Thule fairing

I was wondering if anyone was able to put the Thule fairing on the OEM roof rack. I know the OEM roof rack is made by Thule and it is very similar to the aero bars. The OEM roof rack is a little bit bigger then the aero and I was wondering if anyone was able to mod the fairing to fit the bigger bar. If so can you point me in the right direction to make it work.

Thanks
Jeff

I just went to Lowes and bought some washers to make it work. I used some glue to attach it to the bolt, and it works fine... I can take it off when I want to, and not worry about a bunch of separate parts.

I've used tie wraps in the past to fasten my thule fairing to both BMW and VW oe racks.

Actually would part I in the diagram fit the oe rack?
