Difference Between Aeroblade Edge and Wingbar Edge Thule Roof Rack 2009 Honda Pilot

Question:

Hi, I have a 2009 Honda Pilot with factory raised rails going from to back. Im looking to get some Thule roof crossbars. The suggestions on the site are for wingbar evo crossbars with raised rail feets. I was originally planning on getting the Aeroblade Blade Edge. Do those NOT fit my car? Thanks!

Thule actually phased out the Aeroblade Edge roof rack and replaced it with the Wingbar Edge which is a similar but improved design. For your 2009 Honda Pilot the Wingbar Edge rack you'd need is the part # TH69FE and # TH69SC.

The Wingbar Edge has a rubber strip that presses down in the top channel which is much easier to use than the Aeroblade setup that required pulling out that strip and cutting it.
