Worked perfectly for my stock car racks.

Super friendly, courteous, and helpful staff!

Product was correct and arrived on time. I do think that the shipping charge was a little high, but otherwise good business to work with.

Perfect fit to adapt to my SUV

This part allowed me to adapt my previous Thule accessories to work on VW Branded Roof Bars.

Perfect length for the new Thuly thicker cross bars.
by: Chris S Audi Fan09/28/2020
Adapter works perfectly on 2020 Audi Q5 (VW) But didn’t need all the xtra hardware for Thule Big Mouth bike rack. (Ca 2003) . 3 of the short bolts per unit did the trick and of course the rubber inlays to prevent scratching and rattling are perfect.
by: Brandon05/26/2016
I used the XADAPT2 kit to convert my Thule Bigmouth bike carriers to fit the OEM Volkswagen cross bars on my 2016 Jetta sedan. The bike carriers originally had clamps to fit the Thule square cross bars, and this kit allowed me to convert the carriers to fit in the T-slots of the VW cross bars. The kit was originally designed for older VWs, but the T-slot dimensions have not changed for the modern VW cross bars. I would venture to guess that the kit should work for the OEM cross bars of any modern VW rather than just the Jetta, since the VW bike carriers are not model specific. A great quality kit, and perfect for my application!

Exactly what I needed! The service and shipping was superb. Highly recommend using etrailer!

I used this to fit an old (1994) Thule Big Mouth bike rack to a factory 1994 VW Jetta Votex roof rack. The bike rack was originally fitted to a Thule square tube rack. Fits perfect, but has many extra parts. The only parts that were needed my me were 3 square plastic tabs and 3 of the "T" bolts, so there are many left overs, but for the price I don't think I can complain much. I'm glad the kit was available.
Instructions were pretty useless.
by: Ota06/19/2018
Very good quality product with a little problem. Track is connected to a bracket by one bolt and the bolt was getting loose. I had to buy a little bit longer bolt, use a spring washer and washer, problem solved. See picture. Assembly instructions could be better.

Used to mount a bike carrier onto my 2020 Tesla Model Y roof rails. The carrier was an older Mini-branded model and had bolts with heads that were too wide for the Tesla roof rail tracks. These adapters did the trick.

It is as advertised. Enabled me to put my hull-a-port onto a new car with a thicker rack
by: Jeff J.07/20/2015
Well, if you rely strictly on the Thule instructions, you're in for a real treat. I would actually claim it would be nearly impossible to install your 599XTR on aerobars using just those instructions. I ended up looking up some accompanying videos online to assist with my conceptualization of the install process. Once I figured it out, it was VERY easy to install the adapter kit and the 599XTR Wide Mouths. Nice engineering.
by: Don C09/09/2017
Hats off to etrailer for carrying and timely delivery to get parts for things I need. I had these bicycle racks for a while and lost two of the adapters in a move. I couldn't even figure out how to get them from the dealer / manufacturer, but with etrailer it was easy. They are my "go to" source for parts when it comes to trailers parts and accessories.
Thanks!

I purchased the THXADAPT3 to be able to install my Thule 834 hull a port kayak rack onto the 1.5" square bar of my Adarac Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Steel with Aluminum Crossbars.
I believe it will work but I wish the bolts were a bit longer. See images.
I have been satisfied with etrailer's support and service.
Thanks

The XADAPT2 works as designed. I ordered one to install a 1994-era Thule 599 Upright Bike Carrier (predates the 599xt and 599xtr Big Mouth carriers) onto my new Thule Aeroblade load bars. Earlier, I installed the Aeroblade load bars and 480R Rapid Traverse Foot Pack onto my car, so now those adjustments were already made. Later I took the bars off the car until I was ready to try the upright installation.
I placed the bars with foot packs across a couple of wooden chairs in sawhorse fashion, which was much better than working on the floor. I printed the XADAPT2 instructions from the Thule website, laid out all my parts, and went to work.
The XADAPT2 contains everything you need. Fortunately, the Thule mounting plates have stayed basically the same since the original 599 upright. The cam handle (lever) that came with the XADAPT2 is slightly different from my originals and actually easier to clamp down. You don't have make full 360 degree turns as you seek the right clamping pressure like the earlier design. This is especially helpful because the XADAPT2 spacers add enough shim height that the clamp is either too tight or too loose. With the 180 degree turns you can get the right amount of clamping force without risking damage to the Aeroblade bars. I like this newer style lever so much that I was able to order some to use on the front plate.

These thule adapters work amazing and allowed me to attached my Criterium bike carrier to my Rhino Rack aero bars. I was afraid i would have to return the bike carriers but these adapters saved me and were very low cost. Totally worth it.
by: MK08/14/2017
I used the adapter to fit a Thule Peloton bike carrier (previously used with square Thule load bars) to the factory roof rack on our Mini Clubman. The adapter works out well in this application; the only thing to note is that re-using the round-head bolts that came with the Peloton carrier with the thick vinyl-coated bracket in this adapter kit results in VERY little room to fit the nuts that hold the bracket on -- it just about works, and seems to do so safely, but it is a very tight fit.
by: Donald05/30/2019
I used this adapter kit to mount Thule SUP Taxi to my Thule TracRac - TracOne racks. The original SUP Taxi mount-straps were not long to fit these racks, even though the buyers guide indicates they are. This adapter kit made it possible to secure the SUP taxi right to the bar. So glad you had this available! Now I'm ready for our trip to the FL Keys!
by: RSK07/19/2016
The Thule Bike Rack Adaptor to go from square bars to aero cross bars was an easy purchase. Otherwise, I would have had to two new bike racks. It saved me a lot of money! etrailer.com was a great place to buy the needed parts, and they were quick with shipping them to me. I watched their video on the installation, and within an hour, both racks were installed and ready to go. Thanks etrailer.com for easy transaction.

- How To Use Thule FlatTop Ski Carrier with Thule Evo WingBar CrossbarsThe Thule Xadapt7 Xsporter Load Bar Adapter for Ski Racks part # THXADAPT7 is our best option for reusing a Thule Flat-Top Ski Carrier 91725B with taller crossbars like the Thule WingBar. These are 2" tall.
view full answer... - Will the Thule Circuit XT Fit My Factory Crossbars on My 2020 Subaru Forester?I confirmed with my contact at Thule that the discontinued Thule Circuit XT Fork Mount Carrier Bike Rack will fit on your Subaru Forester 2020 Aero Crossbars if the thickness of the crossbars measures at or less than 1-1/4 inches. As far as the height of the crossbars, the Thule Circuit XT fits most styles of crossbar heights. However, if you are concerned about the crossbar height on your 2020 Subaru Forester, you can purchase longer bolts with Thule Adapter Kit # THXADAPT7.
view full answer... - Will I need Thule Xadapt Part THXADAPT7 for the Factory Rack on my 2000 Subaru LegacyAs long as the cross bars on your factory rack are not wider than 2-3/4 inches and are not more than 1 inch thick, the rack should bolt on fine. The adapter you were looking at is for a certain type of Thule adjustable cross bars.

- Solution for Installing Thule 726 Ski Rack on Larger Roof Rack Crossbars I may have a solution for you, however the Thule Fat Mouth Bar adapters are no longer available from the manufacturer. If you are just needing to adapt your existing Thule Ski Rack to mount onto larger crossbars, I recommend adding the Thule Xadapt7 Xsporter Load Bar Adapter # THXADAPT7. This adapter is confirmed to work with the model 726 Ski Rack that you have and will allow it to mount to your larger roof rack crossbars.
view full answer... - Is Thule Ski Carrier Thule 91725 Compatible With Thule Xsporter Ladder RackYes, the Thule Ski Carrier 91725 is compatible with the Xsporter rack, but it requires an adapter to fit the larger crossbars. So what you need is the following: - Thule Xadapt7 Xsporter Load Bar Adapter for Ski Racks # THXADAPT7
view full answer... - Will the Thule Flat Top Ski Carrier 724 Work On Volvo CrossbarsThe Thule Flat Top Ski Carrier 724 works with crossbars up to 1-1/8" tall x 3-3/4" wide. I don't have any specs on the factory Volvo crossbars but if they meet these guidelines then it will fit. If the factory Volvo crossbars are over 1-1/8" which is rather likely then you can purchase the Thule Xadapt7 Xsporter Load Bar Adapter for Ski Racks part # THXADAPT7. In summary, the Thule Flat Top Ski Carrier 724 should work with factory crossbars no problem if you get the Thule Xadapt7 Xsporter...

If your factory cross bars on your 2017 BMW 328 are taller than 1-1/8" you will need the Thule Xadapt7 # THXADAPT7.

Unfortunately, from the pictures alone, he could not identify the specific rack. However, he did say that the Mounting Kit for Thule Flat Top Rooftop Ski and Snowboard Racks # 7533998 works for most older Thule ski/snowboard carriers when trying to apply to factory or aftermarket crossbars. It is important to note that these mounting clamps will only fit crossbars up to 3-3/4 inches wide....

- Compatibiity of Thule Ski Carrier TH91726 with Short Roof Adapter # TH477The Thule Xadapt7 Xsporter Load Bar Adapter for Ski Racks # THXADAPT7 is compatible with their TH91726 ski rack for mounting it on Thule Xsporter height-adjustable load bars. It will work fine with the Short Roof Adapter # TH477. I confirmed this with my contact at Thule.

However, that doesn't mean the hardware to connect your Thule products will not work anyway. But you'll want to measure to make sure first. I went out and measured the adapters that are made for your Criterium which are # XADAPT8. The head is 3/4 inch square and 1/8 inch thick. The shaft of the long bolt is 2-3/8 inches long and the shaft of the short bolt is 1-3/8 inches long. See the picture I've...

- Will The Thule SnowPack Ski and Snowboard Carrier Fit Factory Crossbars On 2005 GMC Envoy Denali? Yes, the Thule SnowPack Ski and Snowboard Carrier # TH7326 will fit on the factory crossbars for your 2005 GMC Envoy Denali. You will need the longer screws included with the Xadapt7 # THXADAPT7 to fit the height of your factory cross bars.
view full answer... - Will the Thule Flat Top Ski and Snowboard Carrier fit Factory Crossbars on a 2004 Hummer H2According to the Thule Fit Guide, the Thlue Flat Top Ski and Snowboard Carrier, part # TH7326 should fit just fine onto the factory cross bars. I have added a link to the installation instructions below. If your cross bars measure 2 inches by 4 inches, the THXADAPT7 bolt kit will probably be needed.

The part you need to transfer the carrier is the Mounting Kit for Thule Flat Top Rooftop Ski and Snowboard Racks 725 # 7533998. It is important to note that these will only fit on crossbars up to 3-3/4 inches wide. I recommend measuring your crossbars to make sure they fit within these dimensions. If you discover you have...

According to what you sent in it looks like you have one of the discontinued Thule Flat Top (TH91724 or TH91725) or Pull Top (TH91726) carriers. These came with universal mounting hardware as well as an adapter for the square bars which it sounds like that's what you were using. You can try upgrading the mounting to the Replacement 20 mm SpeedLink # 7521241002 but you may need to modify the carrier since this mounting kit wasn't designed for...

- Adapter for Thule Flat Top Ski Carrier TH91725 On 2019 Subaru Outback Factory Roof RackI can completely understand not wanting to get a whole new ski rack, and while there isn't a conversion kit for a Thule Flat Top Ski Carrier TH91725, we may have the part you are referencing. The Thule Xadapt7 Xsporter Load Bar Adapter for Ski Racks # THXADAPT7 are a fit for this carrier and are longer bolts which are designed to work on roof racks with bars that have thicker crossbars. These bolts will replace the standard bolts that make the Flat Top carrier fit. If that adapter is...

For the Thule AirScreen XT Fairing # TH82WV it simply clips around bars and is a universal fit, so there should be no issue there. The Thule Flat Top was replaced by the Thule SnowPack Ski and Snowboard Carrier # TH7324, so when you're ready to upgrade, these are the ones to upgrade to.

If you have the older PullTop Deluxe (Made between 2000 and 2006), or Flat Top (made between 1996 and 2006), you'll want part # 853-2156. These are easily identifiable as they have either a square clamp-on box or no attached parts on the bottom of the carrier. If you're missing the carriage bolt, you'll need part # 915-0650-54 to replace it. You can also convert this kit to a Universal Mount with the required parts for newer, post 2006...
