For the clamp-on attachment method of the Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier # RR576, they are not large enough to clamp around the 3-1/8" wide x 1-1/8" tall dimensions of the Thule AeroBlades like the TH7602-TH7602. In order to accommodate the height of the AeroBlades, you need to purchase the longer bolts that come with the adapter kit # HD-FK1.

As for the channel-mount option, roof rack and roof rack accessory manufacturers do not typically test their products on top channels of competitors. However, even though we cannot confirm for sure, we have had accessories from a different brand that have fit top channels of competitor crossbars.

If you are set on using the channel mounts on the AeroBlades, an option that will absolutely fit the channels is the Thule SnowPack Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking # TH7326B. The SnowPack provides you with the same 6 paris of skis/4 board capacity as the # RR576. It also comes with locks for theft-deterrence as well.
