Thule Wind Diffuser

- it's basically a finned rubber insert fo the T-Slot... wondering if it works in the Q5 bar

Thule Fairing
- http://www.thule.com/en-US/US/Produc...airing-44-inch
- I'm wondering if this can attach to the crossbars that Audi provides

I've also seen a fairing made by Inno.
I just ordered the Thule diffuser strip $7 each. We'll see if it fits the OEM crossbar and resolve the wind noise issue.
