How To Use My Thule AeroBlade Edge and Rapid Traverse Foot Pack to a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Question:

Hello, I already have Thule aeroblade load bar item # 161015 from a previous car and Thule traverse foot pack item # 67288. What will I need to have this fit my 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee with black and chrome track, flush mounted rails that run front to back. Thanks

I have a solution for you, but your Rapid Traverse Foot pack # TH480R is not compatible with the black and chrome tracks on your 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee; additionally, you're going to need to measure your Aeroblade bars to make sure that they're long enough to extend 2" to 3" outside the raised side rails on your Grand Cherokee.

Instead you'll need to use the Thule Rapid Podium Feet # TH460R and fit kit # THKIT3142 to attach your existing bars to your 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee. If you end up needing longer bars, the Thule WingBar Evo # TH711420 are 53" long and would be a perfect fit for your Grand Cherokee.

I've linked a video review/installation of the new footpack and bars for you to have a look at as well.
