What All Is Needed To Install The Thule WingBar Evo On My 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee?

Question:

I recently acquired the Thule Wingbar 711420 crossbars from a different website as they made me believe it was a full roof rack system. It clearly is not now that I have just the bars. With that said, I no longer trust them and hopefully you guys can get me what I need. So a couple questions, are these even the correct bars for my 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee? If not, what do you recommend? If they are, what else do I need to get them installed? My Jeep has black and chrome rails on the roof, but it doesn't look like the crossbars have a way to attach to them without other bits, which is contrary to what I was originally told. Sigh. Thanx for any help you can provide.

I will start by saying the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 53" Long # TH711420 are indeed the correct crossbars for your 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee, so you are 1/3 of the way to a full roof rack already. You are also correct in that you will need a few more parts to get them attached to those black and chrome bars on your roof.

This is actually a very quick and easy process though, as there are fixed mounting points on these bars. With that said, the Fit Kit # THKIT3142 will attach directly to these points which gets the Rapid Podium Feet # TH460R secured in place. The # TH711420 crossbars will attach directly to these feet and now you will have your full Thule roof rack. We also have an install video of this exact system being installed on a 2021 Grand Cherokee, so I included that below for you to check out as well. It will make the install a breeze.
