Video Transcript for Yakima Universal Roof Rack WindShield Fairing Review
Today we'll be taking a look at the Yakima windshield fairing. These are available in a variety of different sizes: at 34 inches long, part number Y05016; at 40 inches long, part number Y05017; at 46 inches long, part number Y05018; at 52 inches long, part number Y05019. The one we'll be working with today is 40 inches long, but they all share the same features. This universal fairing deflects wind around your roof rack to drastically reduce noise and drag. Its sleek design enhances the overall look of your roof rack. It's an easy clamp-on installation, and the padded feet are going to protect your vehicle's finish. The theft-deterring hardware requires the included tool for installation or removal.
The fairing is constructed out of a flexible, heavy-duty plastic, and it's covered by Yakima's Love It Till You Leave It lifetime warranty. Now that we've gone over the features, I'll go ahead and show you how to get it installed. First thing we want to do is go ahead and set our fairing in position. Today, we're working with the Yakima JetStream Crossbar, but this will work with your round, square, arrow, elliptical, and most factory roof rack systems. Let's go ahead and set it in place. We want to make sure the notched portion sits in our crossbar like this, and then we can go ahead and center it up.
Looks like I need to come this way a little bit. Once we've got it centered up, we can then bring our straps around, and then we're going to connect it to the underside here. Once we've got them all connected, we can then tighten them down with our included tool. As you can see, it's drawing the strap through. It'll be a nice snug fit. Once we get it nice and tight, we can just repeat it for the other 3 straps.
With all those tightened down, let's go ahead and take our strap and tuck it in the keeper here, just like that. Now, the last thing that we can do is take our clear pad and place it on our vehicle where our fairing comes in contact. That's just to protect our vehicle from any harm. That'll complete our look at the Yakima windshield fairing.

Universal fairing deflects wind around your roof rack to drastically reduce noise and drag. Padded feet protect your vehicle's roof. Mounts easily to most crossbar configurations.by: Anthony11/29/2020
I have a 10th gen Civic sedan and I was dying to get the perfect roof rack set for my car. At the time of my purchase there was not many visuals of what the rack system looked like on this car.
I purchased the:
•Yakima 50in Jetstream crossbars
•Yakima baseline towers
•bc182 & bc183 clips
•Yakima 46in fairing
Overall I love how it looks on my car! During This COVID pandemic I have been camping more, and this is the perfect foundation! First off, the 46in fairing is the perfect fit for the 10th gen civic! Wind noise is low also with the help of the aerodynamic crossbars. My main concern was the fuel efficiency. On long road trips I still average 38-40 mpg with the rack on. My daily commutes I average 34 mpg without Econ on.

Works perfectly on my 2019 Hyundai Kona EV, having shifted from Thule to Yakima since Thule did not have a roof mount solution for the Kona EV. Good luck everyone!
by: Mark06/24/2023
The new fairing makes my Jepp look badass and solved the whistling problem around my roof racks. Also, very easy to install
by: Dae08/26/2017
This was the only fairing I could find to fit the OEM bars on my MK 6 Volkswagen Jetta. Installation was easy and the wind noises are gone
by: Gylmar Garcia05/04/2017
Looks great and fits like a glove on my aero bars! Definitely reduces the wind noise.
by: Tony12/08/2020
This Yakima fairing is all plastic, I don't think there are any metal components, even the tightening mechanism. Installed on round bars and the toothed straps holding the fairing to the rack bar strips out/slips before it tightens very securely. May work better on the aero type bars but it remains to be seen if they hold on round bars.
This fairing/windshield is much shorter than versions I purchased in years past. Older styles extended to the vehicle windshield and made a relatively seamless surface to deflect the wind up the vehicle windshield, up the Yakima fairing and over the roof racks. This model has about a one inch gap between the vehicle roof and the bottom of the Yakima fairing. This is probably a design compromise since the front roof rack sets so far back from the vehicle windshield but it will not deflect as much wind as older designs.
This fairing seems VERY over priced for the quality of the product.
New installation so I'll have to drive around to see if the fairing reduces wind noise or if it moves on the round bars....

Super sleek and durable plan on using on my trips to California
by: Andrew 09/11/2020
I had installed the roof rack on my Honda Element and knew I needed to do something because the wind noise was deafening. This Yakima wind fairing is perfect. Just what I needed. Easy to assemble and install. Looks great and it eliminates all of the wind noise.

Worked well to minimize the air noise on our Grand Cherokee, look nice, can't go through car wash, difficult to use as a roof rack
by: SJHughes12/23/2017
Pretty simple to install to existing round bar rack. Mounting strap locations lined up with tower bases, but I was able to finesse things to work with no issues. Nice look and reduced wind noise on my 2004 VW R32

Excellent customer service as always only place I shop for roof rack supplies is etrailer!!!
by: Randy L04/25/2019
The air deflector made a big difference in the noise that is transferred into the interior from the rack that I have.
by: Vannack01/04/2020
It wasn’t needed for the jetstream bars but I love the look of the windscreen paired with the roof rack.
by: Jack O.05/26/2017
The deflector instantly quieted what was a very noisy rack above 45mph. The deflector (and racks) have been on since the moment I bought them. It's a great product strong, durable, and effective. Well worth the price.

Excellent!!! Super easy installation and works well.

I recently purchased a Yakima rack, basket and fairing for my 2008 Honda Element and am couldn't be happier with the products, the pricing and the service I've received through etrailer. Thanks folks!

Great seller! Love my Yakima rack!
by: Elijah 07/12/2020
Excellent fairing. The only downside is that the package didn’t come with the clear
Pieces to put on my car so it would scrextch the paint. Idk if they didn’t pack it or just don’t supply those anymore but of they do I would like to and that sent to me

Simple, easy to install
by: Byron G10/21/2018
Perfect fit for my 2013 Nissan Rogue. Dramatically cuts down on wind noise. Extremely easy to install.
by: DeAnne 06/14/2011
Since adding a roof rack on my car, I have had to put up with an irritating, loud howling noise, especially when driving over 40 mph. I heard that a fairing would cut the wind resistance and reduce the noise, but I had no idea how much! I should have gotten this a long time ago. Can't believe the BIG difference a fairing makes.
by: Gwyn04/22/2015
Easy to install, a must with the roof r ack!
by: Christopher03/15/2022
Didn't notice much difference in the mind-numbing wind noise of the rack.
by: Chanarou09/15/2019
Looks good, very solid. Although, I have yet to put it through its paces. But seems very secure and will definitely do the job.

- Recommendation to Reduce Wind Noise of Ladder/Roof Rack of GMC Savana VanThe best way to reduce wind noise on a roof rack like what you have is with a fairing like the Yakima part # Y05018 that you referenced. What's really great about this fairing is that unlike other options that are roof rack specific this one has universal mounting hardware which allows it to easily fit all crossbar styles so this will fit and work great for you.
view full answer... - Fairing Recommendation for OEM Roof Rack on 2022 Toyota PriusThe fairing I recommend for the OEM roof rack on your 2022 Toyota Prius is the 46" Yakima WindShield Fairing # Y05018. Yakima test fit this specifically with the OEM roof rack and found this length to fit best.
view full answer... - Fairing Recommendation for Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack on 2015 Honda AccordThe Thule fairings don't fit the WingBar Evo crossbars, as the crossbar dimensions are a little different than the older AeroBlade crossbars but the Yakima fairings which use a strap-type clamp will fit. For the 2015 Accord, Yakima recommend the # Y05018 46 Inch WindShield fairing.
view full answer... - 2011 Range Rover Sport HSE Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform Fairing SolutionThe best fairing solution for the Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform that is 54 inches wide is going to be the Yakima part # Y05018 which is 46 inches long and will direct the air over your basket and roof to give you a much quieter ride quality.
view full answer... - Best Wind Fairing for Rhino-Rack Roof Rack on a 2020 Chevy SuburbanThe best wind fairing fit from Rhino-Rack is their 38" Fairing # RRRF2, but I actually recommend going with the 46" Yakima Fairing # Y05018 instead because it offers more coverage and has been tested and approved to fit on your 2020 Chevy Suburban.
view full answer... - Wind Fairing Recommendation for Euro-Style Roof Rack on a 2017 Ford C-MaxThe 44" Rhino-Rack Fairing for Roof Racks # RRRF3 is what you need for the Euro-Style roof rack on your 2017 Ford C-Max. The clamps do look like they are designed better for aero-style crossbars but the clamps will fit round, square, and aero crossbars styles without any issues. If you're interested in a different mount style I recommend checking out the Yakima WindShield Fairing for Roof Racks # Y05018 which secures using a strap-type system as opposed to clamps. Attached are review...
view full answer... - Fairing that Can Fit Factory Crossbars of 2020 Mazda 3The Yakima fairings have a unique hardware design that allows them to fit basically all crossbar designs. So what you'll want to do is measure the distance between the feet and go with the Yakima fairing that fits the best between them. For a 34 inch fairing you'd want # Y05016 For a 40 inch fairing you'd want # Y05017 For a 46 inch fairing you'd want # Y05018
view full answer... - Recommended Yakima Towers for For Round Bars on 2021 Honda Ridgeline With Factory Side RailsYakima recommends using round bars that are at least 58 inches in length for the 2021 Honda Ridgeline, so if the round bars you already have are at least that length, there's no reason why you can't reuse them. The Yakima # Y33TR TimberLine towers are exactly what I'd recommend you use. When the TimberLine towers are combined with the RoundBar SL adapter, part # Y03536, the round bars will work perfectly with the TimberLine towers. Because the round bars cause quite a bit of wind turbulence...
view full answer... - How to Pick Out Wind Fairing for Roof Rack on VehicleMeasure the distance between the feet or raised rails on the roof of your vehicle and pick out the Yakima fairing that falls right under that dimension in overall length. We have the part # Y05018 which measures 46 inches long, the part # Y05017 which is 40 inches, # Y05019 which is 52 and # Y05016 which is 34 inches. The great thing about Yakima fairings is that unlike other fairings their hardware can fit all crossbar shapes.
view full answer... - Determining Correct Length Windshield Fairing For Luggage Rack On 2012 Audi Q5We do have a wide range of wind fairings, but to determine the correct one for your 2012 Audi Q5 you will need to measure between the feet or base of the crossbars and once you have that measurement you will be able to choose the correct fairing for your vehicle. The available size Yakima Windshield fairings are as follows: 34" # Y05016 40" # Y05017 46" # Y05018 50" # Y05019 I included a video of the Yakima Windshield Faring for you to take a look at.

We have the part # Y05018 which measures 46 inches long, the part # Y05017 which is 40 inches, # Y05019 which is 52 and # Y05016 which is 34 inches. The great thing about Yakima fairings is that unlike other fairings their hardware can fit all crossbar shapes.
view full answer... - Solution that Prevents Wind Noise from Roof Rack and Roof CarriersRoof accessories can cause vibration and wind noise like what you mentioned but a fairing will help as it will direct the wind over the rack which allows it to stop. You'd want to go with the fairing that best fits the distance between the feet of your rack which we have the part # Y05018 which is 46 inches long, # Y05017 which is 40 inches, part # Y05019 which is 52 inches, and part # Y05016 which is 34 inches. The great thing about Yakima fairings is that they fit all crossbar sizes...

Instead we have Yakima fairings which can fit all crossbar sizes/shapes so that would be the way to go. You'd need to measure the distance between the raised rails of your roof and go with a fairing that fits between them the best. For a 46 inch fairing you'd need part # Y05018, for 40 inch you'd want the part # Y05017, for 34...

A fairing will definitely help reduce any whistling as well as drag.

view full answer... - Can Older Style Thule Wind Fairing Be Retro-Fitted with Newer Mounting Hardware for Aero CrossbarsYour 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...
view full answer... - Recommended Quietest Roof Rack For A 2022 Chevy Bolt EV With Naked RoofIf you are looking for the quietest roof rack system for your 2022 Chevy Bolt EV, you will want to go with the Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425. The asymmetrical JetFlow shape and built-in WindRidge helps to control air flow over and under these bars which dramatically reduces wind noise and vibration, even at highway speeds. So if you are looking for a good rack that wont be too loud, this is definitely the way to go. You can still use something like the Yakima WindShield Fairing #...

This roof rack includes the JetStream crossbars # Y00426, BaseLine towers # Y28TR, and fit kit # Y06168 designed for your F-150. To help cut down on the wind noise I recommend a fairing like part # Y05018. This attached to the front crossbar and has rubber bumpers that protect the truck finish. To secure the canoe to the crossbars I recommend the Thule Portage Canoe Carrier, part # TH819. This system attaches to...
