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.



by:

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

  • Thule Roof Rack For A Thule Camper Shell
    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.

  • Do Thule T-Bolts 853-5715 Fit In Thule Top Tracks?
    The Replacement M8 T-Bolt # 853-5715 you were looking at will fit Thule crossbars or the Thule TracRac and Xsporter Ladder Racks but will not work in your Thule Top Tracks. The Thule Top Tracks like the # THTP42 are not designed for T-bolts and instead is designed for the Thule Rapid Podium Feet # TH460R with fit kit # THKIT3101, and then allow you to install the Thule AeroBlade, WingBar Evo, SquareBar, or ProBar load bars of your choice.

  • 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...

  • Will Rhino-Rack Track Mount Roof Rack Fit Thule Tracks on a 2016 Ford F-150 SuperCab
    Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Y01-130-NT is compatible with Thule tracks # THTP42. The tracks require drilling into the roof to install so if you are fine with doing that on your 2016 Ford F-150 SuperCab then this set up will work for you. If you want to avoid having to drill then you can use a Yakima custom fit roof rack using the following parts: Yakima CoreBar Crossbars # Y00422 BaseLine Towers # Y28TR BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06122

  • 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.

  • 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,...

  • Will any of the Thule T-Bolts Fit Thule Tracks?
    I have a solution for you. Thule does not make T-bolts that will fit into Thule Tracks like the Thule Top Track Roof Mount System # THTP42. However, Thule does make T-bolts that are designed to fit Thule AeroBlade, AeroBlade Edge, or WingBar Evo crossbars. The T-bolt kit that fits these models of crossbars is the Thule Xadapt12 Watersports Adapter for AeroBlade, AeroBlade Edge or WingBar Evo Crossbars # THXADAPT12. With that being said, the T-bolt hardware in the Xadapt12 is only designed...

  • Roof Cargo Basket and Roof Rack Recommendation for Chevrolet K5 Blazer
    I have a solution for you, but there is no type of cargo basket that is available to mount to a flat roof without bars. The Safari cargo baskets are designed to fit to roof racks or raised side rails. Since you have no rails or bars on your vehicle, to be able to use a cargo basket you will need to install a roof rack. A track mounted roof rack will allow you to install the rack on the back, hard cover of the Blazer. For a track, I recommend the Thule Top Track Roof Mount System, 42...

    I did some research about roof racks for your 2006 Nissan Titan Crew Cab. There is not a traditional roof rack option for your Titan like there is for the 2017 Nissan Titan.

  • Recommended Roof Rack For 2016 Honda Odyssey To Carry 103lb Hobie Kayak
    Congratulations on the new kayak! For your 2016 Honda Odyssey I recommend the Thule Roof Rack System using 60" Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711520, and Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401 if your vehicles has the factory raised side rails running front to back. If it has a bare roof you will need the 53" Thule Crossbars # TH711420, Thule Top Track Mounting System # THTP42, Rapid Podium Feet # TH460R, and Fit Kit # THKIT3101. Both of these kits have a 165lb weight capacity which is plenty...

  • 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...

  • Is There Weight Capacity for Thule Top Track Roof Mount System
    The Thule Tracks part # THTP42 that you referenced does not have a weight capacity but it was intended to be used with Thule roof rack feet that have a 165 lb weight capacity so that would be a safe figure to go with.

    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...

    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.
