No, the Thule fairing Load Bar Clip, # 8537361, does not fit the AeroBlade crossbars. If your bars are at or under 1-1/4" tall x 3-1/2" wide then you could use a Rhino-Rack fairing. There are several sizes:

# RRRF1 for a 32 inch
# RRRF2 for a 38 inch
# RRRF3 for a 44 inch
# RRRF4 for a 50 inch

Thule does not offer a fairing for the AeroBlade bars because they say they are quiet enough and aerodynamic enough to do without one.
