This yakima roof rack fairing worked just as everyone said it would. I have an acura tsx and the fairing helped reduce the howling noise to a minimum. It was close to intolerable without it on. A must purchase for anyone with a roof rack.

The fairing has made a difference. Without the Fairing the howling from the rack was loud enough to interupt conversations. Simple to install and clear instructions.

I like the appearance and quality of the fairing but it does not fit on racks that have the rail-type bike holders that extend over the front and rear crossbars. The brackets that attach the fairing to the crossbar are too short for that type of rack. I found I could not use it once I put it together and can’t return it because it won’t fit back in the box.

Without this, your roof rack will create a great deal of turbulence and wind noise. Works perfectly and couldn’t be easier to install.

It is very effective as a noise eliminator but rather expensive for a strip of plastic. The mounting clamps can interfere with the mounting clamps of the other devices for bike mounts, etc. I would consider fabricating one myself for the price.
