Will Old Thule Square Cross Bars Work on a 2021 Infiniti QX50

Question:

Good morning, I have an Infiniti QX50 2021 with flushed roof rails. On my 2012 Murano I had a raised rail and was using the square bars. Is it possible to use those squares and buy only the feet that will install to the flush rails? Or will this require me to purchase a whole new outfit? Thanks for all the help.

In most cases when customers have square crossbars, they are the older Thule style which unfortunately have been discontinued and there's no way to use them on newer vehicles as Thule has changed the feet design since then and stopped producing fit kits for them for newer vehicles. If this isn't what you have just let me know but I think now might be a good time for an upgrade to aero crossbars which are more widely compatible with different accessories and much quieter out on the highway. They will also do better fuel economy wise. The Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack part # MPG215 is a great cost effective option for this and it comes with locks for security.
