Installing a Track Roof Rack on a Used Camper Shell
Question:
I have a topper with just tracks on it. Theyre supposedly Thule, but how can I check for sure and/or what do I need to determine to order rack that is compatible?

Expert Reply:
In order to determine the rack's compatibility you'll need to measure the mounting channel by removing an endcap and measuring the width and height of the channel. This will let you know what bolt sizes that you need in order to mount anything into the roof rack regardless of branding.
I did reach out to Thule and they reported that if the opening is 1/2 inch wide that you can use the Thule Podium, part # TH460R with part # THKIT3101, as the fit kit. You should be able to fit the 60 inch bars, part # TH712500 onto the rack.
