How To Mount Thule ProRide XT Bike Rack Onto Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars Using T Bolt Channel
Question:
Hello, I bought from eTrailer a set of RRVA137S-2 Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars Aluminum - Silver - 54 Long - Qty 2. My Thule Proride XT bike rack roof brackets see here: https://www.etrailer.com/p-1500052940.html do not fit around the crossbars. What accessory would you suggest so that I can attach the bike rack to the crossbars? Thank you. Brian

Thank you for the info! The Thule ProRide XT Roof Bike Rack # TH598004 fits crossbars up to 3-1/8". The Rhino-Rack Crossbars # RRVA137S-2 have a width of 3-1/8". These two parts have been confirmed to fit, so you shouldn't have any issues with the clamp fitting around the crossbars. However, fortunately there is another way to mount your Thule bike rack onto the Rhino-Rack crossbars. The Thule # TH598004 has T bolts that will slide into the top track of the Rhino-Rack # RRVA137S-2 Crossbars. You do not need to use the clamping method.
I have attached an installation video for the Thule # TH598004 which goes over this mounting process.
