Are All Thule Square Bars And Roof Clips Compatible With Previous Years?
Question:
Are squarebar bare roof clips compatible with all models from previous years? Or are the specific to each model?
asked by: Mike H
Expert Reply:
No, fit kit clips vary among vehicles and generations of square bars so they do not fit all models from previous years. Also, Thule has changed the square bar design throughout the years and now they mount via a bottom channel, whereas in the past they were secured by a clamp that was fitted around the bars.
The best route would be for you to provide your vehicle's year, make, and model so that I can match up a roof rack for you. You can also provide information on any parts you currently have so I can verify if there is a way to use them on your current vehicle.
