These Thule SquareBar Evo crossbars are built from galvanized steel for reliable strength and support. With a 220-lb weight capacity, they’re ready for the kind of gear that makes trips more fun—kayaks, canoes, or cargo boxes loaded for a long haul. The polymer coating gives extra grip so your load stays steady and helps protect the bars from corrosion over time.
The complete setup includes two 60"-long SquareBars and four Evo Raised Rail feet. The system installs directly onto raised rails for a secure custom fit. Once tightened down, the whole setup feels solid and stable—no shifting or wobble when you’re driving on the highway or rolling down backroads with your gear on top.
When you’re parked at a trailhead or campsite, you can add Thule One-Key System locks (sold separately) to deter theft of the rack. It’s a simple way to keep your investment protected and give you a little extra peace of mind during every adventure stop.
The steel construction and black polymer coating stand up well to weather, road grime, and frequent use. Between the sturdy build and Thule’s limited lifetime warranty, these SquareBar Evos are made to handle years of hauling without giving up their reliability or good looks.
Ratings & Reviews
Worked flawlessly on my suv. Securely attached my sea kayak to my existing roof rails.
Ordering was simple and any questions I had were answered quickly. Items arrived on time as promised
Installation instructions were clear enough, but no text (Ikea-like). The video instructions on etrailer.com REALLY helped, showing the products as well as the surprisingly easy install. These feet feel solid (as a rock). We'll see how they do when we go camping next weekend! Thanks, etrailer staff and user-reviews!
Excellent Quality and was Easy to install the locks (purchased separately)!
Swapping lock cylinders with the Thule system is easy. I have several Thule products including bike rake with built in lock, locking cross bars for our cars, cargo box, and bought cylinders and the Change Key to replace cylinders so I only need one key for all our Thule products. etrailer delivered them fast.
My order was processed very quickly and shipped in a timely manner. Everything arrived in great shape. I am pairing my Thule crossbar kit with a Thule Force XT cargo box to increase my capacity for hauling camping gear for a family of 4 in a 2019 Subaru Forester. The installation and product review videos on your website are very helpful.
The Thule Evo Rail feet with 60" wing bars are an excellent choice for folks who routinely transport bulky equipment on their vehicle rooftops. The instructions for mounting were straightforward and easy (especially with the installation video link). I had to extend the slots under each wingbar to make them fit my 2004 Dodge Durango roof rails, but besides that, I'm thoroughly happy with the product. Do order the key locks separately, as they do not come with the feet.
The product was delivered quickly and it was easy to set up. Thank you
Installed these with the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars on a Mercedes GLS 450 SUV. It was a pretty quick install however, they impede the panoramic sunroof from opening. The locks that come with are plastic and they're okay, but I'd recommend getting the metal locks that you can order separately for more security. They do make a whistling sound when driving, but it's not loud enough for me to care. All in all, these are great.
Bought these for our Jeep Cherokee but they struggle to fit the wider rails on the vehicle. Have to lubricant these to slide on. Often the boot come off when removing them or just transporting them from storage to the vehicle. I wish the locked cover was made of something stronger since someone could easily break the plastic and use a Allen wrench to remove them rack and what’s mounted to it. Otherwise I’m happy with these. I like the size and torque limiting features of the included wrench
I really like the included tool used for tightening to the roof rails. I have a tendency to over tighten things and this tool prevents that from happening.
Beware of purchases from Etrailer...they offer no returns on opened products. So might say well you could just use and return it...true, but in this case the wind noise is horrific on my Jeep Wrangler and made a two hour ride nearly unbearable. The Thule cross bars are way too loud. They offer no aerodynamics whatsoever.
I needed to update the feet for my Thule areo blade cross bars. With ease I was able to swap the feet and transfer the locs to the new feet. The install was super easy. Finding the right product was a breez with a quick email to Etrailer customer service.

If you haven't been able to find it, we carry the replacement - part # TH49VW. One of the nice things about Thule is that almost every part is replaceable. :)
It's a simple item just bars. They arrived bent. but not so bad to go through the hassle to return them.
I’ve been searching for a set of crossbars for my 2021 Crosstrek. After looking at several different companys,, I decided to go with etrailer.com and get the Thule Wingbar Evo Crossbars and Evo Raised feet. Ordering was quick and shipping was even faster! Installed them in about an hour with no issues. I love the way they look, and the construction is solid. Shout out to the staff for doing a great job and for the great communication from placing the order, confirmation, updates and shipping the order. You will not be disappointed!
I went with this Rola Vortex Cargo Rack with extension for its size and multiple tie down points. I Paired it with the Thule 5 inch rapid gutter feet with square bars because:
To remove the freedom panels.
Square bars are stronger than Aero type bars.
Adjustability of fitment as the roof of the Jeep narrows toward the rear.
When loaded for camping, I want to maintain rearward vision.
Finally, the system met my load requirements. I had weighed the gear that will go onto the rack. And I am at OME specs.
I did not want to use the gutter of the freedom panels to carry weight. Since the panels are removable, it seemed to be a potential weak point structurally.
NOTES:
Because this Rola rack comes in sections, I do not recommend it for “Overlanding”.
And because it comes in sections, some weather proofing is needed. I coated the cargo rack guides with an anti seize grease. The bolts of the cargo clamps should be weather proofed as well.
Over time, the screws will need to be replaced. They will rust.
CONCLUSION
Overall I am happy with this set up. Should work well for general camping and hold up to the easier off road trails. If your plans are to Overland for weeks at a time in all weather conditions on moderate to difficult trails having off camber conditions, then this rack may be problematic over time. And may cause damage to the roof top.
Perfect fit and the installation video made it extremely easy for me to follow
Perfect fit! Thanks for helping me complete my project!.
This is my first Thule product but not my last. etrailer was great to deal with the videos on how to install the product were so helpful. Between etrailer's help and all the reviews that other people had purchased and posted made this a very pleasant purchase and install. I highly recommend etrailer and the complete Thule WingBar system including the keylocks that worked perfectly. I typically don't write reviews but this one was worth doing.
Thule IS in my opinion the Best in Rack systems. There very well made and are pretty stout for my application with a roof basket. 52” X 80” Money well spent!! Thank You etrailer for The Best Service!
Thanks to etrailer.com, I found out these crossbar systems are just bags of interchangeable parts! So glad I didn’t toss my 2019 53” crossbars when they started whistling (Screeching!) at speeds above 45 mph. I had them removed from my ProMaster City van when I couldn’t stand it any more. Luckily i did some research and took them totally apart. The old raised rail feet were pretty trashed, but was able to clean the bars up and reuse the existing end caps and locks. The video instructions on etrailer.com were invaluable, and I was able to find the exact parts I needed. My 2019 crossbar system is like new at a fraction of the price id have paid for a new system!
Had to return these cause they wouldn’t fit on the Prologue at all, but the service is good and e-trailer is accepting them back
I had my old feet from my Jeep Cherokee on my Jeep Compass and realize they were not secure. So now I have the right feet on my car,

The raised feet help to bring the crossbars up in height so that when we haul our canoe it does not hit the top of the car. We are still enjoying the car now that it is accessorized.
