Provided in strips that can be cut to fit around rack accessories, the textured WindDiffuser surface sits on the top-oriented T-slot cover of the AeroBlade load bars and disturbs the airflow better than a smooth surface, greatly reducing wing noise. WindDiffuser, a textured surface with raised angled “vectors”, disrupts, redirects and promotes clean air release – significantly reducing wind noise and drag.
