Today we're taking a look at the Thule SquareBar Crossbar. These come in a quantity of two, and they're available in four different lengths, 43 inches, 47 inches, 53 inches and 60 inches. Now the SquareBar's going to be a more rugged look for your roof rack. It's not going to have as sleek of a design as a WingBar might, but a lot of people do like the more rugged, outdoorsy look. As you can see, we got our bike and our kayak loaded up, ready to head off on our trip.The Crossbars, when combined with the Evo clamp feet and the fit kit for your specific vehicle, it's going to be able to build you a full aftermarket roof rack.The bars are constructed out of a heavy duty galvanized steel, so it's going to be very durable and rust proof, plus the polymer coating that you can see right here is going to help provide better grip for your rooftop accessories.Now, what's cool is that Thule has re-designed how they grip the square crossbar. On their old system, they had a podium foot pack, which was separate from the other foot packs, and they gripped the square crossbar around the top right here.
There was a little slot that went through it. But over time, that could cause more wear and tear on the polymer coating of your crossbar and just makes it more difficult to install the more you use it.What they've done with this Evo foot pack is on the square crossbar, they have a slot underneath right here and actually I have another square crossbar that you can actually see it now, we can see this slot right here, where the Evo foot pack's going to fit through and you can see that there's a lot of markings that give you measurements, so you can accurately space your Evo feet without using a tape measure.Now, on our vehicle right here, we have the 53 inch SquareBars. However, if you find that you want a longer crossbar, you want to have more crossbar overhang to work with, maybe you want to put a bike rack on the outside of your Evo feet, you can upgrade to the 60 inch. But you want to keep in mind that your crossbar overhang cannot extend past your side mirrors.Now, the heavy duty construction is going to take the weight capacity for this up a little higher than your WingBar roof rack. We're going to come in at 220 pounds as a weight capacity for these SquareBars, but you always want to make sure you double check your vehicle's owners manual to make sure that the roof can handle that weight.Now, for whatever length crossbar you decide to get, they're all going to have the same width and height.
They're going to be 1-1/4 inches wide by 7/8 of an inch tall.Now, with anything you put on your roof, you're going to have some wind noise and drag. But with a SquareBar system, you might have a little bit more of that when compared to the Thule WingBar system, which has the aero crossbars. Now you can minimalize your wind noise and drag with this roof rack system, by purchasing a Thule AirScreen Fairing that goes on the front crossbar, and it's basically going to divert the wind to make it come up and over both crossbars.With all that being said, that's going to do it for our look at Thule's line of SquareBar Crossbars.

SquareBar Evo crossbars attach to Thule feet to create a durable, reliable roof rack for your vehicle. Bars are constructed of galvanized steel with a polymer coating that provides grip for your cargo. Accommodate accessories that clamp around bars.I'm using these Thule Evo Fixpoint Feet #710701 in conjunction with the FitKit #87003 to mount my DropRack XL to the rooftop of my 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Eventually I'll get a Thule Rooftop Cargo Box to transport our RV camping supplies for which we don't have enough room in the Jeep or our Aliner RV camper. For now, I'm also using the setup to transport 4' x 8' plywood sheets for a DIY home project. This is the perfect solution for a multi-use application that'll enable us to accomplish more projects around the house as well as on the road.
Install was pretty straight forward. I did have to drill holes on the roof gutters for the fixed point bolts (2024 Mazda 3 5dr). Shipping was delayed by a month but it was not due to etrailers fault.
Got exactly what I needed! Perfect fit on the 2024 Q7.
I feel that the service I've received from e-trailer was superb. They made excellent suggestions and I'm looking forward to getting the new rack installed ... again, with their video help!!
Fairly easy to install. We use these with the Thule basket.
Fit my 2015 Kia Sorento perfectly
Easy to install and hold crossbars very securely.
Product arrived quickly. Easy to install. Works as expected.
Great option with thule gutter feet for Suzuki Samurai.
This was the best price I found for the roof rack. My order arrived with a torn box which was UPS's fault so I was missing the end caps for the bars. When I called in a very friendly agent helped me and sent me the replacement caps free of charge and kept in contact with me until I received them. I will definitely buy from here again.
I really wish I had paid more money for more aerodynamic crossbars. These are extremely noisy and have made a noticeable difference to my gas mileage.
I would have appreciated being informed that the Thule Wingbars were not in stock!
Easy and quick to install, very durable too. 10/10!
Everything was Great
The rack was affordable and easy to install. It arrived before the estimated delivery date. Has been great to be able to tote my boat around.
Fantastic product but more than that, we got it in a couple of days. Couldn’t be happier and will purchase more from them again.
Package was broken,parts missing
One came with slight defect and they replaced it but that one also has a small nick in the cover of the metal. its not that important but it's expensive and who wants that?
Nice and sturdy with a black finish, slight complaint is the noise but that is expected.
Bar looked great but one of them was slightly damaged
I called e trailer and they sent me another one
Excellent customer service
Fast shipping, arrived in good conditio n.
Worked well. Had to have a longer crossbar and these worked well
The Thule SquareBar Evo Crossbars, Rapid Traverse Feet, and Fit Kit for the Roof Rack Feet were all promptly shipped and delivered within three days of the order. I had them all assembled and installed on my Ford Focus in less than an hour.
These fit my Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2017 2.0T with panoramic sunroof with plenty of space to open the sunroof!
Great system, looks good on my Forester and easy to install.
