Thule WingBar Edge Crossbars - Silver - Qty 2:Videos are provided as a guide only. Refer to manufacturer installation instructions and specs for complete information.
Hey everyone, it's Evangeline, and today, we're taking a look at the Thule WingBar Edge Crossbars. These are gonna be some heavy-duty crossbars that are also a little bit more low-profile, so we'll talk about that, those features, and how they work with the rest of the Thule roof rack systems. So there's a Thule WingBar Evo and there's a Thule WingBar Edge. So the main difference between the two is one gives you overhang and the other does not. So if you want a sleek, streamlined, and some people think factory look, that's where the Thule WingBar Edge can come in handy. If you want more crossbar space and you have the Evo clamps, that's when you would use the Thule WingBar Evo.
So they're very similar in shape, but very different in functionality. So there's a range of different crossbar sizes, so you can range from your smaller crossbars to your longer crossbars, and you can even have different sizes on your car. So for example, we have the 37 inch here, we have the 41 inch up front, and that's why it's very important to use our fit guide here at etrailer.com where we find the right fit for you and your car. So these are made of aluminum, they're very solid, and I know some crossbars, when they are made of thinner material, they tend to bow in the middle. This, I do not see that ever happening, but for your actual weight capacity, you are limited to what type of system you have on your car and not so much by the bars.
This is available in different colors, so you have black, which is what I have here, and we also have silver. So this has a black powder coat finish, so even as you scratch at it, when you get cargo on there, of course, in extreme situations you can scratch it up, but it should maintain its finish in most situations. If you do see scratches, I recommend going over it with a paint pen, so it maintains its corrosion resistance. It's shaped to be more aerodynamic, so it's tapered in the back and it's taller up front, so that way, it will help guide the wind up and over or around your bars. So this means, compared to your traditional round and square crossbars, definitely less noisy, less wind drag when you're going down on it, especially at highway speeds.
So these are what your crossbars look like when they're not on your car. So the WingBar Edge has a different design from the WingBar Evo, they're slightly different in terms of shape, and a quick look on the inside when you take out the weather strip, shows the little tab for your Edge towers. So when you get your crossbar, you're gonna get these weather strips, so these are gonna cover your T-track channel, but also, help move the air over. So you're gonna take them apart, and then you're just gonna push them into your crossbar, and this is gonna be the way that they're facing. So your weather stripping splits apart in the middle, so that you can slide your T-track accessories through it.
I personally think it's a little tricky to get it through the first part, but once it slides through, it does it very easily. The size of the WingBar is 3 inches and 1/8 inch wide and one inch tall. So most of your accessories will fit around this, just make sure for your older accessories, they may not be used to the modern aero design. So my thoughts on the Thule WingBar Edge Crossbars is, the first step, make sure you have the right system, if you use our fit guide, you'll find the right fit for you and the right kit all packed together. Also, with the Thule WingBar Edge, they are designed to be used with Edge products, so make sure whether it's the Edge raised rail, Edge clamp, Edge flush feet, those are the ones you use with this crossbar. So with all that being said, there's solid, they're sturdy, they are on the bit more premium side, so if you're a big fan of Thule and you like Thule products, definitely fits in there. If you're looking for alternatives, we also have alternatives here at etrailer that are solid choices. And that was a look at the Thule WingBar Edge Crossbars here at etrailer..

Once we got it correctly installed it stayed firm. We only have occasion to use it once a year for an annual trip. Although I think it reduces gas mileage, it's too much trouble to take down and put back up. It works fine to hold extra baggage.
Been a month haven’t received them yet they are in stock but guess we are waiting for one item which it’s in stock date gets pushed back every day. And the company doesn’t let the customer know the date changes or when they will send it.
The website was super helpful in finding exactly what we needed for our car model.
This "fit kit" from THULE does not impress me much. It does not sit flush with the roof rails of my 2021 Toyota highlander, doesn't really line up with the openings on the flush mount rails, and only attaches to the vehicle via one bolt at each of the 4 mounting locations. In that sense it's inferior to even the OEM toyota roof rack mount.
Great solution for the naked roof on my 2011 Porsche Cayenne S
One year in, this fit kit and the whole system have worked very well on my Kia EV6.
I miss the simplicity, in terms of cost as well as installation and removal, of the old Thule rectangular-bar racks, but this system looks better, is quiet, won't sag, and seems more robust.
I am very pleased with the roof rack system I purchased .. The quality is what I expected from Thule equipment.
Customer Service at etrailer is par none, both before the sale and after. I had an unpleasant experience elsewhere buying and installing a roof rack for my old Prius. After a few days of frustrations, I sent it back to that old online store.
This time, I contacted etrailer to see what ALL I needed to install a rack on my new 2018 Honda CRV. They sent me the part numbers and a link to purchase. Viola! After they arrived, I had difficulty with one of the parts (at 69 yo my hands are not too strong or flexible) and contacted etrailer. They sent pictures and more thorough instructions on installing the rubber strip. Another VIOLA!
I'm so very happy with my total experience at etrailer. Customer Service, truly, is not better any where else I have made online or brick-n-mortar purchases.
My Thule roof rack is everything I expected it to be, I’m very pleased. I had a very good experience dealing with etrailer and will definitely do business with them in the future
Very happy with this non-permanent mounting solution. The addition of the bars + ski rack cut my Honda CRV's mileage significantly, so I was happy for the ease that this mounting system allowed for mounting/removing the platform. I would recommend this over a permanent rack.
These themselves seem great and solid - I just don't love the way they look hovering above the fit-kit.
Haven't installed the topper yet but the rails went on fine and look like they'll work. Delivery was fast and packaging was secure.
Thule has always delivered a quality product. etrailer shipment was fast and detailed. etrailer web site product info is comprehensive, the best in the business.
It works OK.
Great product, easy install (take your time do it right), great service from etrailer. Would recommend!
Great product. Will was awesome. Knowledgeable and helpful. Ultra fast shipping. He under promised by saying it could be middle of this coming week to arrive but it got here in one day!
Everything works great!
This worked great on my 2021 Honda CRV. It fit perfectly, was easy to take on and off, and held the racks on like a rock
Perfect fit for my 2018 CRV. Excellent customer service. Love the videos on your site.
It worked as stated. It took a while to arrive because it was back ordered but customer service kept in contact through email. I requested to send part of the order they were more than willing to do that then all the order came. I would buy it again
Etrailer is the only way to go, period! I almost bought on Amaz*n, but comparing the two, realized I would actually get help if needed. Through their website, I was able to get the right "kit" for my car, not realizing they weren't universal. They helped me through it and like many others have said, when they didn't have a component in stock, I was notified and given an upgrade for free. I will definitely come back here for their service and knowledge.
Also, everything I bought came with a youtube link how to install each item.
Very, very pleased!!
Very simple install/removal. Super sturdy and durable, I'm glad I went with this one!
I have to admit, I was a little skeptical that the Thule products I ordered were going to be an off brand replica. Happily, they were factory Thule products and they worked very well. I have had Thule products in the past so I was familiar with how to install them. The Thule designers have really done a great job thinking about how the product should work. etrailer had exactly what I needed and delivered on time. The shipping update page was very detailed and I will definitely be ordering future products from etrailer.com!
Easy to put on and take off. Fits great.
