What Crossbars Are the Most Secure on a 2016 Ford Fusion?
Question:
What are the best crossbars? The previous ones I had would come off if I was on a highway. The wind would actually lift them off and I almost lost my kayaks.

Expert Reply:
I am so sorry to hear about your previous roof rack! For a roof rack system that has a great aerodynamic design and fits securely to your 2016 Ford Fusion with a bare roof, I recommend the following parts:
- Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 53" Long # TH711420
- Evo Clamp Feet for Thule Crossbars - Naked Roofs # TH710501
- Fit Kit for Thule Evo Clamp Roof Rack Feet - 5186 # TH145186
- Thule Same-Key Lock Cylinders # TH450400
The aerodynamic design of the WingBars will give you less wind resistance than squarebar or roundbar crossbars. The bars also includes rubberized vortex strips that attach in the in top channels to dramatically reduce drag and wind noise. These features will make the crossbars more secure on your vehicle even on the highway.
