The flush design keeps the crossbars tight to the roofline, giving your setup a sleek, from-the-factory style. Nothing extends past the feet, so the rack blends in and keeps a clean, low profile. The Thule WingBar Edge makes your roof look finished rather than cluttered, giving you a streamlined look that stays true to your vehicle’s design.
Roof racks can sometimes make highway drives noisy, but these aero-style crossbars are built to keep things quiet. Their aerodynamic shape helps reduce wind noise and drag, while the split rubber strips in the top channels fill in gaps that can cause whistling and vibration. The result is a smoother ride with less distraction from wind noise overhead.
This rack gives you flexibility for every kind of trip. In summer, mount a kayak or paddleboard for time on the water. In winter, add ski or snowboard carriers. For long road trips, attach your favorite cargo box or basket. The crossbars work with both channel-mounted gear and clamp-on accessories, so you can use what you already have or add new attachments as your adventures grow.
Mounting accessories doesn’t need to mean trimming rubber strips to fit. The top channels on these bars have split strips that let you slide mounts right into place—no cutting required. Once your gear is installed, the strips close up around it to help block wind and moisture while keeping everything secure.
When you stop for gas or leave your gear overnight at a campsite, you can add Thule One-Key System locks (sold separately) for extra peace of mind. These locks deter theft by securing both the rack itself and channel-mounted accessories with one key.

Easy to install, strong product. I only wish I had known it didn't include locks.
Very pleased with this item (as always I trust Thule on my roof and have across multiple vehicles!) and with the entire transaction. Knowing that we have the right fit kit for our vehicle’s Thule was very important and e-trailer made this easy to accomplish.
A combination of well-reviewed products with quality customer service, fast shipping, and an endless array of educational content makes buying from e-trailer a no-brainer!
The product is exactly as described and works great. What really stands out, though, is E-Trailer itself. I've bought from them many times over the years, and every single order has been handled with remarkable pricing, clear communication, and flawless execution.
While I secured a firm fit on the car, the rubber pads that contacted the car roof did not track the roof line as they should have. In addition, the instruction manual looked like it was written by someone who has never installed this roof rack. The parts were not labeled and the instructions were visual images that lacked a lot of detail and very little written instructions. I have owned several other Thule products in the past and found the instructions and fit to be much more accommodating. The only bright spot was the service I received from Adam S at Etrailer, who went above and beyond in helping me select the proper rack for the car I own. While I am somewhat disappointed in Thule, I would highly recommend using Adam and Etrailer.
Thule makes great products, install is straight forward, and secure on my truck. I used it for carrying long fishing rods for beach fishing.
Is perfect fit but would have liked it better if I could have just ordered and paid for the one item I needed instead of whole set of 4 feet for the repair when I only needed one.
These themselves seem great and solid - I just don't love the way they look hovering above the fit-kit.
Been a month haven’t received them yet they are in stock but guess we are waiting for one item which it’s in stock date gets pushed back every day. And the company doesn’t let the customer know the date changes or when they will send it.
Great solution for the naked roof on my 2011 Porsche Cayenne S
Love e trailer! So fast! Wish I could order Thule locks by number on their site.
One year in, this fit kit and the whole system have worked very well on my Kia EV6.
I miss the simplicity, in terms of cost as well as installation and removal, of the old Thule rectangular-bar racks, but this system looks better, is quiet, won't sag, and seems more robust.
Initially I was worried that I good not get a good Roof Rack configuration to match my 2022 Kia Telluride. When I asked etrailer for some assistance on the configuration, Jon was quick to reply with an excellent solution. He definitely knew the products. Unfortunately, my initial shipment was damaged but Gwen and team quickly got me replacements in the mail. I have received and installed all components and couldn't be more satisfied.
Great seller, fast shipping, good selec tion.
