The old fitkit for the Thule Traverse Roof Rack on the 2005 Toyota Camry was # THKIT1261. This fit kit pairs with the Thule Rapid Traverse Feet # TH480R and Thule crossbars with slots underneath like Thule SquareBar Evo crossbars # TH712400. The fit kit product is now inactive since Thule phased out their Traverse foot packs and is using their new and improved Evo Clamp Feet # TH710501 instead.

When you're ready to upgrade your Thule roof rack system, the best way to go is with Evo Clamp Feet # TH710501, aerodynamic crossbars like Wingbar Evo # TH711420 and the appropriate fit kits. An upgrade will be necessary eventually since Thule designs make it that newer vehicles will have fit kits that are only compatible with these new towers and not the older Rapid Traverse Feet # TH480R.
