Longer Thule Crossbars that Can Fit on 33 inch Wide Thule Rapid Feet

Question:

What is the minimum width my Rapid Podium feet can be set at to install the 60inch Squarebar Evos? My feet sit 33inch apart in the tracks on my Snugtop Rebel camper shell. I know that because Thule uses cutout channels on the underside of the bars to install onto the feet there is a minimum width the feet need to be spaced? If the 60inch bars will not fit within the 33inch my feet are at, will another length bar work? Thank you,

I have a Thule solution that will work but the mounting tracks on the Thule square bars do not run anywhere near the length of the bar to allow a 60 inch bar to fit on feet that are only 33 inches apart. But Thule does have their ProBars like the part # TH713600 which is a set of two 69 inch bars that do have tracks that run the full length of the bars. This would fit your setup currently and would work great.
