To see if this custom-fit item will work for you please tell us what vehicle you'll use it with.
These crossbars are built from aluminum and rated for up to 165 lbs, giving you the strength to load heavy gear like kayaks, tents, or cargo boxes without worry. The tough build holds steady on long highway drives and rough roads, so your setup stays secure mile after mile.
The aerodynamic shape of the WingBar Evo helps reduce wind drag and noise. The top channels use split rubber strips that close back around your mounts to keep things quiet and smooth when you're driving. You won’t have to deal with persistent whistling or vibration from the bars.
Mounting accessories doesn’t require trimming or fuss. The split-strip design lets you slide your channel-mount gear right into place, then the strips close back around it. Whether you're adding a kayak cradle, a cargo box, or a ski rack, setup stays simple and quick.
These bars fit most attachment styles, so you can use both channel-mount and clamp-on carriers for bikes, watersport gear, snow gear, or cargo boxes. It’s one system that adapts to your outdoor plans all year long without needing different crossbars.
If you want extra peace of mind when parked overnight or at a trailhead, you can add Thule’s One-Key System locks (sold separately). They secure both the rack and your channel-mounted accessories using the same key for convenience and security.

etrailer was the only place that was able to provide a solution for me! I have a 2022 GLC Benz with panoramic roof. I spent many $$ for Benz’s own cross bars. They looked great…integrated with the roof seamlessly. But I couldn’t open the panoramic roof! MAJOR FAIL!!
etrailer customized a set of Thule cross bars that not only work with my panoramic roof but are quieter and look even better than the Benz product. MAJOR AWESOME to etrailer. Now listing my Benz cross bars on Craigs.
I purchase these along w the Thule Evo Fixpoint feet & Thule mounting points. Took less than an hour to put together & it was pretty simple. I don’t notice any whistling noises at all so that’s great. Looks super awesome! If you’re thinking of getting a roof rack definitely go with the Thule, looks low profile and sleek.
It's been rock solid on my 2022 Sorento PHEV. I combine it with a hitch rack, so it's nice that I can easily remove and reattach quickly. I haven't noticed much wind noise or increase in MPG like I did with an old rack+fairing.
Thanks again for the excellent, professional, knowledgeable customer service. It is refreshing to be able to talk to someone who is friendly and glad to help with specialized needs such as racks, hitches, etc. You won't find that kind of service in a lot of places. That is why I recommend etrailer to all of my friends.
The 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz is getting very popular and lots of people are wondering when a truck rack, or ladder type rack will be available for it. It is a great truck but the roof does not allow larger items like longboard surfboards or SUP boards or kayaks to be installed on the roof. There just is not enough room for standard surfboard racks to be spread out long enough to safely carry these longer items. Thule says 27 1/2" is the standard distance between bars but all of us surfers, windsurfers know that one needs more distance between the crossbars to carry a 9' surfboard or greater. I was going to use the Thule racks I just ordered on my 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz, but it seems there is just not enough room on the roof to get the distance needed. Plus, the roof is kind of rounded toward the front so the front bar will be down at an angle. I ended up putting the rack on my Hyundai Tucson. So, there is a need out there for a different system for the Santa Cruz. Any advice on a roof rack for the Santa Cruz would be appreciated. Maybe I am looking at it wrong and I don't need as much room on the roof as I think to transport a longboard. I know there is a lot of discussion on this subject on the Santa Cruz forums online. I use a 9', and 10' longboard (surfboard).
Thule makes great products
And etrailer makes it too easy to get when needed.
etrailer.com was excellent to do business with. Their website is informative, complete and easy to navigate. Phone service to help confirm availability of my product and their general knowledge of their products was impressive. Product arrived on time and in good shape. Their order tracking system is also very good. I’m very pleased with the Thule Wingbar Evo 135 racks For my BMW X5 with flush roof rails. They are super sturdy, solidly mounted and look good on the vehicle. Mine will be mainly used for surfboards and SUP’s. The assembly and installation was a breeze. The included written instructions would have been sufficient for a seamless installation but I also watched one of many YouTube videos that demonstrated very clearly every step of assembly and installation for this specific set of racks.
Love the racks!! I highly recommend etrailer.com for your roof rack needs.
I ordered the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Silver - 50" with the Evo Flush Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars - Flush Side Rails and the Fit Kit for Thule Evo Flush Rail and Edge Flush Rail Roof Rack Feet for my 2020 Mazda CX9. I appreciated the product selector to make sure I was getting all the correct parts. I was happy with the products, but I did run into an issue where 1 of the rail feet had a defective bolt which required a replacement. I was very satisfied with etrailer's customer support, and how well they worked with me to get the part replaced quickly. I'm giving this a 4 start only because of the hassle of receiving a defective one initially
Easy to assemble and install. Love the way etrailer packages everything you need and they all are correct for the vehicle you are mounting them on. Once installed they appear very strong. Installed on a 2023 Chevy Tahoe and did not interfere with the sunroof.
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.
I’ve had it on my 2021 Kia Telluride now for a few months and it works great. When I was mounting the forward bar, I opened the sun roof to make sure I was comfortable with the roof window and bar clearance.
Rock Solid and good looking. Expensive but worth it!
Work great. The rubber pieces will start to pop up at times. I will hear the bars whistling so I just reset them and good to go. Overall the bars are quiet. We use a Thule cargo box on top and it works great for traveling.
QUALITY Crossbars! Aerodynamic, tested at 70mph on the highway with little to no noise disturbance! SOLID bars if installed correctly. Although there were instructions provided, they were a bit vague. Hop on YouTube, and you will find plenty to reference from! Most of it is self explanatory, but it’s always good having tips and tricks helping you through your particular install! A++
Thule Rack looks awesome on my Kia Telluride. Products 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 one of the pieces of rubber while installing and etrailer sent me a new one at no charge. Definitely recommend etrailer.
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.
One of the rubber strips came off somehow. I just used these bars for the second time.
works perfectly
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.
Thule has great quality and trailer is a great place to order from, highly recommend both!
Arrived within a week. Easy to assemble and looks good. Thule makes great stuff and etrailer makes it easy to buy the right fit for my car (Ioniq5 XRT with flush rails)
Perfect fit on my 2026 Hyundai Ionic 5 XRT. The installation was easy and quick as the parts that were quickly shipped were ideal for my car. Ready for the surfing, skiing and snowboarding-- Let's go...
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 these feet and the TH37CE fit kit. I ordered immediately. Today was the day. Of note, the fit kit has specific parts for the front and rear passenger 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 on the Subaru rails (folded in) on the Thule Wingbar Evo 55" bars. 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.
Perfect fit. Easy to install. Excellent customer service and prompt shipping. These guys are great!! THANKS JEREMY!!
