INNO INA261 Medium Universal Mount (Fits Rounds, Square, Aero and Most Factory Bars) Fairing for Mid-Size Cars and SUV's - 40-Inch (Black)

Works great for me. Nearly fully eliminated wind noise from my newly installed crossbars and bike rack. Install was pretty easy. I ordered the 40 inch Medium size for my 2012 Hyundai Accent SE hatchback and it's the perfect length across my roof. I used it with ROLA 59707 crossbars and Thule Criterium 598 bike rack. Here's my review of those ROLA crossbars along with some other product links and information that maybe someone will find useful. I put ROLA 59707 crossbars on my 2012 Hyundai Accent SE hatchback with intentions of fitting a bike rack. I’m happy with how it all turned out. I will break this review into three parts. 1) ROLA crossbars by themselves: ROLA 59707 Hyundai Accent 5-Door Hatchback Cross Bar With no bike rack or wind fairing installed, the ROLA crossbars do have a slight wind humming sound. I am a very particular person and did not find this very bothersome. It is not a whistle, just a minimal wind hum that isn't that loud or annoying. Skip to the end for a summary of the ROLA bars themselves. 2) ROLA crossbars + Thule 598 Criterium bicycle roof rack: Thule 598 Criterium Upright Rooftop Bicycle Carrier Because of the larger size and shape of these ROLA crossbars compared to Thule crossbars, the Thule bike rack does not fit onto the crossbars with the hardware that’s included. The U-shaped clamp of the Thule bike rack is too small to fit around the crossbars. Therefore, you will have to buy the "Thule XADAPT8 X Adapter Kit" Thule XADAPT8 X Adapter 8 . This allows the Thule bike rack to be mounted within the channels that run along the top of the ROLA crossbars. It's easier than it sounds to put all this together. Just make sure you buy that adapter kit and you'll be set. As far as wind noise with the Thule bike rack installed *without* a wind fairing, it's bad. Really bad. There is an incredibly loud whistle, which is mostly fixed by putting on a wind fairing. See the next paragraph. 3) ROLA crossbars + Thule 598 Criterium bicycle roof rack + Inno Wind Faring (size medium / 40 inches): Inno Fairing This is the last thing you'll need if you're putting a Thule or other brand bike rack on these ROLA crossbars. It mostly eliminated that annoying whistle and there is mostly no wind noise coming from the roof now except for sometimes depending on the wind direction. It usually sounds just like it did before any of this was installed. It installed fairly easily and the sticker does come off. Overall, these ROLA crossbars are fantastic. Installation was extremely fast and easy. Screwing in the supplied bolts was a total breeze (not sure why some reviewers had trouble). Once installed, they feel really sturdy. I would definitely recommend them along with the other products I mentioned. EDIT #1: The Thule bike rack install on the driver’s side (after installing the Thule bike rack on the passenger’s side a few days ago) was really annoying and didn’t match the passenger side exactly in terms of looks because I am using crossbars other than Thule brand along with the XADAPT8 kit (the XADAPT8 kit converts a U-shaped bracket that comes with the Thule 598 bike rack and hugs around your crossbar into something else that slides into the top channel of the crossbar instead). On the Thule 598 bike rack, the big plastic bracket thing with the gray round knob on it would have mounted with an overhang towards the windshield, while the passenger side overhangs towards the trunk side of the crossbar. I did manage to modify the driver's side Thule 598 bike rack with some effort and ingenuity so that they did actually match (not fun at all) and both overhang towards the trunk. But regardless, this is something you should be aware of if you are required to use the XADAPT8 kit. I think even some Thule crossbars require the XADAPT8 kit, so just because you have Thule brand crossbars, don’t think you’re in the clear. IN SUMMARY OF THIS ISSUE: If you are lucky enough to just have square Thule crossbars, you can have two bike racks installed and it appears to me that they will match perfectly with no modifications. If you use the XADAPT8 kit, having two Thule 598 Criterium bike racks mounted will not perfectly match each other unless you permanently modify one of the racks, or another option would be to mount one bike rack facing the back of the car. But that also doesn’t match and doesn’t really solve anything. EDIT #2: My whole setup does have a very faint whistle depending on what the wind is doing. I will try some things to totally eliminate it, but at this point it is pretty dang quiet and for some reason doesn’t always occur and is intermittent depending on how you’re driving and what the wind is doing. The fairing did help immensely though, but unfortunately didn’t 100% fix the whistle/wind noise.

Well, I've had this for about year. It's seen about 30k miles, and approximately 1 million splattered bugs. I have it on a '24 Impreza RS. It's a pain to clean as it's not totally rigid, and you really got scrub to get it clean. I usually wax and buff it to keep it shiny. The decal has held up, and the hardware shows zero rust or corrosion. I give it a half turn tighten ever couple weeks. Interesting notes, as I drive 100 freeway miles a day. Gas mileage stock ~27mpg. Gas mileage with cross bars ~25.5. With this faring ~26.5. With crossbars and a roof basket ~23.5. With crossbars, faring and roof basket ~24.5. So, it saves approximately 1mpg. That's pretty good actually, and will pay for itself at some point. Wind noise with just crossbars compared to crossbars and the faring isnt much different. But with the basket on, it's considerable. It takes some adjusting to get this faring to line up with the built-in faring on my Tyger basket. But once you get it dialed in, it's a totally noticeable difference. Now, rattle...an entirely different story. My factory system has 7x10 subwoofers in the doors. They thump. This thing rattles from bass. No matter how tight it is. I have to keep my sunshade on my sunroof closed to block some of the noise. Kind of sucks. If you have the roof open in summer, and your music half way up the rattle will drown out the music. You literally have to crank up the radio to drown out the rattle. To sum it up~ It's well made. Looks sharp. Easy to install. Hard to keep clean. Saves gas. Rattles.

I drove my car with a rooftop box on it, and no deflector and immediately heard wind noise, despite all the windows being up even at 35 miles an hour. First of all, it was easy to install. I left my car top box in place although they recommend not doing that. I simply had to slip the middle bracket underneath after loosening the box. The left and right brackets fit just outside my box mounts on the bar. Be sure to measure where your attachments to the bars are and check the width of the bracket locations for the deflector that you are ordering so you know there’s no interference with the brackets. I think in a pinch you might get away with moving the deflector left or right as I don’t know how important it is that be perfectly centered, as long as it still covers your rooftop stuff end to end. . The bracket attachments holes in the deflector are fixed in place so if you decide to move the deflector left or right, you have to move all three brackets equally. I ordered the 48 inch for my 2013 Subaru Legacy sedan because I wanted to deflector to go most of the way across the roof bars to get Maximum result. The ends of the deflector sit just where the roof seam is where it curves down to the door. After installing it, I found all four pads sit touching on the roof. On the road, I noticed an immediate reduction in wind noise. I drove up to 70 miles an hour, and I found whatever wind noise was left was tolerable and certainly could be covered up by a little bit of music. I’ll find out on my 10 hour trip this week to the beach and report back. I can’t figure how anybody could install this and have it create more noise. The noise reduction for me was substantial.

The fairing has been on my car for a couple of month now and I have no complaints. Wind noise reduction is rather dramatic comparing to what it was with factory cross bars for VW golf. Some noise is still noticeable at highway speeds but it's negligible. Strong gusts of side wind on bridges often produce a momentary rattle but nothing major. Fit was not direct since I mistakenly ordered a large fairing, however after checking the fit on the car I realized that a smaller fairing is not likely to repeat the contours of the bars, especially at the base as on my car they flare out a lot. I must have spent no more than 20 min with some tools and masking tape to make the fairing repeat the profile of my car exactly the way I wanted, so my mistake ended up working for me rather well. Plastic fairing was easy to work with and polished back to a factory look after I was done with alterations. One note for those who care about the paint quality underneath the four legs that rest on the roof top is to use some clear tape cut to shape. If left unprotected the dust and sand will accumulate enough to cause abrasions and left unprotected long term may require serious correction. Manufacturer should also take note of this and supply four clear patches, even if optional.

Okay first off, we read a bunch of reviews before we purchased this product. There's a lot of options out there, but not very many for our smaller SUV, a Subaru Crosstrek. The width of it is limited, in that some of the fairings just won't match. This one fits exactly between the two roof rails. We also mounted Yakima kayak carriers, the ones that fold up and down. There's room to install this fairing as well, and it fits perfectly. We had tremendous noise from the Kayak carrier, anything about 50 or 60 miles an hour made a real howling. This fairing removes that completely. It must be said, that there is a bit of wind noise in place of the whistling, but is not anything that bothers us. It completely filled our needs and we are extremely happy with this product. The only complaint that we can possibly raise, we had to find 10 x 6 metric screws that were approximately three-quarters of an inch longer than what was provided. We figured that this is a universal fit Fairing, and this shouldn't match exactly perfectly for all applications. It works admirably for our Subaru, albeit with 4 extra longer screws for the two outside mounts. The center mount was perfect as it came. It actually looks very professional, and complements well the other accessories we have installed.

2020 Chevy Bolt - 40 inch fairing If I could leave a 0 star review, I would. Even after measuring the width, apparently everything has to be EXACTLY right (angles and such) for it to fit. After a VERY difficult installation, I found that the fairing doesn’t fit flush between my bars because I’m short by like half an inch, so I had to return it anyway. As others have stated, you’ll likely need longer bolts to install this. I have very short aero bars and the bolts included were just BARELY enough to get the brackets on, and even then a part of the left and right ones were not on the bar itself but on the edges of the rack brackets. The nuts and their holders are a very poor design and have to be screwed in from the bottom which are difficult to reach even with a stepladder. Some suggestions for the manufacturer: -Charge $1 more and include some longer bolts for the brackets. The included bolts are DEFINITELY too short for 90% of bars. -do some testing with some cars and list which sizes should be used for which cars. -include pictures or diagrams of the proper angles and placements of the fairing itself for it to be effective -I think with my experience with my car, you are missing a width. If I had gone a size down it would have left a large gap on the sides -redesign the bolts/nuts for the brackets and let them screw in from the top instead. I oriented them wrong a few times and they dropped on the roof of my car making minor scratches. -try and figure out a way to give more options for the placement of the brackets attaching the fairing. The existing ones were JUST barely too narrow for the mounting brackets to fit on the bar itself I’m sure that if every condition for fitting were right this would have been fine. But if you DO purchase this I would only do it if you see a review where someone installed it on your exact car.

I have this installed on a 2015 Subaru Crosstrek with the factory aerobars. The medium size fits nicely between the stock uprights, which is nice. The mounts could be a little cleaner looking, but it is what it is. It doesn't sit 100% flush no matter how much I fiddle with it, but it does lay down at speed. It's worth noting that while I can tilt the sunroof open with no problem, I can't open the sunroof at speed without pulling on the legs so keep that in mind. (They have a rubber coating on the bottom that's held on with an adhesive, and it will tear off). You will, unfortunately, need Inno's ridiculously priced long bolt kit to put this on a Crosstrek with the oval aero bars. You do NOT need the long bolts for the center section, but the left and right sides do need it. That bolt kit is $20 and you will use four, yes four, bolts. It's a ridiculous price gouge and I almost knocked off another star for it. All in all I give this 3/5. It doesn't look perfect or sit perfect, but it does the job on the cheap and does work on factory aero bars.

This is mounted on a 2010 Subaru WRX with factory crossbars. First of all, the product quality, ease of fitment, etc. are fine. BTW, my car is charcoal color and I had the bars powdercoated. The whole thing thing looks much better in my opinion. Most people get the medium size, 40" wide for the WRX application. Per many pictures I've seen, this width is flush with the INSIDE of the feet of the factory rack. I wanted it to go to the outside, thereby completely covering and blocking wind hitting the feet, and making a cleaner less cluttered look in my opinion. So I got the large 48" model. This goes probably 1-1.5" past the feet on each side. If you're a perfectionist, you might say that this ruins the lines of the car, and it does so to some degree, as the curvature of the side of the car obviously narrows as you go up. I knew this would be the case and was expecting to cut them down. Once in place however, I think it looks fine and do not plan to make any alterations. I think ideal would be to get the large size and install/measure/mark/cut for perfect fitment. I will attempt to add a photo.
