correct part is the Replacement Load Bar Clip for Thule Roof Rack Fairing # 8537361. If you have the newer Thule AirScreen Fairing # TH62WV, # TH72WV, # TH82WV, or # TH22WV, then the correct replacement clip is the Replacement Aero Bar Clip for Thule AirScreen Fairings # 8528583001.

If you prefer the square crossbars, you can construct a rack using the following parts: SquareBars, part # TH712200 or WingBar # TH711200 Foot Pack # TH710601 Vehicle Specific Fit Kit, part # TH186007 A fairing is also available, part # TH72WV. If you would prefer the WingBar crossbars with the elliptical profile, use the following: 47 inch WingBars, part # TH711220 for black or # TH711200 in silver Rapid Podium Foot Pack for Aero Bars, part...
view full answer... - Wind Fairing For 2014 Subaru Impreza With Factory Roof RackI can definitely help you find the correct wind fairing for the factory roof rack on your 2014 Subaru Impreza. To know if the 38" AirScreen XT for Thule Crossbars # TH72WV will fit you will need to measure between the crossbar feet. The Thule # TH72WV requires at least 38" between the crossbar feet so you will need to measure your factory crossbars. I included a video of the Thule # TH72WV for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Recommended Thule AirScreen For 53" Thule SquareBar Evo Crossbars On 2017 Volkswagen JettaSince the Thule Square Bar roof rack system for your 2017 Volkswagen Jetta uses 53" Thule SquareBar Evo Crossbars # TH712400 I recommend the 38" AirScreen XT for Thule Crossbars # TH72WV. You may be able to use the larger 44" AirScreen # TH82WV but you will need to measure the distance inside to inside of your crossbar feet to make sure you have at least 44" of space available.
view full answer... - 2013 Toyota Sienna Roof Rack and Fairing RecommendationFor your 2013 Toyota Sienna that has factory raised rails on the roof we have the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack part # MPG216 listed as a confirmed fit. Then for a fairing we have the part # TH72WV which is 38 inches long.
view full answer... - Does Thule Airscreen XT Only Fit Thule CrossbarsSince the mounting hardware of the Airscreen XT part # TH72WV is universal it can basically install on any crossbar so it does not have to be a Thule crossbar.
view full answer... - Thule Fairing that Can Fit Subaru Factory CrossbarsYes the AirScreen XT for Thule Crossbars # TH72WV would fit the OEM crossbars of a 2020 Subaru Legacy due to the universal design of the attachment hardware.
view full answer... - Fairing Recommendation for Thule Roof Rack on 2019 Subaru WRX STiThe trick to picking out the correct wind fairing length for a roof rack is to base it off of the distance between the feet of the rack. Since the recommended Thule Wingbar roof rack part numbers # TH711220, # TH460R, and # THKIT3131 gave you a 53 inch long crossbar the 44 inch length part # TH82WV would be your best option most likely. But if the distance is less than 44 inches between the feet the 38 inch long fairing part # TH72WV would be what you'd need.

- Recommend Thule Fairing for a 2001 Toyota 4RunnerThe Thule fairing I recommend is part # TH72WV for your 2001 Toyota 4Runner as it is 38 inches. The fairing will fit Thule Rapid Aero, round and square load bars. According to Thule, the 38-inch fairing is the best fit.
view full answer... - Which Thule Fairing is Recommended with 50-Inch Thule Cross BarsUsually I would go with a fairing slightly shorter with your Thule load bars at 50-inches long. The 38-inch Thule fairing # TH72WV will work fine with your 2013 Subaru XV Crosstek. It is also a recommended fit per Thule. I did include an FAQ and installation video too.
view full answer... - Wind Fairing for 47 Inch Thule Square Bars and Cargo Box RecommendationWe can get you set up with a wind fairing to lessen the noise of the square crossbars, as well as a nice cargo box, but let's go ahead and start with the wind fairing for your 47 inch Thule SquareBar Evo Crossbars # TH712200. A wind fairing is going to be the perfect antidote for the wind noise you are hearing, the best option that will allow you to mount the fairing clamps in between the feet on your crossbars is the 38 inch AirScreen XT for Thule Crossbars # TH72WV. As for the cargo...

You can try using the square bar adapter that comes with the fairing to see if that aids in tightening the fairing to your crossbars, and also make sure you are ratcheting the straps all the way tight to secure the fairing. There is not an adapter that...

If you have the AirScreen model TH8700, TH8701, TH8702, or TH8703 then what you need is the following part: - Replacement Aero Bar Clip for Thule AirScreen Fairings # 8528583001 If you have anything older than the last generation AirScreen, there isn't a replacement clip, so a new wind fairing, the AirScreen XT, is the best option, and...

It also has individual adjustment knobs that allow you to customize to fit to your roof. The fairing is compatible with aero-style bars that are no more than 3-1/4" long x 1-1/8" tall so this may help you to determine if they will fit your OEM crossbars. It looks like their 44" AirScreen XT...

The fairing should not give the rack an uneven look as the clips of the fairing are pretty thick.
