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!



by:

Fit my 2015 Kia Sorento perfectly



by:

These work great on my Jeep Wrangler hard top along with the square cross bars



by:

only problem is that that roof rack is very noisy when we have two kayaks attached.

  • Recommended Roof Rack For a 2023 Toyota Highlander With Naked Roof
    I recommend installing the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack on your 2023 Toyota Highlander with the clean/naked roof. I prefer to use the Thule as they utilize a channel mount in which you do not have to cut the rubber strips to use channel mounted accessories. Here is a list of the parts needed to install this on your roof.

  • Recommended Cargo Basket, Crossbars, and Complete Towing Setup for a 2023 Toyota Highlander LE
    For your 2023 Toyota Highlander LE I recommend checking out 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 # TH98ZE for a set of crossbars. These crossbars measure 60" long x 3-1/8" wide x 1" tall, has a maximum weight capacity of 220-lbs, and due to it's aero design it will dramatically reduce wind noise while helping maintain fuel efficiency.

  • 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. This gives you a solid setup...

  • Thule Roof Rack that Fits 2022 Toyota Highlander LE
    Thule has roof rack kits that fit your 2022 Toyota Highlander LE with a naked roof with the WingBar Edge rack part numbers # TH28RE, # TH79SC, and # TH98ZE but there isn't an aftermarket way to add side rails to the roof of your vehicle. You'd have to check with Toyota but more than likely there isn't a way.

  • Recommended Roof Rack And Roof Basket For 2021 Kia Telluride With Naked Roof
    Since your 2021 Kia Telluride has a naked roof without side rails, I recommend going with Thule SquareBar Evo Crossbars - Steel - 60" Long - Qty 2 # TH712500. You'll also need the appropriate Feet # TH710501 and Fit Kit # TH98ZE. Since you mentioned adding a basket, I would look into the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 49" x 40" x 6" - 150 lbs item # TH859XT. This is a popular and very nice option that will fit your roof very well. I attached a few demonstration videos or...

    To install side rails on your 2020 Toyota Highlander you'll need to reach out to a Toyota dealer, but we do have some roof racks that install to a naked roof via clamps that secure to your door jambs. I really like the Thule WingBar setup because it's easy to use/setup, looks great, and is one of the leading brands when it comes to quality as well.
