What is a fairing, and why do I need one?
Not only does a fairing help in reducing noise that comes from driving against the wind, but it also helps with fuel efficiency.
Anything you put on the outside of your vehicle will result in a noticeable amount of noise while driving. You may not recognize it, but even crossbars from a ski rack or an empty roof basket create a barrier against the wind that will make some annoying sound or noise.
Wind deflectors/fairings will help to enhance your vehicles aerodynamics to help cut through the wind while driving, creating less drag. By decreasing your vehicles drag you will increase your mpg's that will help pay for the fairing you're about to purchase.

How to Measure for your Fairing
Where to measure
Measure in between your roof rack rails to get the width of the fairing needed.
If your vehicle doesn't have side rails, measure in between your roof rain gutters.
Large & Medium
Large fairings will fit on vehicles without side rails or between rails 43" or wider.
Medium fairings will fit on vehicles without side rails or between rails 35" or wider.
Small
Small fairings will fit on vehicles without side rails or between rails 34" or less.
