How to Mount Older Thule Roof-Mount Bike Carrier to Elliptical Bars on 2010 Lexus X350
Question:
The set up I have allows me to mount it to square or round bars. Is there a undermount bracket I can get that would allow me to mount it to aero/elliptical bars? My bars are factory Lexus bars for my 2010 RX350. The racks were from a friend. They are old but still work well and I would like to bring them back to life. I am not sure if it is a Prologue. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thank you for the photo of the fork-mount on your older Thule roof-mount bike carrier. I checked with my contact at Thule and they no longer offer an adapter kit to allow your older roof-mount carrier intended for round or square bars to fit on the OEM aero-style bars on your 2010 Lexus RX 350.
The good news is that we do offer roof-mount carriers made specifically to fit factory crossbars. You can use the linked page to review all types of roof-mount bike carriers; these include fork-mount carriers like yours, as well as frame-mount and wheel-mount varieties. Just click on the type your prefer.
For a fork-mount carrier for a 12mm to 20mm thru-axle you can use the HighSpeed # Y02115. A video of this rack is linked for your reference.
