These 60" long Thule SquareBar Evo crossbars are built from galvanized steel, giving you the strength to carry up to 220 lbs of gear. The solid steel construction handles everything from kayaks and canoes to lumber for your next project. The bars have a polymer coating that provides extra grip on your cargo and helps prevent corrosion so they hold up through years of use.
When you’re hauling a kayak or a rooftop box, you don’t want it shifting around. The polymer coating on these square bars gives your accessories more to grab onto, keeping them stable mile after mile. That same coating also protects the bars against rust, even after long exposure to rain or road grime.
This complete rack system comes ready with 2 SquareBars, 4 Evo Fixpoint feet, and a custom fit kit designed for fixed mounting points. That setup gives you a solid, secure installation that feels permanent but can be removed when needed. You can also add Thule One-Key System locks (sold separately) to deter theft when you’re parked overnight or at the trailhead.
These square crossbars make it easy to switch between different adventures without changing your setup. They work with accessories and carriers that clamp around the bars—perfect for mounting kayak cradles, ski racks, cargo boxes, or fishing rod holders. Whatever the season, the SquareBar Evo gives you a straightforward way to haul the gear that gets you outside.

Ratings & Reviews
Easy to install and hold crossbars very securely.
The product was great it fit perfectly and it was everything that etrailer said it would be and fit our car
The bars are as advertised, but arrived 10 full days after you indicated, possibly a post office problem. But, the package only contained one of the 4 end caps for the bars. Please send the other three.
Great product, fast shipping
Got exactly what I needed! Perfect fit on the 2024 Q7.
simple and secure; don't forget lock cy linders!
I feel that the service I've received from e-trailer was superb. They made excellent suggestions and I'm looking forward to getting the new rack installed ... again, with their video help!!
I like this style of roof rack bars!
fit perfectly
The shipping was fast! The instructions were very clear and the items were all very easy to install! Overall - this was a fantastic buying experience from etrailer.
I would have appreciated being informed that the Thule Wingbars were not in stock!
Very fast delivery. The box in which the bars were shipped was opened on one end. Two of the end caps were missing. Also, I don't know if there are supposed to be a plastic filler strip for the bottom slots in the bars. If there is, I didn't receive those either. Since the towers have 4 end caps in that box, I was not concerned about the two missing from the bars.
We called for advice about Thule parts to fit some older Thule components & the etrailer rep, Stacey, was terrific. She explained exactly what we needed & emailed with contact info if we had questions. Great price, free fast shipping. E-trailer is the best source we have used.
The Squarebar Crossbars work perfectly on my Toyota Rav 4 Adventure.
Install was pretty straight forward. I did have to drill holes on the roof gutters for the fixed point bolts (2024 Mazda 3 5dr). Shipping was delayed by a month but it was not due to etrailers fault.
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 have ordered quite a bit from Etrailer in the past, but this will be my last order. First, I ordered the Thule Gutter system and specifically ask if the old style square bars would fit the gutter system….answer was yes. In fact, it did not. Then had to order the Evo Square bars. They only come in 60”. Most of my orders come in within three days this order took 10 days, it was sent by snail mail. It arrived and the four end caps were not there and one of the bars had a bend in it. Had to reorder. These EVO bars suck. There is a slot you have to massage to get the bar into, very hard to adjust. Super disappointed in the product from Thule and the shipping service from etrailer. Hate to do it, back to [online stores] etc.
Order from this company for years. Customer service remarkable and products are amazing
It's a simple item just bars. They arrived bent. but not so bad to go through the hassle to return them.
The fixed point feet fit perfectly on the EVO cross bar, but typical of Thule the channel for the feet kept them 2” to far apart. Thule wants you to always buy complete new sets of everything. I extended the channel by 1” on each side. Everything fit perfectly.
I'm using these Thule Evo Fixpoint Feet #710701 in conjunction with the FitKit #87003 to mount my DropRack XL to the rooftop of my 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Eventually I'll get a Thule Rooftop Cargo Box to transport our RV camping supplies for which we don't have enough room in the Jeep or our Aliner RV camper. For now, I'm also using the setup to transport 4' x 8' plywood sheets for a DIY home project. This is the perfect solution for a multi-use application that'll enable us to accomplish more projects around the house as well as on the road.
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.
Great customer service and product selection. Fast shipping, item arrived in great shape. I purchased a trailer from etrailer over 10 years ago, I always like to return and purchase more items. Highly recommended.
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
Thule custom rack feet are always rock solid. Another great set.
