Review: Looks great, works as intended, easy install - The Yakima WindFairer is a great addition to any roof rack system, helping to reduce wind noise and improve aerodynamics while driving. It’s easy to install and fits most crossbars, making it a convenient upgrade for those who frequently use roof-mounted cargo carriers, bike racks, or kayak mounts. The sleek design not only enhances the look of your vehicle but also helps with fuel efficiency by minimizing drag. Made from durable materials, it holds up well against the elements and provides a quieter, smoother ride. For anyone looking to cut down on wind noise and improve their roof rack setup, the Yakima WindFairer is a solid choice.
Review: Looks awesome on my VW MK7 GTI and reduces wind noise - I love the utility and look of the VW OEM roof racks on my VW MK7 GTI, but they added a fair amount of wind noise on highways. After evaluating a few brands, I decided to take a chance of Yakima 46" wind fairing - it was the size recommended by Yakima's manual. Installation was very straightforward - you basically run some straps through some openings and tighten them with the included wrench tool until they don't go anymore. The manual says you can optionally cut off any excess material, but I didn't feel like my extended too far so I left it as is. The kit also comes with some clear plastic patches to place on the roof of the car in case you hit a bump and the fairing makes contact. Overall, the installation only took a few mins of effort. I spent more time organizing the parts and visualizing than actual doing. No sweat! Some folks on VW message boards worry about the thickness of the OEM racks and 3rd party fairings, but as you can see from the photos, the Yakima wind fairing works fine and feels very secure. Wind noise has been reduced - I'm no longer conscious of it. Cosmetically, the wind fairing adds to the curb appeal of my car. I'm extremely happy with the purchase.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have a 2017 subaru crosstrek.  will the 34 inch wind fairing fit the subaru areobars well?  how many clips are on the 34 inch, 3 or 4?**
A: Measure the distance of your front crossbar between the towers then select either the 34" or possibly the 40" Windshield.  There are three mounts on the 34" and 40" Windshields.

**Q: Will this fit a rhinorack vortex 2500 on an e46 bmw?**
A: We can't say it will fit for sure because we have not tested this. What we can say is that the Windshield will attached to most Aero, round, and square bars. Generally, you can measure the inner length of your bars from tower to tower and select a size down from the selection length Windshield we have.

**Q: What is the difference between the Windshield and the old fairing?**
A: From the best I can tell (having never owned the fairing), the old version is only compatible w/ round bars.  The WindShield attaches nicely to my JetStream bars...honestly, it would probably work w/ any factory or aftermarket rack.

**Q: what size would i need for a tesla model 3?**
A: The 52” size but it doesn’t fit right with the factory bars. The outer feet of the fairing doesn’t make contact with the windshield. There need to be a way to adjust the length of the brackets like the older style I have for the round bars
