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!!!
by: Ryan06/12/2022
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.

- What AirScreen XT Fairing is the Best Size for My OEM Crossbars on My 2019 Mazda CX-9?I did some research on 2019 Mazda CX-9 factory crossbars, and I could not confirm the length of your particular bars. However, the general rule of thumb with fairings is to purchase the fairing that covers as much as the usable crossbar length as possible. With that being said, we do have different lengths of AirScreen XTs: - 32" long # TH62WV - 38" long # TH72WV - 44" long # TH82WV - 52" long # TH22WV As far as the ability for the fairing's ability to clamp around your factory crossbars,...
view full answer... - Fairing Needed for Thule AeroBlade CrossbarsWe do have fairings that are compatible with Thule roof rack systems like your AeroBlade crossbars. They come in the following lengths: 32" - part # TH62WV 38" - part # TH72WV 44" - part # TH82WV Since you already bought a fairing you can try using the Replacement Load Bar Clip # 8537361 for Thule crossbars, but there is no guarantee that it is compatible with a different fairing. Aero style crossbars still have some wind noise, but they are not nearly as noisy as the traditional round...
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... - Replacement Aero Bar Clip For Thule AirScreen FairingI checked with Thule, and the only replacement clip that is available for aero bars are for the last generation of Thule fairings, the Thule AirScreen. 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...

Ideally the fairing you go with matches the same width as the feet of the roof rack.
view full answer... - Fairing that Can Fit Inno Roof Rack Installed on BMW X5 2020To pick out a fairing you need to measure the distance between the feet of the roof rack and go with one that fits the best between them. Below are the available sizes we offer that are for Thule bars and can fit other crossbars: # TH62WV for a 32 inch fairing, # TH72WV for a 38 inch fairing, # TH82WV for a 44 inch fairing, # TH22WV for a 52 inch fairing.
view full answer... - Will Thule AirScreen XT Fit OEM Crossbars on a 2022 Volkswagen Golf GTIThe AirScreen XT should have no issues fitting the OEM crossbars on your 2022 Volkswagen Golf GTI. I believe the 38" # TH72WV should work but I'll need to know the distance between the legs on your roof rack to make an accurate recommendation. Please note your crossbars are a little taller than the average aftermarket so the fairing may not sit all the way down to your roof but it will be better than a big opening! Attached is a review video for you to check out.

- Recommended Fairing for Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack on 2016 Jeep Grand CherokeeThe Thule # TH72WV AirScreen Fairing you mentioned is indeed a fit for the Thule AeroBlade Edge # TH7602-TH7602 crossbars you have. Since your crossbars are about 35-1/4 inches long, using the 38 inch fairing would give you about a 1-3/8 inch overhang past the end of each crossbar. If you went with the longer # TH82WV fairing, you'd extend past the end of the rack by 4-3/8 inches on either side, which I don't think would look quite right. You can measure 1-3/8 and 4-3/8 past the edge of...
view full answer... - Recommended Wind Fairing For SportRack Square BarsSince the AirScreen XT for Thule Crossbars - 44" Long # TH82WV measures 44" long and will be a tight fit, I recommend going with the AirScreen XT for Thule Crossbars - 38" Long # TH72WV which measures 38" long in total and will fit between your crossbar's usable length of 41". This will simply strap onto your crossbars and will reduce wind noise and drag. I attached a demonstration video for you to check out.
view full answer... - Thule AirScreen XT Fairing Recommendation for a 2023 Volvo XC90 RechargeI recommend using the 44" AirScreen XT # TH82WV if you have the OEM roof rack on your 2023 Volvo XC90 Recharge. If you have an aftermarket roof rack then you'll want the smaller 38" AirScreen XT # TH72WV instead. Attached is a review video for you to check out!
view full answer... - Recommended Thule Fairing for 2005 Honda Accord with Thule 53 Inch WingBar CrossbarsYou are correct that the wind defection provided by the fairing is not needed with Thule WingBars, but many people like the look of the roof rack with the fairing. Because so many people like the look, Thule's new AirScreen fairings are compatible with the WingBars. For your 2005 Honda Accord, the correct Thule AirScreen Fairing is the 38 Inch Long # TH72WV. I confirmed with my contact at Thule that this is the correct fairing for your vehicle.

When installing the AirScreen XT I would recommend placing the feet in front of the sunroof. If you place them on your sunroof you will not be able to operate it with the # TH72WV installed. The installation steps include applying protective decals to the vehicle's clean surface underneath where the feet make contact with the roof. I found a variety of different side rails on the X5 while...

- 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.

- How To Determine Which Thule AirScreen Will Work Best For A 2019 Volkswagen Jetta GLI In order to determine the correct AirScreen for your 2019 Volkswagen Jetta GLI, you're going to need to measure the distance between the feet of the roof rack, and pick out an AirScreen that fits best between the feet. For AirScreens, we offer # TH62WV for a 32" fairing, which you've already seen, # TH72WV for a 38" fairing, # TH82WV for a 44" fairing, and # TH22WV for a 52" fairing.

This will fit with either the Thule roof racks below for your Volvo. If you have a different roof rack please let me know and I can help you find the correct fairing which will attach to your crossbars.

view full answer... - Can 44 Thule AirScreen XT Fairing Fit 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with Mopar Roof RackThe Thule AirScreen Fairing XT # TH82WV will definitely fit around the Mopar roof rack on your 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited, you just need to check to make sure that the 44" length of the fairing fits inside your side rails. The clips themselves will be okay, I just don't have the exact measurement between your OEM flush rails to tell if that part is compatible or not. If you don't have 44" in that space then the 38" AirScreen XT # TH72WV should fit.

- What Is The Distance From The The Cross Bar To The Top Of The Fairing On The Thule AirScreen XTI spoke to Thule about the Thule AirScreen XT # TH72WV, and they mentioned that the distance really depends on the roof line of your vehicle. The struts are adjustable to the curvature of the roof, so there isn't a defined measurement.
