I’ve been wanting to add an old set of crossbars to my camper for a while, but had no way to attach them. These top tracks were the perfect solution. I can now use a rack, bike/kayak mounts, anything and take advantage of the added storage capacity. To keep the curvature, I trimmed mine down a few inches with a mitre box and hacksaw.

No issues, and they work great!

A year later, and they still work great!

Works great. Instructions were clearly written. Installation was relatively easy. Looks like it came that way from the factory.

They answered my questions regarding install very quickly, with attached printable documents. Also, thought some parts were missing, once again quick response and suggested I look more thoroughly in the box, and they were right! I will buy all my trailer and rack needs from them in the future.

Arrived on time. Can’t wait to mount on my truck

  • Roof Rack Components to Fit A.R.E. Camper Shell Tracks
    To install a Thule roof rack system using the Yakima tracks already on your A.R.E. topper you will just need the Thule Fit Kit # THKIT3101, the Podium Feet # TH460R, and a set of crossbars like the 60" WingBar Evo # TH711520.

  • Recommended Cargo Box and Roof Bike Carrier for 2015 Honda Odyssey
    I spoke with Kevin and he told me about setup that he used at the time he wrote the review about the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider HR1400. This specific bike rack has been discontinued but Hollywood Racks replaced it with part # HR1400Z. The only real change between these bike racks is that the lock cores are on the handle of the hooks. The cargo box he is using has been discontinued but Thule has a very similar cargo box with their Motion XT # TH629706. This cargo box comes with SlideLocks...

  • Best Roof Track System to Add Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform to a 2002 Chevy Tahoe Z71
    On the 60 inch long Thule tracks # THTB60 the screws are M5x40mm. But the Thule tracks are designed for use on fiberglass only (like camper shells) and not metal roofs so I cannot recommend them. You mentioned not wanting to use the cap nut system on the Yakima 60 inch tracks # Y01135 but that works out because there is a special kit needed to install the tracks on a metal roof, # Y8880039, and would require 1/4 inch holes. The tracks are aluminum. But the special feet used for the Yakima...

  • What are the Longest Crossbars You Carry to Mount Solar Panels on Tracks?
    I think you are asking whether you can put 2 of the Thule Top Track System # THTP42 right next to each other in order to have a longer crossbar system. While this is technically possible, you will have the endcaps of the crossbars that interfere. With this interval of space, you will not have connection points at those areas for your solar panels. All that being said, it is better to get a longer crossbar with the tracks instead of putting two crossbars end-to-end. For that route, I recommend...

    If you have the Rapid Podium Feet for Thule Crossbars - Fixed Point - Qty 4, part # TH460R, and square crossbars, the last part you need for your roof rack is the fit Fit Kit for Thule Podium-Style Roof Rack Feet - 3101, part # THKIT3101. The the rubber bases for the Thule feet come with the fit kit. These feet go with the redesigned Thule square crossbars -- they have a channel on the underside of the crossbar.

  • Roof Rack Recommendations for a 2002 Ford Escape
    Thule does not have a roof rack option for your 2002 Ford Escape. The feet in your picture are Tracker or Tracker II feet which are not made anymore and the fit kits that go with them are also being phased out. New components will be needed to add a roof rack to your Escape. If your Escape has the factory side rails that run front to back then the most cost effective roof rack consists of the following parts: Crossbars # Y00408 SL Adapter # Y03536 TimberLine Towers # Y33TR For a naked...

  • Could Thule Roof Rack Track Be Installed on 2017 GMC Sierra
    I don't like recommend track style roof racks on brand new vehicles as they require drilling through the roof and head liner. If you absolutely wanted to you could install the part # THTB60 I am sure you could. A better option may be the 42 inch long version though part # THTP42 since you want it shorter. Or the 54 inch part # THTP54.

  • Can The Thule Top Track Roof Mount System Be Installed On A Bare Roof Of A 2019 Chevrolet Equinox?
    Yes you can absolutely install the Thule Top Track Roof Mount System # THTP42 with your 2018 Chevrolet Equinox. This system can also be installed on your own, the parts are very light weighing only 3-lbs for the pair so you shouldn't have any issues with that, however it's also never a bad idea to have a buddy get a second set of eyes on it. To install it you're just going to need to align the tracks to each other and position the ends equally apart from the reference line on your vehicle,...

  • What Tools Are Needed to Install Thule Top Track Roof Mount System
    Yes, the installation instructions just have you installing the Thule Top Track Roof Mount System # THTP42 from the roof of the vehicle and not having to do anything on the inside. You will drill the holes in your roof using a 1/8" drill bit and then installing the M5 flare nut insert (see linked instructions).

  • Adding A Thule SquareBar Roof Rack To A Fiberglass Camper Shell
    Hi Shane, Typically with camper shells we recommend installing a Thule Top Tracks for Roof Racks on the roof of the shell so that you can install a roof rack and be able to slide it around in the tracks to fit your various needs. We offer these tracks in the following sizes: 42" # THTP42 54" # THTP54 60" # THTB60 From there you can use fit kit # THKIT3101 and Rapid Podium Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH460R to connect your SquareBars.

  • Can Thule TP42 Top Tracks Fit TracRac SR Rails on 2010 Honda Ridgeline
    The Base Rails for Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Racks # TH21610 are not compatible with the 42" Long Thule Top Track Roof Mount System # THTP42. This system does require a permanent mount to a roof as opposed to being able to fit other rails. If you are looking for a rack system for your 2010 Honda Ridgeline, since there isn't a ladder rack that fits your truck (I double-checked with our manufacturers), the best option to carry cargo is a roof rack. The best option is from...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2013 Honda Odyssey for Sears Sport 20SV
    There isn't a better priced and better option overall for a roof rack that fits your 2013 Honda Odyssey than the Malone AirFlow2 part # MAL84AR that you referenced but this only fits if you have raised roof rails. You can't beat the price and quality you get with the Malone racks and they are compatible with the Sears box you mentioned as well. Only option if you have a naked roof would be the Wingbar Evo roof rack part numbers # TH711420, # THTP42, # TH460R, # THKIT3101.

  • Fit of a Roof Mounted Top Rack System on a 2013 Ram 3500
    We don't always list fit information for track kits because of the varying applications of them on trailers, camper shells and actual vehicles. This is because of the numerous variations of these vehicles and the fits that would need to be listed out for each individual vehicle. In this case, your 2013 Ram 3500 would be able to have the Thule Roof Mounted Top Rack, part # THTP54 installed on the cab's roof by drilling into the vehicle. However, the vehicle is also capable of having clamp...

  • Can I Use Yakima SkyLine Towers with Thule Tracks?
    Yes, the tracks themselves recreate the factory C-shaped rack tracks. Thule Tracks # THTP42 and Yakima Tracks # Y01126 have the same C-channel design, but differ in length and how they mount to the vehicle. To use your SkyLine Towers # Y53TR with these tracks, you need the Yakima Landing Pad 1 # Y00221. This is the mount that fits directly into track systems and can be used with SkyLine or Control Towers.

  • What is the Total Height of the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack for Thule and Yakima Tracks?
    The total height from the bottom of the legs to the top of the crossbars on the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack for Thule and Yakima Tracks # Y01-120B-NT is 4-7/8 inches. If you account for the length of the height of the Yakima Tracks # Y01127, it adds about a 1/2 inch to the total setup. With the added track length of the Yakima tracks, you are looking at a total height of 5-3/8 inches on top of your 2020 Toyota Tacoma. The Thule Tracks # THTP42 will add about an inch to your total setup, which...

  • Will Thule Tram Ski Adapter Fit Hollywood Racks Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack on 2012 Honda Odyssey
    The Thule Tram, # TH9033, has only been test fit on Thule trailer hitch mount bike racks (listed on the Tram product page). Out of the racks that are on that list and still available, all of them have arms that are spaced closer together than the Hollywood Racks 5 bike racks arms so it is not likely the best fit and I do not recommend it. Going with a roof rack would be the way to go. There is currently only one option for a compatible roof rack and it consists of the following: Thule...

  • Where Does Thule Track THTP42 Install on 2014 Honda Odyssey
    I spoke with my contact at Thule about the install of the # THTP42 on your 2014 Honda Odyssey and this is what they told me: 1. They should have a body shop install the tracks. 2. The body shop can get the information from Honda as far as where (and where not) to drill). Thule does not have that info because automobile manufacturers don’t like to share it with us but they will tell the body shops.

  • Roof Rack for a 4300 International Ambulance
    For your application I recommend going with the Thule track mount system as that has the longest bars at 79" which will fit with a current foot pack. You will need tracks and a whole roof rack package. I will have these separated out so that you can choose the best track length for your application. Please keep in mind that the weight capacity of the roof is typically the limiting factor when it comes to load capacity so you'll want to see if you can find out what that is for your 4300...
