Racks look great on My SUV. Cant wait to purchase more items from your company! Excellent service!

Love the custom fit

Love them and my Thule aero bars on my WRX



by:

Very pleased with order. Shipped fast, not damaged, all parts accounted for. Easy install, very sturdy, and attractive design. Slight wind noise but that was expected compared to not having a roof rack.



by:

Originally ordered a Yakima system, but availability everywhere was virtually nil. Switched to Thule and ran into some of the same shortages with the supply chain, likely due to Covid. Took about a week to receive and it was the perfect part for my BMW X3.



by:

Great roof cross bars for the Lexus RX450h ! Better and beefier than the OEM cross bars. Yes, these are more expensive (wish they weren't! Locks should be included in the base cost) They are solid and planted the XXL roof carrier with ease. Took a bit to center the roof carrier- so we could open the rear door without crashing into it. Only took a 3 mpg hit with the racks and carrier on the roof (@ +5 mph over speed limit on the highway) I really like the way they look on the vehicle. We're probably going to keep them up for snowboarding season. Keep in mind once they're initially installed- they're a snap to take down as well.I made a mark on the inside on the rails to make reinstalling easier.

I ordered the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Silver - 50" with the Evo Flush Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars - Flush Side Rails and the Fit Kit for Thule Evo Flush Rail and Edge Flush Rail Roof Rack Feet for my 2020 Mazda CX9. I appreciated the product selector to make sure I was getting all the correct parts. I was happy with the products, but I did run into an issue where 1 of the rail feet had a defective bolt which required a replacement. I was very satisfied with etrailer's customer support, and how well they worked with me to get the part replaced quickly.



by:

One year in, this fit kit and the whole system have worked very well on my Kia EV6.

I miss the simplicity, in terms of cost as well as installation and removal, of the old Thule rectangular-bar racks, but this system looks better, is quiet, won't sag, and seems more robust.



by:

Worked as promised. Easy install. We use it for our Kuat bike rack. If you need it for your ID.4 (AWD) get it.



by:

Easy to install, took less than 30 min.
Perfect fit on a Volvo V60 CC.
No issues with a "trunk" mounted bike carrier secured to the rear bar. Yakima Frontloader also fit perfectly.



by:

I ordered a Thule rack, including the mounting feet and the cross bars. I then learned, less than a day and a half from our departure for a ski trip, the mounting feet needed a “kit” of hardware in order to function. I spoke with Justin at etrailer who confirmed the kit was in stock. Though it was mid-afternoon, Justin confirmed with etrailer Shipping the kit could go out for next day delivery. The next morning the kit arrived and I successfully mounted our rack system. Clearly my fault for not getting all the necessary components. Still, Justin solved my problem. “Customer Service” is alive and well at etrailer! Thanks, Justin!



by:

Solid roof rack, but get help from etrailer to make sure you get the core feet.



by:

After searching unsuccessfully for support in the retrofit of my legacy Thule rack to a new car, I was pleased by the excellent support from Bailey B. She was methodical in her query and verification of compatibility in my non-standard application. The rack



by:

Perfect fit and easy installation. Highly recommend for a lower profile rack. Also allows sunroof to vent on 2016 Lexus RX350. Haven’t driven with them on yet so I don’t know how road noise is at this time.



by:

I got my packages today and had it installed within the hour looks great very satisfied



by:

As always, when I need parts or a new roof rack, I look to etrailer to supply my needs. Fair prices, vast inventory and speedy service.



by:

Easy set up, great roof rack. One small problem with installing the rubber strips, piece would not lay flush..



by:

Imagine that…. Easy step by step instructions!!! Had it assembled and on the car in under an hour. Great product, great quality!



by:

Very pleasant experience, end to end. I found exactly what I needed, ordered processed and shipped very quickly.package arrived within 2 days and accurate great job guys. I’ll definitely buy from them again and highly recommended

It took a long time for Thule to make a footkit for the 2021 Hyundai Elantra, but it was worth the wait. The fit on the car, carrying two kayaks, is very secure. We've had it a year with no problems.

E-Trailer was very quick in shipping as always.



by:

Fast shipping, easy installation, excellent quality, highly recommended company and product.



by:

Excellent product. Arrived when promised. Very pleased. Thank you.



by:

I’m extremely satisfied with the fit kit. Strong and secure mounting, traveled 2300 miles and still tight and sturdy as the day I installed.



by:

I just wanted to take a minute to thank Carol C for driving amazing customer service! I ordered a Thule rack system, and the Thule cross bars arrived with the packaging torn partially open, causing some of the cross bar end caps to be lost in transit. Worth noting, the cross bars were in Thule's original packaging, so this was in no way the fault of etrailer. Despite this being a Thule issue, Carol C sent me a new pack of end caps, which I really appreciate...Thanks!

  • Tonneau Cover and Roof Rack for 2020 Honda Ridgeline
    While you can add a tonneau cover and roof rack to your 2020 Honda Ridgeline, there are no ladder rack options available for this truck because the bed doesn't have the needed length. So the best option would be to add a tonneau cover and roof rack system to your Ridgeline. Let's start with the roof rack, and for that I recommend the option from Thule because they are extremely quiet, easy to use, and highly durable. The WingBar Evo crossbars are so quiet because they are aerodynamic with...

  • Recommended Roof Rack for a 2021 Honda Pilot
    If you're looking for a roof rack for a 2021 Honda Pilot then we have some great options but they will be dependent on roof type. If you have a bare roof then I recommend the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbar System part # TH711520, part # TH710501, and part # TH79RV. If you have flush side rails then I recommend the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbar System part # TH711420, part # TH460R, and part # THKIT3132. These are both great aero bar systems that offer a custom fit.

  • Recommended Crossbars, Kayak Carrier, and Tonneau Cover for a 2019 Honda Ridgeline
    The Thule TracRac TracONE Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Fixed Mount # TH27000XTB you mentioned is actually not going to be a fit for your 2019 Honda Ridgeline. I went ahead and checked to see if there are any ladder racks available for your 2019 Honda Ridgeline, and unfortunately there are none that'll fit your vehicle, however I do have another solution on how you can carry your kayaks. Instead of using a ladder rack, I recommend installing a set of roof mounted crossbars in conjunction with...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2024 Honda Ridgeline that Has Tonneau Cover
    Hey Rick, so I have a similar crossbar solution that will work for your 2024 Honda Ridgeline but we don't have any ladder racks that fit your vehicle's bed at all. Instead your best option would be a roof rack for that would put crossbars on the roof of the vehicle like the Thule Wingbar Edge part # TH28RE, # TH79SC, and # TH79RV.

  • Thule Roof Rack That Fits 2017 Honda Pilot With Naked Roof
    We do have the Thule roof rack you need that fits your 2017 Honda Pilot with a naked roof, though the part numbers are going to be different. The reason for that is not long ago Thule updated their crossbars, roof rack feet, and fit kits with improved designs that are easier to install and even quieter. So I checked with Thule for you to confirm the exact parts you will need that fit your 2017 Honda Pilot with a naked roof, and they are the following: - Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars -...

  • Recommended Roof Rack To Carry A Rooftop Tent On A 2017 Honda Pilot
    I can find a roof rack for your 2017 Honda Pilot. Your 2017 Honda Pilot will only have 165 lbs maximum weight limit on your roof rack. This is a dynamic weight limit, which is the weight when your vehicle is moving. Your rack can support more weight when it is not moving, or static weight. Unfortunately, none of the roof rack companies will test vehicles for their static weight limit. If your roof top tent weighs 170 lbs, you will be assuming the responsibility for transporting a roof top...

    For your 2019 Honda Ridgeline with a naked roof, you are unfortunately not be able to use the Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack for Raised, Factory Side Rails TH7504-TH7504 as they are designed to be used with factory rails. Instead, you are going to need a different crossbar setup like the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711520 with the Evo Clamp Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH710501, and the Fit Kit for Thule Evo Clamp and Edge Clamp Roof Rack Feet # TH79RV. These crossbars measure 60" long...

  • Parts Needed to Install a Thule Roof Rack on a 2024 Honda Pilot w/ a Naked Roof
    Yes, they will but you will also need to install the Edge Clamp Feet for Thule Edge Crossbars item # TH79SC as well. These connect the Thule WingBar Edge Crossbars item # TH76FE to the Fit Kit for Thule Edge Clamp Roof Rack Feet item # TH79RV and to your 2024 Honda Pilot's naked roof. The top of the crossbars on this Thule roof rack system will sit 3-1/2" above the top of your Honda's roof and it is considered a flush roof rack because the crossbars do not extend past the legs.

  • Compatibility For Thule Hull-A-Port 835PRO and Thule WingBar EVO Cross Bars on a 2023 Ridgeline
    I reached out to Thule for clarification on the compatibility of the parts you have. They explained that the Thule WingBar Evo # TH711500 with the Evo Clamp Feet # TH710501 and Fit Kit # TH79RV you installed on your 2023 Honda Ridgeline are not compatible with the Adapter # THXADAPT11 you have on your Hull-A-Port 835PRO. That adapter was only compatible with the AeroBlade roof bars. You will instead need to use the 80mm Bolts # 915-068-054 which came with your 835PRO along with the cradle...

    For your 2022 Honda Pilot, I recommend checking out the: -Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711500, with the Evo Clamp Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH710501, and the Fit Kit for Thule Evo Clamp Roof Rack Feet # TH79RV for the crossbars, and the: -Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket # TH859XT for the roof basket. This roof basket measures 49" long x 40" wide x 6" tall, has a maximum weight capacity of 150 lbs, and comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

  • How to Reuse Thule Square Bars on 2012 Honda Civic Sedan
    Thule recently changed their square bar roof rack design and now their square bars attach to the feet of the rack via a channel they added to the bottom of the bars but I do have a solution that would work. Inno has a square bar roof rack that has square bars that are the same dimensions as the Thule bars so what you can do to reuse your current bars is use the Inno Feet part # INSUT and fit kit # INK722 and you'd be set.

  • Recommended Thule Roof Rack System For 2016 Honda Pilot With Bare Roof
    So long as your 2016 Honda Pilot has a bare roof I recommend taking a look at the Thule Roof Rack System which uses 60" Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711520, Evo Clamp Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH710501, and Fit Kit # TH79RV. I also recommend adding the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders # TH450400 which will lock the roof rack to your vehicle to deter theft.

  • Will The Thule Roof Rack On My 2013 Honda Ridgeline Fit My 2022 Honda Ridgeline
    It will depend on the model Honda Ridgeline you had/have. The roof rack from your 2013 Honda Ridgeline will work on your 2022 Honda Ridgeline if they both have raised rails. If not, I do have a Thule roof rack to fit your 2022 Honda Ridgeline with a naked roof. Unfortunately, it will not be the same roof rack you had on your 2013 Honda Ridgeline. Your Thule rack for the 2022 Honda Ridgeline will consist of the following items: Thule SquareBar Evo Crossbars - Steel - 60" Long - Qty 2,...

    While we don't currently carry any compatible ladder racks for a 2019 Honda Ridgeline we do offer roof racks and hitch extenders that could be used to help haul ladders and other cargo. For the roof rack you can use the following parts for a naked roof: Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711520 Evo Clamp Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH710501 Fit Kit for Thule Evo Clamp Roof Rack Feet # TH79RV If you have rails running from the front to the back of the cab then you can use the following:...

  • Can You Use Old Thule Square Crossbars On a 2017 Honda Pilot with Bare Roof
    It may have been an evil plan by Thule to force everyone to buy a new system or it could have just been a genuine design change, either way you won't be able to reuse the old Thule square crossbars because Thule doesn't make the feet or kit kit needed to attach them to the roof anymore. The best option we can offer you is their new square bar system, the Thule SquareBar Evo Crossbar System composed of part # TH712500, part # TH710501, and part # TH79RV.

  • Thule Roof Rack for 2023 Honda Pilot to Carry Hullavator Assisted Kayak Carrier
    The roof rack fits from a 2022 Honda Pilot are the same as for a 2023 Honda Pilot so you could use the 53 inch WingBar Evo rack part numbers # TH711400, # TH460R, # THKIT3132 that you mentioned. Which when we installed this on a similar Honda Pilot as yours with raised rails we found there was enough overhang for the bars to allow the fit of a Thule Hullavator part # TH898. If for some reason you had the naked roof version of your vehicle you could instead use the 60 inch bar rack part...

  • Can The Older Thule Traverse 480 Feet Be Used With Newer Square Bar And Fit Kit?
    I confirmed with Thule that your older 480 Traverse feet will not work with the newer 145243 Fit Kit # TH79RV that you need, and it will not work with newer Thule square bars either. You will need to go with a new roof rack setup for your 2017 Honda Pilot naked roof. The complete setup is as follows: -Evo Clamp Feet # TH710501 -Fit Kit # TH79RV -you can install WingBar Evo Crossbars Black # TH711520, Silver # TH711500, or go with Square bars # TH712500.

  • Correct Thule Fit Kit for a 2020 Honda Pilot With Bare Roof
    I checked with Thule and the correct fit kit for a 2020 Honda Pilot with bare roof (no flush or raised side rails) is part # TH79RV. The part # THKIT3132 is for models with flush side rails which have fixed mounting points within. The part # TH79RV must then be used with the Evo Clamp Feet for Thule Crossbars part # TH710501.
