Comments about Thule Fairing:
Fairing went on great to my Volvo S40, once I reversed the recommended setting of the attachment mechanism. The recommended settings clearly had the outer supports be longer than the inner ones causing the fairing to warp awkwardly when mounted (fairing wanted to be concave). I reversed the directions and had the outer attachments be shorter than the two inner ones making a slight convex shape that fit the car nicely. Not sure if that was just my car (instructions not vehicle specific), or just an inconvenient typo.
Now that it is on it works well in reducing wind noise and looks cool to boot.

Comments about Thule Fairing:
I had a Thule aftermarket roof rack installed after my husband and I bought a new car that did not have a factory rack. I liked the rugged look of the Thule rack but the whisling noise was driving me up the wall and I even considered removing the rack. The fairing eliminates the sound and looks sharp. If you are going to buy a Thule rack, the fairing is a must!!!! However, I am typically mechanically inclined, but this did take me much more than 5 minutes to install.

Comments about Thule Fairing:
The lady at the store thought it would be a good idea to buy this to reduce road noise. I ignored her thinking it would be fine. I was wrong, a loud whistling noise happened if I drove faster than 25MPH. Adding the fairing made the noise disappear.The fairing comes in an easy to assemble kit. Pay attention to the mounting bracket position, the position is different between the middle brackets and the two outer ones. (Page 4 step 7 on the 872)The only annoyance is it shows finger prints anywhere you touched it.

Comments about Thule Fairing:
This fairing looks good, but does nothing to reduce wind noise. I have the aero bars and found that the fairing did not help at all with the wind whistle. What did work was using some clear silicone caulk/sealant at the junction of the the bars and base pieces. Let's see [$] vs [$], hmmm.

Comments about Thule Fairing:
The instructions could use some improvement, but if you read through all the steps, it's really quite simple to install. Very rugged (not sure why the fact that it's made of plastic is such a big deal to some people). :)
Once it was installed, I took the car out on the highway. At 70 miles per hour, I didn't hear any noise at all (as opposed to the nerve wrecking whistles I had to deal with before I bought the fairing!).

Besides the sporty look it gives the car rack, wind noise didn't change, gas mileage didn't change, amount of money in my wallet...that changed.

Comments about Thule Fairing:
I use this product with my Thule system and 2 criterion mounts. Great product once it's on but the instructions could be improved upon. The main issue I had is that they shouldn't have used plastic push fasteners for attaching the brackets to the visor. Two of mine broke when being inserted and the only reason I found replacements at the auto store was that they had a discontinued bin. Otherwise, it cuts the noise, but for the price it could have been better made instead of mostly plastic.
