great price and quick delivery! 407457
Product was exactly as specified and was shipped quickly. It fit perfectly into my Thule Aero Bars rack and actually fit more snugly than the manufacturer's rubber strip. The Thule strip was too loose and came off while I was driving so I had to buy a replacement and this works perfectly. Excellent service by etrailer! 472451
Nice to be able to get a replacement somewhere since thule does not sell these. Word of warning, these are smooth and do not have the raised ridged the thule originals do. 90571
There's no noticeable sound difference between the ridged strips and smooth strips. There may be a difference in a sound lab test, but we have not seen a difference when driving in a car or SUV. Just to clarify, Thule used the smooth strips with the older Aero bars and they use the ridged strips with the current Aero Blade bars.

Patrick B - 4/23/2014Thanks for reaching out and letting me know the Thule strips got delivered. I have to say I’m extremely disappointed with these and would like to return them. I have Thule aeroblades and have had them for probably about 5 years on my car. The old inserts have seen better days because of loading racks and baskets. So I ordered a replacement set from you. But your insert strips are made differently and cause AWFUL wind noise when installed. The hum starts around 30mph and goes well past 50mph. These shouldn’t be sold as replacements because any Thule areoblade owner knows they’re quiet load bars. (We paid for quiet in our original purchase so we wouldn’t have to hear the dreaded hum). Please let me know how to return these. ??????? I’ve attached a picture so you can see Thule insert strips compared to what you sell. (Thule original on the right. Notice the textured pattern.) 606194
Heather A - 02/19/2019Does its function. The profile is slightly different (bulkier) than the original band, but it doesn't affect function. Please note that these bands sell individually, so if you want both bars covered, you need to order two - I actually mistakenly ordered only one. 284197
I ordered this item to replace the rubber strip on my Saab Sportcombi's roof rack. It didn't fit exactly in the rack rail groove but still close enough to the originals that it should work. Thank you for being a dependable resource for hard to find parts. The package arrived in an expedient amount of time. 340728
FYI, these fit INNO Aero Bars nicely - as long as you remove the gap filler rubber. Slightly short for my 48" bar as expected, but worked great with a little stretch. The Yakima version wouldn't stay seated at all. 892510

Holding up well. Great replacement for original strips. 418443
The rubber strips on my Thule Aero Bars were pretty beat up after years of canoe-carrying, so I ordered these new ones, which came quickly and were exactly the right ones. 335663
Great product, great fit. Definitely a must have for those of us who have to cut our strips to put on attachments. 297003
Thank you. I have ordered from you twice now and the shipment was fast and the item I ordered was just as you advertise. I love it!! Thank you 296333
Works fine, with solid fit. Please remember each order is for one bar, you'll most likely need two, if you want to replace it in both bars. 288850
Fit great. Works as expected. 287128
