Thule Aeroblade Roof Rack to Fit Tracks on Top of Tonneau Cover

Question

Question:

These look very similar to the older Thule Aero Bars. Will these fit on the Thule 430R? I have a Thule Tracker 2 kit that was truck bed cap. I’m going to use the system as a “low profile” rack over my F150 bed where the track mounts directly on top of the bed now that I have a Tonneau cover instead of the cap.

I wish we had something that fit your older Thule roof rack feet but the Rhino Rack bars as well as the newer Thule Aeroblade bars aren't going to fit the feet you have.

But you have a track system on the bed rails or the tonneau cover? We do have Thule roof racks that can fit the roof tracks of a track like what you have.

For that you would want the Thule fit kit part # THKIT3101, the feet part # TH460R, and then crossbars like the 58 inch bars # TH711520.
