Thule Wingbar Evo vs. Aerobade Load Bars for 2022 Toyota RAV4 with Flush Rails
Question:
I have some aeroblades on my 2015 audi allroad with sunroof. The bike carrier fork mount and kayak cradles Hull-a-Port both make use of the aeroblade T-slot for purposes of attachment. Would I be able to use the bike carrier and Hull-a-Port along on the Wingbar Pro Evo? Also, would I be able to put this on a 2022 Rav4 with low-profile roof rails, which I assume means they are not raised off the roof in any way. If so, what towers would be recommended? Would there be enough space to open a sunroof?

Expert Reply:
Yes, the Thule Wingbar Evo crossbars can be used with T-slot style roof attachments. The Wingbars have a T-slot on the top of them with the advantage being that you don't have to cut the slots on the top of the channel to fit the accessories into the channel as it has a rubber piece that you push down instead which is easier to deal with.
To install a Wingbar rack on a 2022 Toyota RAV4 with flush rails you'd need the following components:
# TH33RE, # TH29SC, and # TH78RE,
