Review on πŸš— Optimized Rhino Rack Wind Fairing, 38-Inch by Zane Myers

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not the best solution for curved roof cars, very loud vibrations

Let me say up front that I really wanted to love this Rhino product. I just bought the complete Rhino roof rack kit (which I love) for my 2013 Hyundai Sonata and this panel was to be the final piece to complete the look of my car and improve fuel economy while reducing wind noise. My problem with this was that no matter how I installed it and tried to fit snugly to my front handlebars, only the two center rubber pads were touching the roof and the two outer rubber pads only sat the slightest gap on my roof. This clearance was enough to cause excessive rattling and vibration caused by wind pushing against the fairing and rubber pads making contact with the roof. I think the reason for this is that my roof is quite curved front to back and side to side which means the center rubbers sit on the roof but the sides don't due to the slope of the roofline. This might work for some cars, but for my car and for the high price you pay, it wasn't a good solution for me.

Pros
