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..

This item is great. Reduces noise somewhat, looks great and I suppose reduces with wind-resistance for economy improvements.
by: Kathy 09/04/2022
This works very well on my 2019 JEEP Wrangler Unlimited. I use it when I have kayaks on the roof. It is mounted on the Thule rack system, at the "B" post.
Very easy to install, well worth the money.

Simple assembly and light. Installed to reduce noise w/ square Thule bars...(eliminated whistle and hum greatly)
by: Stuart01/06/2022
I put this on the Thule wing bar under a Thule roof box and drove 1000 miles on a ski trip. It cut the noise in half. At 75 mph into the wind is the worst case and still a bit loud so I also added a rope around the wing bar for maximum airflow disruption. I wouldn't change my choice to have the Jeep soft top one touch Skyroof so it's loud anyway. The Airscreen made the noise much less.

This was an opened item at very reduced cost. Listing said didn't include hardware but there was more there than expected. Very good service and provide a very good deal for this item
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.
by: Gaileee09/06/2023
I love etrailer and the wonderful support they give to customers. Wanted one of these air screens and knew that the best place to ship for it online was here! Thanks for your help again!

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!!!
by: Andrew L.03/09/2021
The Thule Airscreen arrived a day earlier than I anticipated, which was awesome. Very smooth process. Installation was a snap (I recommend doing the first half inside on the kitchen counter or table, then moving to the garage/outdoors for the actual attachment to the vehicle). No tools are required, which made it easy. It looks great on the car -- and I opted for the "long" size (44") which I think looks better for our 2020 VW Golf than the smaller versions.
by: Gabriel07/01/2023
Product works but some of the rubber feet have came off the bottom of them and can’t seem to find replacements
by: Rozanne05/06/2023
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: Anthony10/25/2021
It looks all right, thought it would be further forward. But my roof rack doesn't slide further forward than it is now. All of the parts were there and it assembled great. Overall mildly satisfied haven't driven with it yet.
by: Reed12/21/2021
Looks awesome and totally eliminated the sound caused by my Thule square bars

- Is there a Thule Roof Rack Fairing for a 1998 Jeep Cherokee with Thule Crossbars InstalledYou can use a fairing with the Thule crossbars on your 1998 Jeep Cherokee. You will want to measure the distance between the feet where they attach to the bar to get the correct size. We have several lengths available like the 52 inch # TH22WV. I have included a link to the installation details for you to view. The fairings are adjustable to get just the right position on your vehicle. I have included a link to a video demo of the Thule fairings for you also.
view full answer... - How to Determine the Correct Roof FairingThe recommended crossbar length for your 2016 Ford Transit T350 is 60" long. Therefore, as long as you have 52" of space between the mounting brackets that attach to the crossbar, the Thule AirScreen Fairing for Roof Racks part # TH22WV will work well for you. I have included a video review of this fairing for you.
view full answer... - Recommended Wind Fairing For Thule Roof Rack On 2016 Jeep RenegadeI could not verify the crossbars you have on the roof of your 2016 Renegade but I believe they're the 53-inch Thule AeroBlade crossbars. Based on the length of the crossbars I recommend the Thule AirScreen Fairing, part # TH22WV. This fairing is 52-inches long and will work great with the AeroBlade crossbars. This is the longest wind fairing we offer by Thule. You can take a quick measurement of your crossbar to make sure the # TH22WV will work for you. If you find you have a different...
view full answer... - Fairing Recommendation for 65 inch Thule Square Crossbars and Thule HullavatorYes you can use a fairing with your square bars and an older Thule Hullavator kayak carrier. Since your bars are 65 inches long you'd want the 52 inch long Thule AirScreen part # TH8703. This will make a noticeable difference in the amount of noise.
view full answer... - Is the Thule Airscreen Fairing Much Different than Older Fairing DesignThe Thule Airscreen Fairing part # TH22WV is the latest version of the Thule fairing for their roof racks. Mostly the change is for appearance but some of the mounting brackets were redesigned to be a bit more robust. If you have the older style and went with a newer one you really wouldn't notice a difference.
view full answer... - Is Thule Airscreen XT Wind Fairing Compatible With Jeep Freedom TopYour Jeep's Freedom top is absolutely compatible and will work with the AirScreen XT for Thule Crossbars - 52" Long # TH22WV. The AirScreen XT # TH22WV will fit on the crossbars and stay lowered when you are traveling, as that's how it will redirect the wind over the bars. So it isn't going to bounce and damage the material on your Jeep's top and will do a very nice job of helping reduce the will noise.
view full answer... - Mounting Width Required for Thule AirScreen 52 Inch FairingI went out to the warehouse and did some measuring to assist. The mounts will be 39-3/4 inches from outside to outside, so the 52 inch fairing # TH22WV will work for your application. I've attached a photo and video to further assist.

- Recommended Air Fairing for a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek with Thule CrossbarsIt looks like the Subaru-issued crossbars for the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek are Thule aero bars. I cannot tell if they are WingBar or AeroBlade crossbars. Either way, though, the AirScreen XT that you referenced will work. However, the particular one that you referenced, part # TH22WV, is 52" long. Your Crosstrek is prescribed 50" long crossbars, so this one will probably not work. Instead, the 44" version of the AirScreen XT, part # TH82WV, is more likely a better fit. I suggest measuring...
view full answer... - Can I Use Thule Wind Fairing on 2021 Kia Telluride Factory CrossbarsThe AirScreen XT for Thule Roof Racks- 44" # TH82WV or 52" # TH22WV hasn't been tested with factory crossbars, so you'll want to measure the dimensions of your bars- the # TH82WV was designed to fit on bars that are mostly 1-1/4" tall and 3-1/2" wide. If your factory bars aren't close to those it might be too loose of a fit, but typically factory crossbars are roughly similar to aero style crossbars in width so it'll be the height that you might find hardest to make work. You can measure...
view full answer... - Can AirScreen XT for Thule Crossbars Safely Sit on Sunroof GlassYes, the AirScreen XT for Thule Crossbars # TH22WV can safely sit on the sunroof glass on your 2023 BMW X7 M60i. It does not have issues with damaging paint and I would expect it to scratch up the paint on the roof before it would hurt glass. You can be confident that the sunroof will remain unharmed after installation.

- Thule Wind Fairing for 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee with MOPAR Roof RackI did some checking and the recommended fairing for your 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee with MOPAR roof rack is # TH22WV. This is the 52 inch long model. I have linked a video review for you.
view full answer... - Thule Fairing Recommendation for 2015 Audi A3 with Thule Aeroblade Roof Rack InstalledIdeally you have the fairing as wide as the feet of your roof rack. If the fairing is flush with the feet of the rack or is a bit narrower than the feet that's where you want to be. You don't want it extending past the feet though. Since the crossbars of your roof rack are 53 inches then going with a 52 inch fairing would be too long. The 44 inch part # TH82WV would be the best option.
view full answer... - Thule Roof Rack Fairing for a 2014 Toyota CamryI checked with Thule and they list the 44 inch fairing # TH82WV as the proper fit for your 2014 Toyota Camry. It is compatible with Thule AeroBlade, AeroBlade Edge, and SquareBar crossbars.
view full answer... - How to Pick Out Correct Roof Rack Fairing for 2020 Porsche Cayenne Roof RackHey Phil, so Thule doesn't list fits for their fairings but we can still help you pick out what you would want. The key is to measure the distance between the feet or front to back rails on the vehicle roof rack and then go with the fairing that fits that measurement the best. So if you get 44 inches or slightly over the part # TH82WV would be what you would want. We also have a 52 inch long fairing part # TH22WV and 38 inch part # TH72WV.
