Question:

i ordered 2 sets of xadapt2 for my old thule 594xt to mount to my new aerowing bar t-track but im not sure this is the right fit in contrast to what your website recommended. There is only one screw to attach the front end to the rack. I do not think its safe to hold it with just one screw. Please let me know if there is other way to do it with this kit on hand, if there is none, i would like to return my orders. Thank you

Expert Reply:

I reached out to Thule directly and was informed that # THXadapt9 is the only confirmed fit for attaching your Thule 594xt to t track bars, but will only allow for the rear to be attached to the t tracks. Thule's recommendation to keep using your Thule 594xt is to go back to a square bar setup.

If you can let me know what the make and model of your vehicle is I would be happy to recommend the right Thule square bar rack.

Another option is the Thule ProRide XT Roof Bike Rack # TH598004 which is made to fit into the t-track of your aero bars. I attached a video review of the Thule ProRide XT # TH598004 for you.
