Video Transcript for Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars Installation - 2013 Volkswagen Jetta

Evangeline: Hi, it's Evangeline from etrailer.com. And today we are looking at our Thule Roof Rack System with the Wing Bar Evo Crossbars, and the Thule Evo clamps here on our 2013 Volkswagen Jetta. If you have a vehicle like this, a 2013 Jetta, you really want to maximize your space, this is a great option, especially since you can only carry a Class I hitch on this car. So if you want to carry more bikes, have more room for items and storage, you can get one of these and really get the most out of your vehicle.So this is especially nice, because it is a custom fit for our vehicle. One of the ways it showed was in the back, this car has a special slot there, and you can see how Thule really designed it to fit into that. And it contours around all the spaces of our car.

So that way, because it does have this nice rubber design to on the clamp foot pads, as well as the clips are contoured with the door, you don't have to worry about it, damaging your vehicle.You see how these Evo clamps are designed to be nice and a bit low profile. They're nice and sturdy. I like this upgraded design from Thule. You can also replace these lock cores over here with Thule Lock Core. So if you want to use their one key system, you can order four different Lock Cores with the same number.

So you just need to use one key to unlock them all. So this is a nice little feature it has here in the towers.As for the Wing Bar Evo Crossbars we have here, it has this nice, sturdy design, and a cool little feature is how you can take off the end cap. It just slides off. And this is to make it a lot easier to attach accessories. So this way you actually don't even need to take off the rubber strip at the top, you can just put them through.

And when they are in place, just lock it into place.Let's talk about weight capacity and dimensions. So this roof rack has a weight capacity of 165 pounds. But I would advise that you check with your owner's manual and just choose whichever is lower of the weight capacities mentioned. This is also a pretty nice low-profile roof rack on your car roof here. So for exact height from the top of our roof to the bottom of the bars is 2-1/4 inches.

So still I guess, a good enough space for mounting accessories, but as for height from top of the roof to the top of the bar, it's 3-1/2.But the good news is with your Jetta, you don't really have to worry about roof clearance compared to other vehicles. Our Jetta here has this nice sun roof here, so if you're worried about, if it comes in contact with the glass, you don't need to worry. It's built around it, and it works really well. One thing you just might consider is if you do have accessories, of course, put a towel on your roof beforehand and make sure it fits within the 2-1/4 inches of space between your bars and the roof.So with all that, let's see how we install this. So for install, I already installed the first one's towards the front. So we can do this one together. The first thing you need to do is to take out the end cap of your bar. Just press that button and pull it out. Like that. And with this out of the way, you can set up your tower. To set up the tower, first take off the cap, and this can just be pulled off. It snapped into place like that.So we have different foot packs and different clips. So make sure you check your manual for which a foot pack matches which clip on which tower. So for this side we have the 97 and the 79 for the clip. So to put this foot pad on, you just pop it on here at the bottom. It's a nice rubber footpad, so you can really feel how sturdy that rubber is as you pop it on. Make sure that the foot packs are pulled flush towards the top of this lever here. There's a bunch of groups that fits around and it lies flat here and the top.Okay, so with that in place, you can then put in your clip and that's really easy to do. You just make sure this end is loosened, so use the included tool to loosen that up. And with it loose, you can then pop this clip in there. So you just put it in, and you have to listen for a click to know that it's seated. So, right there. You can see how you can't pull that out and you know it's in there.So do not put the cap on just yet, because you're going to have to tighten it down when it's on your car. You just need to put them on the bar. So to do so, there's a silver lever here inside, and you need to pull that on each side, which then causes this end to pop out. And with it popping out like that, you can then insert it into your bars. The bar has its own integrated ruler here. So if you follow your fit kit's instruction guide, it will tell you exactly where to put it. Ours says at 35-1/2. So that's what I'm following.With that locked in place, you just need to put the end cap in and we're ready to put it on our vehicle. When putting the bars on your vehicle, I recommend getting a second set of hands just to grab it while it's up there and help you fit it into place. What's cool about this, on our 2013 Volkswagen Jetta, is that in the back, there's grooves inside, there's that little slot, which fits perfectly with our fit kit on the back.So that slot is not there on the front bars, but it's a nice marker for putting the bars on in the back. With this in place, we just start tightening it down. I recommend partially tightening it on one side and then hopping over to the other side and tightening it there. So they're like evenly tightened. And you just have to use the included tools, which torques it down.And once it makes a click sound, you know you're done. So what I like to do is just turn into like clicks twice. So one and two. And with that in place, you know it's a good fit and it works well. Good enough to slam the door on it and you don't have to worry about it. Just put the caps back on your towers, and you're ready to go. So that was a look at our Thule Roof Rack with Wing Bar Evo Crossbars, and Thule Evo claps here on our 2013 Volkswagen Jetta.

Thule SquareBar Evo Roof Rack for Naked Roofs - Black - Steel - Qty 2 - TH52UG

Average Customer Rating:  4.7 out of 5 stars   (508 Customer Reviews)

SquareBar Evo crossbars attach to Thule feet to create a durable, reliable roof rack for your vehicle. Bars are constructed of galvanized steel with a polymer coating that provides grip for your cargo. Accommodate accessories that clamp around bars.

Chevrolet Colorado

About a year ago we purchased two Thule Hullavator Pro kayak racks along with a Thule SquareBar Roof Rack for mounting. The combination worked out very well and we headed from Colorado Springs to Duvall Washington outside of Seattle with three stops along the way to kayak. The trip went smoothly and we appreciated the Hullavator ease lifting the boats. We have two more trips planned in the near future. We did mount the boats with cockpits down to avoid filling with water when traveling without a problem.



by:

Standard crossbars, very strong and ver satile.



by:

I've had the roof rack for a year now and we only use it sporadically in the winter to put the ski box ontop of the car but it works great. Very easy to install and remove and very sturdy. Previously I had the kind that bolted into the roof of my SUV and had a terrible experience with that (we lost the rack and kayaks on the freeway and it tore holes in my roof). The clamp style is the only kind we'll get from now on because they are much sturdier and no risk of losing them. Definitely recommend them.



by:

While the instructions were a bit difficult to follow the install videos from etrailer are a blessing to figure out what to expect even if not exact to the letter. Overall product is excellent, use it to haul kayaks and a 18 ft aluminum canoe to and from locations. Would recommend

by:
Jeep Grand Cherokee

These bars are great and work fine. However the connection slots are not long enough to allow the 60” bars to work on our grand Cherokee. The 60” bars would give more clearance for our Thule Hullevators when they are in the lowered position. I had to develop a removable pad system to protect them from hitting the side of the car.



by:

I just got my packages and had it installed within the hour very satisfied



by:

No problems installing. The rack is doing fine.



by:

Easy to install, stay nice and tight.



by:

Product was right fit for my vehicle and installed perfectly. Etrailer was knowledgeable and got the goods to me quickly. Enjoyed working with them and will again.



by:

I've owned this roof rack for a year now, and it has served my purposes (carrying my kayak around on my truck) quite well. It was fairly easy to assemble, largely because the entire instruction guide was in pictures.

I have had to retighten the rack a couple of times since putting it on the roof, so I tie the kayak down to the front and back of the truck as well as to the roof rack. I suspect the ocean kayak puts a bit of lift on the roof rack resulting in the loosening.



by:

Easy to install, fit and finish are top notch.



by:

Well packaged, arrived in good condition. Works as expected. Would be great to have additional fitment information available. The underside channels of the 53” bars were just barely long enough to fit Leer cap track system spaced 40” apart using the rapid podium feet (phew). Thought from the measurements there would be some room to spare but didn’t account for the angle of the podium feet.



by:
GMC Sierra

Worked perfectly on my 2020 GMC Sierra. Looks and works great.



by:
Ford F-150

I have almost always had roof rails on my vehicles. My F150 had no rails and I was nervous about clamp style rack holders given what I tend to carry on top. These have been great and I am positive I have overloaded them numerous times.



by:

Great quality products! Easy installation with properly guided instructions. One of the best tracking information, from ordering to delivery. Would strongly recommend etrailer to anyone looking for roof or hitch bike racks.



by:

Seamless ordering and delivery. Video instructions very helpful



by:

Classic square bar, but modern integration with the podium feet. Exactly what I was looking for.



by:

Worked Perfect & Secured a very heavy load in extreme weather & off road conditions



by:

One of the Evo Clamps is missing the plastic plate where the rubber spacer attaches. Please send a new plate or new clamp so I can finish my install. See attached photos to see the difference.



by:
Dodge

Worked great on my 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan's naked roof. Carried fully loaded car topper over 8,000 miles without needing any adjustments. Easy to install. Created a significant amount of whistling/howling when driving without a topper, so I wrapped a bungee cord around the front bar and secured it to the Thule feet. Voila. No more noise.



by:

Easy to install with the anchors and crossbars, and still holding up great a year later.



by:
Ford Ranger

Great product from Thule. Fit my 2022 Ford Ranger perfectly and is very strong and secure when installed. Excellent customer service from trailer and extremely fast shipping.



by:

Excellent system



by:
Toyota Camry

I bought the Thule Evo Roof Rack to transport my kayak on my Lexus 300H. Thule will advise you on their website that his particular rack is not right for a Lexus 300H (i.e., they don't make a roof rack for a Lexus 300H); it is really for a Camry, but etrailer told me that is worked, I trusted them and they were correct. After all, a Lexus sedan is really a fancy Camry, but Thule will not acknowledge this point. It works great. Thule makes a solid product.



by:
Nissan Leaf

Superb quality. Of course, it is from Thule and they are expensive for sure. But, you really get what you pay for!

And, just consider how expensive it would be if using something more affordable (cheap generic brand) and the racks/bars take off from the roof with the box on the highway!

These will not take off, super sturdy and fits the car perfectly.
Just be sure to get the right kit.
And follow the paper instructions coming along the parts.

Can recommend these, were for Nissan Leaf 2021.

And not to forget the etrailer company, they did their part as well with flying colors. All parts arrived in time and were correct!

  • How Can I Fit Thule Square Crossbars on My 2015 Toyota Prius Hatchback with a Bare Roof?
    You are correct that Thule discontinued the Traverse Foot Pack 480. However, it is unclear from your question if you also meant that you had older square Thule crossbars. If you have older Thule square crossbars that do not have a channel opening in them, there is a solution for your 2015 Toyota Prius. That includes the following setup: - Inno Feet for Square Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Black # INSUT - Custom Fit Kit for Inno XS200, XS250, and INSU-K5 Roof Rack Feet # INK865 Since the...

    I do have a solution for you to have a roof rack on your 2020 Honda CR-V, but since Thule came out with their new Evo setup a lot of the Thule foot packs, like your Traverse, and fit kits have been discontinued. If you have the flush rails on the roof of your CR-V then you can use the Inno feet and fit kit that comes with their square bar roof rack kit: 46" Square Crossbars - # INB117 Inno Feet - # INXP Fit Kit - # IN98FR If you have a naked roof then you'll need a whole new roof rack...

  • Which Thule Roof Rack Will Fit A 2015 Subaru Legacy?
    I have a solution for you, but 141761 is an old part number that is no longer available and Rapid Traverse Feet # TH480R is not going to work with Fit Kit # TH145193. You would instead need to go with the recommended setup for your 2015 Subaru Legacy which is Fit Kit # TH145193, Evo Clamp Feet # TH710501 and then either Thule Wingbar Evo 53" Crossbars Silver # TH711400 (also available in Black # TH711420), or Thule SquareBar Evo 53" Crossbars # TH712400.

    I spoke with my contact at Thule and he stated that the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist # TH898 referenced in your question is not compatible with the 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan. This is simply because the weight capacity of the Grand Caravan along with a roof rack is not sufficient to support the Hullavator.

Since the hitch on your 2010 Nissan Altima is most likely a Class I hitch with a 200 lb tongue capacity and using a hitch adapter would reduce that down to 100 lbs, you would not have enough capacity for the weight of your rack plus 4 bikes.

  • Can Thule Ride-On Roof Rack Adapter Use Longer Thule Square Crossbars
    The Thule Ride-On Adapter is a great way to add a broadly-compatible square bar rack to an existing factory roof rack to allow installation of accessory carriers like their Big Mouth bike carrier TH599XTR that won't fit on some factory bars. Since some carriers will fit only on certain factory racks the Ride-On adapter lets you keep on using your bike carrier even once you've changed to a new vehicle that has incompatible roof rack bars. The standard length bars that come with the Ride-On...

  • 2024 Toyota Highlander Roof Rack, Cargo Platform, and Awning Recommendations
    Thanks for all the details! We definitely have a way to get a cargo basket and an awning installed on your 2024 Toyota Highlander, although the aftermarket roof rack systems will use a clamping system with your door jambs instead of mounting via those recessed points in your roof. For your application I recommend using a combination of the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack system along with the Rhino-Rack Pioneer cargo platform and the Rhino-Rack Batwing awning.

    The word from Thule is that their new WingBar crossbars are backwards compatible but the older AeroBlade crossbars won't work with the newer feet. If you let me know what the year/make/model is of your vehicle I can see if your vehicle uses the older feet or not so we can get you a roof rack.

    You are correct that Thule discontinued the Traverse Foot Pack 480. However, it is unclear from your question if you also meant that you had older square Thule crossbars. If you have older Thule square crossbars that do not have a channel opening in them, there is a solution for your 2015 Toyota Prius.

  • Can Two Thule Hullavator Kayak Carriers Fit on Thule Wingbar for 2022 Kia EV6
    When using the widest kayak the Thule Hullavator # TH898 can fit it can take up to 28-1/2 inches of crossbar space. The widest kayak this can fit is 36 inches. So what that means is that there's a pretty good chance the 50 inch crossbar Thule Wingbar Evo kit part numbers # TH711320, # TH710501, # TH48ZE would fit. We can't confirm whether or not a longer bar option would also work. The attachment channels on the bottom of the bars does not run the full length of the bar which means longer...

  • Parts Needed To Install Thule 725 or 726 Ski Carrier On a 2019 Mazda CX-5
    The easiest way to tell the Thule 725 and 726 ski/snowboard carriers apart is the 725 is a fixed carrier and the 726 allows you to slide the clamping portion out making it easier to load and unload your skis/snowboards. When you open the 726 there is a tab which rotates to the right and allows the clamping portion to slide out. The 725 will require the Mounting Kit # 7533998 while the 726 uses the Mounting Kit # TH7520970001 to fit your Thule Wingbar Evo roof rack. This will consist of...

If you have a naked roof you'd want the Wingbar Evo Roof Rack part numbers # TH711420, # TH710501, and # TH145046 or if you have the flush rails that run front to back you'd want the part numbers # TH711220, # TH460R, and # THKIT3166. The Wingbar Evo crossbars are the most aerodynamically shaped bar out there which means they are quieter and affect fuel mileage the least.

  • Will Thule Traverse Feet Work on a 2023 Ford F-150 SuperCrew
    I wish I had better news for you but Thule no longer supports the Traverse Feet. Therefore, you'd have to switch out these to the new Evo Clamp Feet part # TH710501 which also requires a new fit kit, the Fit Kit for Thule Evo Clamp part # TH145177. If you have old Thule square bars these would need to be replaced as well but if they were the aero then you can reuse them. If you need to replace your old bars, I recommend the Thule SquareBar Evo Crossbars part # TH712500.
