I am putting together a snowboard roof rack setup, with the 12v Mighty Mounts and Big Powderderhound parts from Yakima (as recommended in other posts). Does anyone know if there is a way to attach a fairing (wind deflector) to the factory crossbars. I'm assuming that once everything's on, I'll have a whistle and I also like the look of the fairing. If anyone knows it can be done or has any pics of it finished, let me know.

I'm sure there's a way but nothing I've put up there (bikes, cargo box, 2 12 ft kyaks, Xmas trees, building supplies, kids-j/k, surfboards, etc) has ever whistled. Even at 80 mph or more.

i had the fatcat 6 on my p5 last winter, and it was great. no windshield, and no whistling that i could hear from inside the car. awesome product until the top hinged half broke off the car when i was driving at about 40 mph. freak accident, doesnt seem to be the norm, but yakima still hasnt helped me out in any way.
