Replacement Rubber Strip for Thule Aero Load Bars 47"

just put these on, they pushed in place easy enough, I expected a little resistance and everything fit well. Looks good too, I tried to measure my bars to get the right size but then did not see what I thought was the correct size listed so I bought some strips that were a little longer than what I thought was correct and these were only about 1" longer than the bar and easy to trim to fit after installation. Thanks. 923714

a little tight to fit into the grooves of the roof rack, though it is the same shape/size of my original. so maybe has to see some weather to loosen up over time. 923029

Easy install, fit great, oem look, and had a ton of grip even in the wet conditions 919718

Rubber is thicker then original but fits perfectly. In my opinion it’s better as it absorbs more weight when my roof basket is fully loaded. In reviews I read about noise complaints but that’s not the case with my volvo original load bars. Shipping was earlier delivered then promised so two thumbs up for that. Very happy with the product and i would definitely recommend this. 912706

Perfect fit for OEM 2009 Porsche Cayenne cross bars. Thank you! 912676

Nice rubber infill piece matched up great on my 2020 Corolla hatchback oem crossbars. 908487

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

My old rubber cushion started coming off and wouldn't stay in place so I ordered these to replace the original one. They work perfectly 639698

Outstanding service. Received items really fast. Thank you 636687

Thanks 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

Very good 497600

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

Holding up well. Great replacement for original strips. 418443

great price and quick delivery! 407457

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

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
