Secure, Clamp-On Installation
To complete installation, place the fully assembled rack on your flush rails and tighten the rack in place with the torque tool included with the feet. The inner and outer clips in each foot tighten with a single mounting bolt to ensure an even, secure grip on your rails. An audible click from the torque tool indicates the rack is secured properly.
Protection for Your Rails
The rubber-coated steel clips and molded rubber pads protect your side rails from scratches and abrasions. The pads easily slide onto the bottoms of each foot, and they're designed to fit the shape and contour of your vehicle's flush rails.

Hey, neighbors, how's it going This is Ed here with etrailer.com and today we're gonna take a look at the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack for our 2024 Hyundai Palisade. Now, when you add a roof rack to your vehicle, what that does for you, it allows you to increase your cargo area by taking advantage of the negative space on top of your vehicle. So let's take a quick look at some of the features and how it works on our vehicle. As far as our bars, these are going to go 50 inches across and it's gonna give you the adjustability to kind of have hangover if you need it, if you had, like, a awning or something like that, or a road shower. You also can attach those T channel track items using the track that's included. A cool feature on this, it comes with rubber insulation that's gonna basically cut the wind, and the design of it itself is similar to a airplane's wing.
All these things are to help cut down on that wind noise that you're gonna experience. If you look at your towers here, these guys right here are gonna give you a nice low-profile, at the same time, giving you a secure connection between the rooftop and your bar. Out the box, you're gonna have these plastic knockout locks. But if you wanted to go for extra security, you can add on the Thule lock cores and have your Thule accessories, like your rooftop boxes or bike carriers, all keyed alike. The pad right on top of our flush-mounted rails, this guy is rubberized and it's gonna allow you to have that seal with the top of the roof.
If you make sure that you don't have any gaps, this is another way to reduce wind noise when you're going down the road. But as you see, that's a super tight fit, almost custom. As far as the setup on this. Only thing that you're really gonna need is a tape measure. You're gonna have an included tool from Thule.
Now, as far as what this does for you, it helps get that issue of, how can I increase my cargo area out the way so you can really get down to making memories. And speaking of memories, it'd be cool if you sent the photo in and added it below, showing us how you're gonna use your crossbars. Now, as far as the installation, grab your tape measure and we'll get this guy installed. I went ahead and installed my rear crossbar just to get a feel for the installation, and it's pretty straightforward. You're gonna start with removing your end cap, so you can easily add on your tower.
You wanna make sure that you have the bolt end pointing away from the inside. That way, you can make your adjustments and add on your hardware. Also, if you have your measurement, you can use the included strip here to set it to the measurement for your cross spread. And from here, you're gonna have to pay attention to your parts. You have the A bracket where the two hooks are gonna go into your tower with the bolt coming through. From here, you're gonna put on your rubber pad on the bottom, and you're gonna have little notches that are gonna align with the holes at the bottom of the foot. And this is just gonna give you that overall grip. And then you're gonna add part C to the top of the clamp A. Now you just have your hole sticking through and you're gonna use your bolt here and just start the threading from here. So now you have your assembly put together and this is gonna clamp around your flush rails. So now we're gonna head to the top of the vehicle and place it on top. Now, I already went ahead and figured out where I wanted my spread, so I'm just gonna rest it across on my other rail here. And we're gonna drop this guy into place. And you're gonna notice that your hardware right here is just gonna wrap around the raised rail and grip along the side. Now we're gonna use our included torque wrench to get this guy fastened down. Now, before you actually go 100% down, where you getting your clicks, you wanna make sure that you have your crossbar even on the roof and you want to go from side to side as you tighten, just to make sure that you're not gonna have any pull from one side or the other. And now I don't have to worry about overtightening 'cause my tool tells me right where to stop. And then we're gonna put our cap on our tower here. Once we have all that secured, we're good to go and ready for our adventure. These guys are aluminum, so they're lightweight and they're gonna be rustproof out in the real world and at the same time, super easy to install. I've used these guys a couple times on my personal vehicle and I found them to be pretty quiet, so you really can't go wrong going with the WingBar from Thule. So again, this is Ed with etrailer.com taking a look at the Thule WingBar on our 2024 Hyundai Palisade. Have a great day.

Ratings & Reviews
This is a very solid and high-quality rack that's resistant to the elements. The crossbars are both functional and very stylish!
Imagine that…. Easy step by step instructions!!! Had it assembled and on the car in under an hour. Great product, great quality!
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.
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.
Easy set up, great roof rack. One small problem with installing the rubber strips, piece would not lay flush..
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Easy to install; is strong fit;
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.
Everything fit like a charm!
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.
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.
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.
Exactly what I needed
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.
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.
As always, etrailer for the win. Excellent service,part arrived quickly - just in time for a last minute road trip.
Etrailer is the best! Great products and service!! Highly recommended.
This kit fit perfectly for my Jeep Grand Cherokee. It was a easy install. Enerything was included, including the torque "wrench" that was needed.
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.
