Yakima Fairings

Simple fairing that works very well @ cutting down on the whistling noise when racks are being used.

Wind noise was really bugging me after I installed the Yakima cross bars. I decided to get the 38" fairing that Yakima offered to try and reduce the noise. OMG, what a difference it makes. It's almost non-existent now even at highway speeds. Best investment for that peace of mind. I might try the 32" fairing, as my 38" fairing sits on top of the factory roof rails.

There are two ways to get rid of wind noise from car racks--Get some good speakers and turn up the volume or install a fairing, Yak or Thule on your rack bars. The fairing is also a nice place to put stickers for whatever else you think is cool. The fairing from Yak works as good as the better looking one from Thule. Hey, all they do is direct fast flowing air over the rack bars. Without the bars, fast flowing air howls, screams and whines. (That's where the good speakers come in handy.) It's all simple aerodynamics. Direct the air flow over the round or square thing that is not aerodynamic and things will settle down. Ask the U. S. Air Force. Ask all those aliens that have those flying saucer things. They know.

I love this item. It is true what everyone else is saying about it. But, the coolest thing is that you can put stickers on it(Something I wouldn't do to my car itself.

I am really please with your products, they are top of the line and I will continue looking forward to enjoying your products. The fairing took the whole noise out and it gave my car a new good looking view

Nice item. However, if you have Yakima low-rider mounts on the standard racks for a Toyota FJ Cruiser, the fairing doesn't go down to the roof far enough.

Got these for my 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser. The Yakima racks are sitting on top of the factory racks using Yakima Low Riders and the racks are too high for the fairing.

Fairing is functional and stylish. Definitely recommended for the price.

This fairing attached easily and ELIMINATES the wind noise completely. Well worth the money.

Virtually eliminates any wind noise created by the rack. Stop hearing that annoying sound of wind whistling through the bars and put a fairing up there. Adds some nice style to your setup too.

This fairing is awesome, it stops the whistling in my roof rack. Make sure to measure across your roof to see exactly what size you need, the first one I got was too small. Very easy to install, make sure to tighten it down as much as possible.

So far, the Yakima system I put together from 3 different suppliers has worked just fine. I bought most components from backcountry.com as was pleased with the price. The system is fairly easy to setup and feels sturdy enough to not worry about putting my new Cannondale on. I certainly would purchase this whole setup again.

Looks good and prevents whistling noises, but I reached up through the sunroof at 70mph and it was vibrating like a guitar string! I'm not thrilled about the little pads that ride on the car's finish, but I don't think they will cause any damage.

Like everyone else says, it really cuts down on the noise. It’s super easy to install too. Seems a bit pricey for a piece of plastic, but it's worth it anyway.

Anyone that has ever had Yakima racks knows the howling sound it makes as you get to speeds over 40mph. This allows you to eliminate that all together. I should have purchased this years ago.

SUPER easy install and did exactly as it promised—significantly reduced wind noise. I highly recommend it.

Talk about cutting noise. I was amazed at what this fairing could do to reduce vibration and wind noise. It looks pretty cool too!!!

Great product and great price!

After buying a set of racks, I had a horrible noise coming from the lead rack at 40 to 70 MPH. I bought the Yakima Faring and now it’s whisper quiet. Took 10 minutes to install.

The fairing cuts out road noise. I can't tell the difference in sound when comparing my car with no roof rack versus roof rack w/fairing. Yakima's product is also easy to install. I highly recommend purchasing one if you're going to keep your roof rack on full-time. Definitely worth the money.

Boy, what he said. At 37mph I'd get this horrible vibration, so attached a bike tray to the bars, now it kicks in at about 60. Not good. Last resort was the fairing. How a cheap piece of plastic does it I don't know/care, but no more noise! A $50 remedy I'll take...

I don’t know what it is about my car, but when I’m going over 30 with my rack on top it starts screaming at me like a jumbo jet is gonna land overhead. I didn’t know what to do until one day someone explained that the sticker covered piece of plastic in front of their rack—the fairing—wasn’t just a portable sticker holder. This thing rocks…completely eliminates all the sound that my rack made, and neatly stores all or my stickers for me!
