Eliminated my whistling wind noise
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.

Best fairing out there.
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.

Great wind fairing for 2014 WRX
The medium Inno wind fairing fits perfectly on my 2014 Subaru WRX with the Subaru OEM crossbars. The installation was easy. It reduces wind noise on the highway. It is well built and sturdy. The value for the money is great. Definitely recommend this wind fairing if you have a 08-14 WRX, and would recommend it for any car!

and it looks cool. Functionally
I bought this because it fits the width of my car perfectly, and it looks cool. Functionally....well, it works. It's not the most elegant design in terms of how it attaches to your car, but it works. Inno makes this as universal as possible, and that's sort of the problem - when you try to do everything, you end up not doing any ONE thing really well. I have these attached to Whispbar crossbars (which don't NEED a faring, but I prefer the look with the faring in place), and they attach fine but the attachment mechanism is big and bulky, and it can start to interfere with your other rack components as they all compete for space on your crossbars. Previously I have had a Yakima faring, and that one was much more sleek in terms of how it attached.Another issue with this is that some of the bolts have come loose over time. I suppose that's to be expected when something is constantly being jostled around, and it could probably be resolved with some Loctite thread fastener, but I've had other farings in the past that did not have this problem.Overall, I would buy this again, faults and all. It works well, looks nice, and does what it's supposed to.

Eliminated the noise
I have a tiny Nissan Versa Note SV and installed Innu luggage bars on the top. Prior to this car I had an old Subaru and kayaks, etc. - and also, this car is tiny and for road trips I might need to make use of of roof space.I had my dad help me install the roof racks and then made the five hour drive home - I didn't notice any mileage issues after installing the racks but my god the noise after adding them... WHOOOOOOO!!!!! it was loud and awful, so I did some research and discovered that fairings exist for this purpose.Like I said, I have a tiny car, but when I measured it, it said to buy this size - though this size is recommended for SUVs. It fits perfectly tho. Buy by measurement not by description.PROBLEM: the freeway noise WHOOOOO is gone, which is great - speed of air flow keeps this in position. Unfortunately when driving locally at around 35-45mph, the fairing sometimes rattles a bit, mostly when coming to a stop. I haven't found a way to fix this but it's not all the time and way better than the loud WHOOOOO so I'll live.
