Originally ordered a Yakima system, but availability everywhere was virtually nil. Switched to Thule and ran into some of the same shortages with the supply chain, likely due to Covid. Took about a week to receive and it was the perfect part for my BMW X3.



by:

Website is easy to use & is better at putting together the correct package than Thule’s site.
etrailer had all the parts in stock for my 2020 Kia Telluride.
Payment process was simple.
Received periodic updates from staffer on my order & could actually reply if needed.
Installing the roof rack went well. Estimate start to finish was about 2 hours. Found it best to really examine each diagram in Thule’s step by step instructions to get it all right on the first try.
Hardness part of the installation was getting the crossbars installed at the proper distances. A tailor’s soft measuring tape & some masking were great aids.



by:

After searching unsuccessfully for support in the retrofit of my legacy Thule rack to a new car, I was pleased by the excellent support from Bailey B. She was methodical in her query and verification of compatibility in my non-standard application. The rack



by:

Assembled the feet this morning and clamped to the rails on my 2024 Mazda CX-30. Everything thing looked good. I wish they a seal for each of the slots in the bottom of the square rails to keep the water out when it rains. Don’t want them rusting. I’ve used Thule racks for a lot of years and have sealed the end caps to keep the moisture out. Worked out really well



by:

I opted to buy from etrailer instead of going direct. My foot pack and fit kit shipped very quickly and arrived in only a few days. This is the second time I’ve used them and both experiences have been great.



by:

Very pleased with order. Shipped fast, not damaged, all parts accounted for. Easy install, very sturdy, and attractive design. Slight wind noise but that was expected compared to not having a roof rack.



by:

Easy to install; is strong fit;



by:

Easy to install, took less than 30 min.
Perfect fit on a Volvo V60 CC.
No issues with a "trunk" mounted bike carrier secured to the rear bar. Yakima Frontloader also fit perfectly.



by:

Everything fit like a charm!



by:

Thule has great products, hands down, but Andy from etrailer and etrailer as a company are the best! Andy was so helpful, it was like talking to an old friend.



by:

We bought a new vehicle that we already had several Thule accessories for. Purchased the fit kit for our 2021 Tahoe along with the Flush Rail feet and they fit perfectly. This product title says “EVO” but it also fits “EDGE”. I hope etrailer fixes this because it was confusing trying to find the “EDGE” fit kit which doesn’t exist.



by:

Perfect fit and easy installation. Highly recommend for a lower profile rack. Also allows sunroof to vent on 2016 Lexus RX350. Haven’t driven with them on yet so I don’t know how road noise is at this time.



by:

there were minor changes to the fit kit i already had for the lexus ...seems like the Jeep fit kit could have worked with just the 4 plates and 8 screws rather than replacing the other 16 pieces. But it did install easily with a solid/firm fit.



by:

Exactly what I needed



by:

Thule rack looks great on my Kia Telluride. The pieces took a while to get to me because they were on backorder but it's not etrailer, they were on backorder everywhere. I messed up a piece of the rubber while installing and etrailer sent me another one free of charge. Would definitely recommend etrailer.



by:

Easy to order online with very prompt s hipping.



by:

Great roof cross bars for the Lexus RX450h ! Better and beefier than the OEM cross bars. Yes, these are more expensive (wish they weren't! Locks should be included in the base cost) They are solid and planted the XXL roof carrier with ease. Took a bit to center the roof carrier- so we could open the rear door without crashing into it. Only took a 3 mpg hit with the racks and carrier on the roof (@ +5 mph over speed limit on the highway) I really like the way they look on the vehicle. We're probably going to keep them up for snowboarding season. Keep in mind once they're initially installed- they're a snap to take down as well.I made a mark on the inside on the rails to make reinstalling easier.



by:

Amazing roof rack. Integrates well with the Tahoe. Looks great and allows a cargo box and a long board to be mounted side by side.



by:

As always, etrailer for the win. Excellent service,part arrived quickly - just in time for a last minute road trip.



by:

This kit fit perfectly for my Jeep Grand Cherokee. It was a easy install. Enerything was included, including the torque "wrench" that was needed.



by:

When a last-minute change to our travel plans required the addition of a rooftop carrier for additional luggage the team at etrailer was there to get me the required items in time for our departure. I am very appreciative of the above and beyond effort made by the etrailer team!



by:

It took me a VERY long time to figure out what I needed to mount my Hullivator on my 22 Subaru Outback Limited. I bought the wrong parts on round 1, and finally after 2 yrs of frustration, asked AI what I needed. I don't entirely trust AI, but it got me on the right track. I asked the 'chat' person on etrailer about the AI suggestion, and the gal who helped me, Autumn, said the feet part was correct, but to use this fit kit. I ordered it immediately. Today was the day. Of note, this fit kit has specific parts for the front and rear passenger side and front and rear driver side. Pay attention to the photo directions!! The parts are different for each side. On my Outback, they mount at 69cm apart. The cladding and design of the Outback roof system leaves much to be desired, but this worked and I'm looking forward to FINALLY using my Hullivator.



by:

Easy set up, great roof rack. One small problem with installing the rubber strips, piece would not lay flush..



by:

Etrailer is the best! Great products and service!! Highly recommended.



by:

Perfect fit and easy install for my SQ5

  • Can Just Feet and Fit Kit of Thule WingBar Evo Kit TH72SG Be Purchased?
    Hey James, Yes you can purchase just the feet of the Thule Wingbar Evo Kit # TH72SG for your 2025 Audi Q5, though you'll need the specific fit kit for your car too: Feet # TH710601 Fit Kit # TH186045 Keep in mind for your car you'll have to use 50" WingBar Evo bars, if thats not what your old car used, you'll need the whole kit # TH72SG. What do you plan on putting on your roof rack?

  • Recommended Thule Roof Rack for Carrying Motion XT Cargo Box on a 2018 Audi Q5
    For your application I recommend using the WingBar Evo over the WingBar Edge to carry the Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box # TH629906 on your 2018 Audi Q5. I personally like the idea of having a bit more roof rack real estate in case you want to use the roof rack for other things in the future. The Edge looks a little more OEM but you only get 37-1/2" of crossbar instead of 50" like what we find with the Evo. Either roof rack will work just fine and the wind noise is going to be the same...

  • 2020 Audi Q5 What Can I Do If OEm Crossbars Are Not Level?
    All of the roof racks we carry for your vehicle will use the same tower assembly for all four towers. For example the Thule roof rack consisting of the Wingbars # TH711320, Foot pack # TH710601 and fit kit # TH186045. All four of the # TH710601 towers are the same height. So if the curvature of the roof causes the OEM crossbars to be slightly uneven, this will also be the case with an aftermarket roof rack. Unfortunately there is no work around.

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2018 Audi Q5 for Attaching Thule Hullavator
    The Thule Wingbar Evo roof rack for your 2018 Audi Q5 part numbers # TH711320, # TH710601, and # TH186045 would be the best for attaching the Thule Hullavator # TH898 to. The Hullavator would easily fit into the top channels of the Wingbars for a clean and solid connection.

  • Which Roof Rack And Spare Tire Carrier To Clear Tailgate On 2018 Audi Q5
    We definitely have an option to get you a full size spare tire carrier and roof rack that will clear the tailgate on your 2018 Audi Q5! I recommend the Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack System which will use Thule WingBar Evo 47" Aluminum Crossbars # TH711220, Thule Evo Flush Rail Feet # TH710601, and Custom Fit Kit # TH186045. This is a great light weight system that offers a 165lb weight capacity and is confirmed to fit your Audi Q5. I recommend adding the Thule One Key Lock Cores # TH450400...

  • Recommended Roof Rack for 2018 Audi Q5 with Panoramic Sunroof
    The excellent Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack, which consists of # TH711220 for the two 47 inch WingBar Load Bars, # TH710601 for the Foot Pack, and # TH186045 for the Fit Kit, is actually confirmed to fit your 2018 Audi Q5. While the roof rack will install without issue with the Audi's panoramic sunroof, it is not recommend to operate the sunroof with the crossbars attached. This is really the case with any roof rack system. This is especially true if you have any mounted accessories like...

  • Will the Thule Circuit XT TH526XT Fit AeroBlade Edge Bars on a 2018 Audi Q5
    The Thule Circuit XT TH526XT was a clamp-on style bike rack that fits a crossbar that has max dimensions of 3-1/4" wide x 1-1/2" tall. Since Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack Bars TH7603B-TH7603B are 3-1/8" wide x 1-1/8" tall your bike racks will fit just fine. This roof rack is compatible with your 2018 Audi Q5 when you use the Fit Kit 4078 which has been discontinued. If you would like locks that use the same key for the crossbars and the bike racks then you need the Thule One-Key System...

  • Parts Needed for Thule Roof Rack to Fit 2018 Audi Q5
    If you have at least 47" WingBar Evo bars, like part # TH711200 or # TH711220, then all you need to complete the roof rack system on your 2018 Audi Q5 is the Foot Pack # TH710601, and Fit Kit # TH186045. You might be able to get by with using slightly longer crossbars but since the opening on the underside of the WingBar crossbars doesn't run completely from one side to the other you won't be able to go with much longer bars.

  • Thule Wingbar Evo Roof Rack Components that Fit 2023 Audi Q5
    The Thule components needed for an Wingbar Evo roof rack for your 2023 Audi Q5 are part # TH711300, # TH710601, # TH186045. The parts from your 2015 AllRoad are part # TH711220 and # TH710401 which would indicate you'll need an all new rack setup most likely but your slightly shorter bars most likely would work although it's not recommended length. So there's a good chance all you need is the part # TH710601 and # TH186045.

  • Will Older Hullavator 897XT Fit on 2019 Audi SQ5?
    It sounds like you have the older Hullavator 897XT which was replaced by the Thule Hullavator Pro # TH898. As for if it will fit your new 2019 Audi SQ5, the answer is YES! What the Hullavator needs is around 28-1/2" inches of bar space and a roof rack with a good amount of weight capacity to handle the rack's 41 lbs plus up to 75 lbs of kayak. With the older Hullavator 897XT, you would need the watersports adapter # THXADAPT11 to work with T-track bars. If you do not yet have a roof rack...

  • Can I Fit 2 Thule Hullavators # TH898 on the Roof of My 2019 Audi Q5?
    I have a great solution for carrying your 2 kayaks. If you have a factory roof rack on your 2019 Audi Q5, you will not have enough weight capacity in order to transport the 40-pound (each pair) Thule Hullavators # TH898. I did some research on the weight capacity of the factory roof rack on your vehicle, and you only have 165 pounds of capacity. You will be at 80 pounds with the 2 Hulavators mounted, which leaves only 85 pounds for your 2 additional kayaks. Sadly, even if you have flush...

  • Will The SportRack Skyline XL Cargo Carrier Fit A 2018 Audi SQ5?
    The SportRack SkyLine XL Cargo Box - Roof Mount # SR29ZR that you mentioned will work just fine with your 2018 Audi SQ5! This cargo carrier will work with round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory crossbars. For a crossbar recommendation, I recommend taking a look at the: -Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum # TH711200, with the feet # TH710601, and the fit kit # TH186045. These bars are quiet, aerodynamic, low-profile with a maximum capacity of 220-lbs, and measures 47"...

  • Will Thule WingBar Evo Impede Use of Sunroof on 2024 Audi SQ5
    You will see the crossbars with the panoramic sunroof on your 2024 Audi SQ5 but it will not interfere with its functionality. For the complete roof rack you will need the following: -Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 47" Long - Qty 2 # TH711220 (black) or # TH711200 (silver) -Evo Flush Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars - Flush Side Rails - Qty 4 # TH710601 -Fit Kit for Thule Evo Flush Rail and Edge Flush Rail Roof Rack Feet - 6045 # TH186045

  • Flush Mounted Roof Rack for 2018 Audi Q5
    Roof racks are custom fits for vehicles, and the Thule rack you mentioned is an entire kit and won't fit on your 2018 Audi Q5, although there is a rack with the same style which does. So long as you have flush-mounted rails there is a rack from Inno which has crossbars match the width of your Audi's roof: - Inno Aero Crossbars # INXB100-108 - Inno Flush Feet for Aero Crossbars - Flush Side Rails # INXS400 - Custom Fit Kit for Inno # INTR138 For a Thule roof rack, they have a style where...

  • Will I be Able to Mount Accessories to the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars without Detaching the Feet?
    Never fear! You will be able to keep the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711300 installed on your 2018 Audi Q5 when mounting accessories (such as ski holders, bike racks, etc.). You will not have to detach the feet any time during the process. For a complete setup, you will need to following parts in addition to the WingBar Evo crossbars: - Evo Flush Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars - Flush Side Rails # TH710601 - Fit Kit for Thule Evo Flush Roof Rack Feet - 186045 # TH186045 - Thule One-Key...

  • Thule Roof Rack Recommendation for 2018 Audi Q5
    For your for your 2018 Audi Q5 we have the Thule WingBar system consisting of # TH711420, # TH710601, and # TH186045, and you can then use # TH450400 for locks to deter theft and protect your investment. With this rack (and all other roof racks) you'll have to keep the sunroof closed at all times when the rack is installed. Even if you could open the sunroof you wouldn't want to since it would cause quite a bit of wind noise.
