Sorry to hear about your issue!

As far as the recommended distance between the WingBar Evo crossbars # TH711220, Thule recommends approximately 27-1/2 inches (700mm) of crossbar spread between the front of the front crossbar to the front of the back crossbar. I went ahead and attached a diagram that shows this recommendation.

The crossbar spread is important because the rear crossbar will receive a different amount of wind resistance based on the distance apart.
