Adding Thule SquareBar Evos to a 2018 Toyota RAV4

Question

Question:

Need help finding an accessory part for a Thule roof rack. We recently got a 2018 Toyota RAV4 with Roof Rails. I bought the Raised Rail System, but not the cross bars, thinking the square bars from by prior gutter mount system would fit on the Raised Rail System. They don’t. Appears I need bars with a “slot” in the bottom to fit into the Raised Rail Mount. Do you sell the bars only? I will be using to transport a canoe, so the square bar system is preferred, which provide a flat base for the canoe gunnels to rest.

It sounds like you may have bought the Evo Raised Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars, part # TH710401, for your 2018 Toyota RAV4. If this is not what you have, let me know and I will adjust the answer below.

If this is what you have, then you can definitely get crossbars to fit them. We have the 50" SquareBar Evos, part # TH712300. They fit the Evo Raised Rail Feet and combined, they give you a 165" capacity. I've linked to a video review of this setup for you to look at.
