Speaker 1: Today, on our 2013 Dodge Journey, we're going to be test fitting the Thule AeroBlade Edge roof rack system for factory raised side rails, consisting of part numbers TH7502-TH7503. This rack is also available in black, as part numbers TH7502B - TH 7503B. The Thule AeroBlade Edge roof rack system is great for carrying a wide variety of accessories on your roof, to free up space inside your vehicle. This can carry cargo baskets, cargo boxes, and kayak carriers as well. The edges also offer a more factory style look to it, without having the bars that go past the actual mounts themselves.However, this can be a little bit of a hindrance, as you can only really put accessories from this point here to the same point on the other side. With the end caps, they are removable, and they have these knockouts where you can replace it with a Thule Lock Core system to secure it to your factory raised side rails. more

Another nice feature about it, it has this cap that simply opens up to do this. Other roof rack systems, you'd have to remove this end cap completely.With the 2 bars you can have a carrying capacity of 165 lbs, but you always want to double check with your vehicle's manual to make sure your roof can withstand those weights.With the Airflow2, you'll have two styles of locking end caps, so once it's installed, it's secured to your factory side rails, with one we'll have just simply a locking end cap. more
