What the fuck it that thing on the right,....
it says 'Thule' so it must be something roofie..

but how is it installed?
what does it do?

It probably isn't what I think it is.. a sun-band to be installed 'truck-wise' on the outside of the windscreen...

And yes, the rest of the shit is wide body parts for an A1

Looks like a "caravan-spoiler", or how you want to call it. A huge spoiler, that you place on the roof of your car when your car is pulling a caravan, for a better air-flow (or something like that :D )

But it's not big enough for that..

I see now it's bolted to the first 'roof-rack',.. but still: what function could it have: If you put only 1 bag on the rack,..

oh wait.. I must be stupid (don't agree on me with that: agree-ing with me would make you a retard to!) to not see it: It keeps the wind away from under your luggage/bags.. totally cool.

It's pretty good for reducing wind howl and buffeting. When you take it off and have your sunroof open, sometimes the roof rack whistles at a nasty pitch.

especially around 140 km/h (about 90 miles),. they resonate.... so I took them off..

Oh, and yes, I didn't take them off directly after use since I'm a lazy fuck ;) (and yes, I did use the roofrack for a genuine purpose... transported a large ladder and other stuff)..

Hell, where's my story going..

Anyone can come up with a name for such a spoiler? Since 'Spoiler + Thule' doesn't make my e-bay go 'ippy!'

I think the official term is Thule Fairing :wink:

They still sell it as '555 Spoiler'.

Rob has one, remember? It's not *that* huge.
