I Have Thule Rapid Podium Feet, What Else Do I Need For My 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE

Question:

Will the Thule Rapid Podium work with my Yakima Jet Stream bars? I have a Mercedes and like the Thule mount better, but dont want to have to buy new cross bars if I dont have to. Thanks

You will need to go with a Yakima rack or a Thule rack. The Thule Rapid Podium Feet, part # TH460R, are not compatible with the Yakima JetStream crossbars. Only their accessories, Thule and Yakima, are compatible with the other's roof rack. If you prefer a Thule setup, you will need to get crossbars. You will need the following items to complete your rack:

Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 53" Long - Qty 2, part # TH711420
Fit Kit for Thule Podium-Style Roof Rack Feet - 3152, part # THKIT3152
Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders - Qty 4, part # TH450400

This rack will have a maximum weight limit of 165 lbs. I also included the Thule One-Key System lock cylinders so you can secure this rack to your vehicle.

I have attached product description links and video review links below.
