Is There A Thule Roof Rack For A 2022 Toyota Highlander W/ Flush Rails

Question

Question:

Hi, I just bought a 2022 Highlander with Flush Rail. I have AeroBlade Load Bar with clamps working for a bare roof like the one on VW CC. Thule doesnt officially have a product for 2022 Highlander with Flush Rail. I am wondering if there is anyway I can use my load bar on the Highlander? 1. Can I buy a Thule Flush Rail Evo foot set and mount on the Highlander? 2. If 1 doesnt work, is it possible to use the Thule load bar with Yakima mounts? I know Yakima having a roof rack system for the Highlander. Thanks,

I do have a solution for you, but you will not be able to reuse your Thule AeroBlade. Until Thule has a fit for your 2022 Toyota Highlander, you will not be able to use your Thule AeroBlade. Unfortunately, Yakima and Thule roof racks are not compatible with each other, only their accessories are compatible. You will be able to use a Yakima roof rack instead. The Yakima rack will consist of the following items:

Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 50" Long - Qty 2, part # Y00425
SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Fixed Mounting Points, Flush Rails, and Track Systems - Qty 4, part # Y53TR
Landing Pad 28 for Yakima SkyLine And Control Towers - Qty 4, part # Y66VR
Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores (QTY 4), part # Y07204

I have included product description links and a video of this rack being installed on a 2021 Toyota Highlander below.
