These 53" long Thule WingBar Evo crossbars give you a solid platform to haul your gear. With a weight capacity of 165 lbs, they’re built from aluminum for strength and stability on long drives. Whether you’re loading up kayaks, canoes, or a cargo box, the sturdy construction keeps everything steady mile after mile.
Wind noise can get old fast when you’re driving with gear on top. The aero-style design of these bars helps reduce that whistling sound while you’re on the road. The top channels include split rubber strips that stay in place around your accessories, sealing in the gaps to limit vibration and wind noise as you drive.
Some racks make you trim rubber strips to fit your attachments, but these skip that step. The split-strip channel lets you slide in your channel-mount gear without cutting anything. The strip closes back around the mount when installed, keeping things neat and secure while staying easy to adjust later if you need to swap attachments.
Whatever you like to bring along—bikes, kayaks, skis, or cargo boxes—these crossbars fit right into your plans. They work with both channel-mount and clamp-on accessories, so you can use the carriers you already have or add new ones as your adventures change through the seasons.
If you want to lock it all down, you can add Thule’s One-Key System (sold separately). It secures both the rack and any channel-mounted gear with a single key, adding peace of mind when you leave your setup parked overnight or at a trailhead.

How's it going, neighbors Today we're gonna take a look at the Thule WingBar Evo and see what it's made of and how well it fits on a vehicle. Today we're just gonna use a Jeep Cherokee to get a feel for how it connects to a raised rail system. But most importantly, adding a roof rack to your vehicle is going to allow you to take advantage of the negative space on top of your car. So let's check this thing out and see what it does for us. The WingBar itself gets its name from its shape. It looks like an airplane wing.
And what that does for you, it's gonna cut through the air and create less wind noise when you're going down the road. You also have access to your T track channel. So if you have T track accessories, you can slide those guys right into place. Overall, the aluminum construction is gonna be nice and lightweight and corrosion resistant while you're out in the world, putting up with the abuse of being able to, you know, be in all the elements as far as hot temperatures and cold temperatures. As far as the polymer that they use for the base, it's really similar to the same types that they use for the parts on your car that are exposed to the temperature.
So you don't really have to worry about it expanding or contracting and cracking and fading because it's designed to deal with, you know, the real world. Now, real cool feature here is if you have other Thule accessories, you can pop out this plastic lock core and switch it out for a single core system that will work with all your Thule bike racks and roof rack systems, so you just don't have a bunch of keys to fumble about with. Now as far as how it fits on the Cherokee specifically, you can see it wraps around your raised rails and grips pretty solid. So I think that when you have something like this it's super versatile, 'cause it's gonna allow you to use just about anything. So if you're going with a rooftop basket, kayak carrier, bike carrier, any one of those things is gonna work super well with the WingBar, and actually install super easy in the box.
You're gonna have the torque wrench you need, so grab a tape measure and I'll show you how to install it. Now, I've already put on the rear bar to walk through the process, and this is pretty straightforward. So we're gonna start right in here and remove our end cap. Thule gives you a strip to measure for your spread. And this guy's just gonna slide right on.
You have a little bit of a hook right here that goes into the track below, and you just guide it into place. And you're just gonna do the same thing on the other side. You're just gonna be able to pop this end cap off in a similar way. And from here you're gonna grab your tape measure and then make sure that you're at the spread that you're looking for for your crossbars. So I'm just gonna reach across and drop this on my bar and then lay it into place here. So from here I'm gonna grab my tape measure and make sure that I have the crossbar spread that I desire, as well as making sure my bars are even for tying down. So I'm just gonna go to the other side and do some measuring. So when you're tightening up, you wanna make sure you're going from the passenger to the driver's side, back and forth as you tighten it down, 'cause it kind of has a tendency to pull from one side to the other. Now that we got that click, we know we're nice and secure. And final step is gonna pop on that cover right here. Thule does a great job of creating a product that you can just put on your vehicle and get down to making memories. And personally, I'd love to see some photos of your roof rack in action because I just like having that interaction with you. Now again, this is Ed with etrailer.com, taking a look at the Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack. Have a great day.

Not nearly as happy as I was! I love the rack style, and it works OK, but the rubber strips on top are a bad design. Once I had one of the strips fly off while driving, and the wind noise was horrible after that. Luckily, I made a note of where I was, and went back and found the strip on a freeway. This time I GLUED it in, because even though it was properly seated the first time, it came off. Then, the same thing happened on the rear rack! This time I caught it before it blew off. The front one had been driven over by a car or two, so I was going to replace it rather than reuse it - until I found the price of this simple piece of blow away rubber - it was outlandish I think it was $80 for a set - ridiculous at even half that price!. So I ended up gluing them in AND I put an eye bolt on both ends - since it seems to come loose at an end and work its way across. The idea is good, but the captive track is not adequate, and Id rather just take them off - but the wind noise is unbearable, so Im just going to make due.

It’s been a year since I purchased and installed these. They’re still holding up and look great. I added a roof rack on top of it using the slots and t-bolts. Definitely worth every penny! You will not be disappointed! ????
