Helpful Expert Reply:

If the top channels in the crossbars on your Ford roof rack are the right size then you could use replacement rubber strip # TH853354407. The strip is for Thule Rapid Aero bars and they have a slot that is 7/16 inches wide at the top where the strip would fit. If yours is the same or very, very close you could use this strip.
