To see if this custom-fit item will work for you please tell us what vehicle you'll use it with.
The Thule SquareBar Evo roof rack is built from galvanized steel to handle serious hauling. Each 60" bar has a 220 lb weight capacity, so you can confidently load kayaks, tents, or lumber without worrying about flex. The steel core gives the system exceptional strength for cross-country trips and heavy gear.
The polymer coating adds grip for your cargo and shields the steel from corrosion. It keeps the bars looking clean and resists rust after rain-soaked drives or salty winter roads. That coating also helps your gear stay put when you’re strapping down bulky items for a long haul.
This complete system includes 2 SquareBars, 4 Evo Fixpoint feet, and a custom fit kit made for secure mounting to fixed points on your roof. Once installed, the rack feels solid—no shifting or looseness when the vehicle’s loaded up. You can also add Thule One-Key System locks (sold separately) to deter theft of the rack when parked overnight or at a trailhead.
The square crossbar design is compatible with a wide range of carriers and accessories that clamp around the bars. That means you can mount common kayak cradles, cargo boxes, or bike racks without needing special adapters. If you already own clamp-style gear, it’ll fit right in with this setup.
Constructed in black steel and backed by Thule’s limited lifetime warranty, this rack is made to stand up to years of travel and outdoor use. It's a dependable platform for everything from weekend paddling trips to extended road adventures.

Incredible customer service. Greg was amazing in getting my roof shipped to me. I am 65 and this is the best customer service I have ever had. THANK YOU.
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.
delivered fri. not thurs. as you said [ not a biggy] no doorbell ring [ 59 inches [not 60] nice that they come with end caps be nice if indicated they are inside the bar bar and caps are well constructed.
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
Great product, fast shipping
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!
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.
fit perfectly
I would have appreciated being informed that the Thule Wingbars were not in stock!
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.
Got exactly what I needed! Perfect fit on the 2024 Q7.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
