Good job! I'm ordering the new one now.

Thank you so much for all the helps.

I can order there if anyone needs them. 48" will over hang anyways. 44" is correct size for S70/850. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Thule-872XT-44-Roof-Rack-Fairing-/370567079413?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item564784e5f5 that shows the newer style one. They tend to hold up better, at least here in FL.

My 48" overhangs maybe a very small fraction of an inch on either side. If that. I liked the wider one myself because it extends to exactly edge of the roof which is why I went with it. Mine is also a Yakima.

The 44" should sit just inside of the rain diverters or right on top them. Looking forward to seeing it mounted. Cheers.

But the fairing being wider than it needs to be just makes extra noise. Cargo will not be loaded out to the edges.

Im Sure 99% of them people here just have them for looks and will never put anything on them.

I have them, and I never will put anything on them, they just look awesome. haha

I do not even know what to say to that..... I just pray that you are wrong and people are using these.
