Pros

Yakima wind fairing works fine and feels very secure. Works great on my tesla model y oem roof rack. I have a 2012 subaru impreza with the oem fixed cross bars and it fits well.

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. Mounts easily and securely. These attach with a strap that is ratcheted tight, so i... Read More

It fit perfectly. No noise and looks great on my outlander. Looks great and drastically if not totally cuts down the wind noise. The 46 length is just about perfect as it basically goes the entire width of the car.

Cons

At 30mph driving speed, it's a loud and obnoxious constant tone. Yakima gets me this time -- because it's too big a hassle to change now.

The mounts themselves are clearly designed for the aero style bars and do not sit flush with yakima rounds despite advertised being compatible with square and round bars. All in all, this is an extremely overpriced piece of poly carbonate that offer z... Read More

Quality

Fits perfect, install was easy, works well with the system i already have, and will hopefully help to reduce noise and increase my mpg.

Quality of the product is exceptional and i would purchase again if i could.

I ended up buying this wind deflector after i chose to build my own, but realized it was not worth the time and trouble of sour... Read More

The straps are a nylon "aircraft" style "hose" clamp.

Price

Installation was indubitably refreshing as opposed to the $50 piece of *sugar* i got off of ebay.

So i gambled and purchased this item because my aftermarket roof rack was making an a whistling sound and it paid dividends!

I luckily got this used at a very good price, if not the regular price would is not worth it.

I paid $101, but i do see that now it has gone up almost $40 in price since i bought mine.

Shipping

Shipping was fast, i received my order less than 5 days after i put my order in.

Packaging/appearance

It looks nice and i’ve gotten some nice compliments!

Looks nice and stops the whistling issue that i was having.

The only thing i did not like was that one of the clips came damaged with a crack in it.

Competitiveness

Plus yakima is universal so it works across multiple brands.

) looks better and less expensive than thule.

I tested out another brand name roof rack from home to work and that rack did not perform as well as this yakima.

I compared the length and i am planning to buy the 46” for my x5 at a later point.
