We can absolutely help you find the parts that you are needing for your Thule Artificial Rain Gutters # TH542.

The correct replacement for your Thule 300 gutter feet are the Rapid Gutter Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH65BJ.

Unfortunately, the load bars you are looking for are no longer available. The longest that we have in the style you mentioned are the Thule SquareBar Evo Crossbars # TH712500 which are 60" long.

There is also an alternate style that is available.
- Thule ProBar Evo Crossbars # TH713600 (69")
- Thule ProBar Evo Crossbars # TH713700 (79")

The Inno bars are more like the load bar style you mentioned. They are available in (71") # IN434 and (79") # IN436L. You would need the Inno Feet for Square Crossbars # INSD. Since the Thule artificial rain gutters are simulating the rain gutters that would come factory, the Inno feet should attach without issue.
