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 WingBar Evo Roof Rack for Naked Roofs - Black - Aluminum - Qty 2 - TH98TG

Average Customer Rating:  4.7 out of 5 stars   (683 Customer Reviews)

Premium, aerodynamic crossbars attach to Thule feet to create a quiet, stylish roof rack for your vehicle. Dual rubber strips in T-slots let you easily mount accessories - no trimming required. Simple to center and install with integrated scales.

by:

So far its the best roof rack you can get today! Had no issues when driving through rugged and bumpy terrains all day.



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:

The bars are strong and fairly quiet, especially considering that I mount them on the main cab of my pickup truck and not on top of the canopy. My biggest concern is that the rubber strip that runs the length of the bar to reduce wind noise was badly damaged when I slid my canoe up on to the bars. Given the weight of the canoe, I'm accustomed to getting one end on a bar and sliding it back into position. Given the sensitivity of the rubber, is started pulling away from the bar and shredding when sliding the gunwales over the top of the bar. I'll try to be more careful, but a roof rack needs to be more utilitarian in my humble opinion.

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

Absolutely great product



by:

No problems installing. The rack is doing fine.



by:

Easy to install, stay nice and tight.



by:

Cross bars have been working very well. No issues with them



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:

Arrived on time. The product was well packaged. These crossbars are just what I was looking for and look great on my Renegade.

Korren @ e-trailer found these longer bars for me and I'm enormously grateful for her doing so!!

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

Toyota RAV4

53” Thule bars fit our 2021 RAV4 Hybrid! Most people appear to be using 47” bars for the 2021 RAV4 with flush roof rails, but that’s smaller than I wanted. I sometimes carry a sheet of plywood, or a kayak plus a cargo box, and wanted a wider rack for that. I had heard that upsizing to the 53” bar was potentially not possible because the mounting slots on the bottom of the bar may not accommodate the rail locations relative to the bar length. ETrailer helped me out with some dimensions, so I bought the 53” bar knowing it would be close. There is only about a quarter inch of play on either side on the rear bar, but it fit (the front bar had more play, since the towers are a bit further apart at the front).



I’m SO happy with the result! Now I can carry what I want on the rack, and have room to spare! It looks pretty good too!

Jeep Grand Cherokee

I've always trusted Thule bars. I have an old Xsporter on my truck that works really well and it has held up over time. I needed to get a Thule rack for my Jeep Grand Cherokee and found that etrailer had all the parts I needed specified for my model. That was one of my favorite things about the site. No need to search around for the different parts to attached onto the factory rails. Once I received the rack and components, it was really easy to install. I pretty much watched the etrailer videos before hand.

I have the older Hullavator 897XT to haul my kayak in. With the WingBar Evo, I found I needed to get a slightly longer bolt (6-1.00 x 30), which I got from the local Ace hardware store, to attached the Hullavator support bracket to the WingBar. Once I got those bolts set up, I was on the water with the kayak the next day.

Talked to the customer service a few times and they are great friendly people. And I can understand what they are saying.



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 product, but even better customer service from etrailer.com. Kaylyn went to a lot of effort to help me get what we needed in a very difficult time for availability & logistics

2017 Chevrolet Colorado

Thule is an excellent product and the fit on my 2017 Chevrolet Colorado is perfect. The good people at etrailer were super helpful in getting the correct fit parts to me as quickly as possible, especially during a tough year for all. I’ve found my Thule racks to be the perfect tool to take our kayaks on our adventures!

Subaru XV Crosstrek

I’ve been searching for a set of crossbars for my 2021 Crosstrek. After looking at several different companys,, I decided to go with etrailer.com and get the Thule Wingbar Evo Crossbars and Evo Raised feet. Ordering was quick and shipping was even faster! Installed them in about an hour with no issues. I love the way they look, and the construction is solid. Shout out to the staff for doing a great job and for the great communication from placing the order, confirmation, updates and shipping the order. You will not be disappointed!



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:

The package was shipped in its OEM box with no additional protection. As such the Thule Aero wing cross bars were both dented on one side. Not sure if I received a return or if the product was dented in shipping as there was a significant amount of packing tape on the dented side. Either way, the end caps wouldn’t fit into the dented cross bars until I cut away plastic from the end caps. For $XXX+ dollars you think that would buy more shipping protection. Unbelievable, really.



by:

Seamless ordering and delivery. Video instructions very helpful



by:

Overall solid product. The little rubber strips that fit into the top bar are relatively fragile, I installed them, pulled one out to trim about 1/8 inches of excess length and the strip deformed such that it never went back in correctly. Fortunately etrailer had replacement strips.

  • Roof Rack and Thule/Yakima Roof Cargo Box Recommendation for a 2020 Toyota 4Runner
    Thank you for the information! It sounds like your 2020 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro has the raised rails and OEM crossbar setup that we'd find on the standard 2020 Toyota 4Runner. This has very low clearance under the factory crossbars so it's definitely better to upgrade to an aftermarket system that sits higher. For your application I recommend going with the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack system because it's stylish, is easy to install, and raises the clearance height to your roof so you can...

  • Replacement Rubber Strip for Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars
    To replace the rubber strips in the top of your 53" Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420 you need the Replacement QuickAccess Interface Top T-Track Strip # 1500052989. This comes with both sides of the strip, but it is one piece so you will need to tear it apart (it's already prepped for this) prior to installing it on your crossbars. The strip is about 60" long so you will need to cut them to length. Attached is a review video for you to check out.

I prefer this system as the aerodynamic cross bars have a 2 piece seal on the t channel.

The reason why the bottom slots of the 53-inch WingBar evo crossbars # TH711420 will not attach to the Evo Raised Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH710401 is because the 53-inch version of the WingBar Evo Crossbars are too long for your 2019 Subaru Forester.

The issue is that the crossbars are not long enough to support two Hullavators, but there are a couple options that will work: Option 1 - Thule Hullavator Pro # TH898 & - Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier and TelosXL Load Assist # MPG114MD-351XL Option 2 - Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier and TelosXL Load Assist # MPG114MD-351XL & - Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier #...

  • 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...

  • Thule Roof Racks that Fit 2022 Honda CR-V
    Yes Thule does have aero bar roof racks that fit your 2022 Honda CR-V. 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.

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...
