Driving with roof bars shouldn’t mean dealing with loud wind noise. The Thule WingBar Evo crossbars use an aerodynamic shape and split rubber strips in the top channels to help reduce noise and vibration while you’re on the road. The streamlined design keeps airflow smooth, so long drives stay quieter and more comfortable.
Whether it’s a kayak, cargo box, or bike carrier, these aluminum bars handle just about any trip you plan. The aero-style crossbars work with accessories that mount in the top channels or clamp around the bars, so you can easily swap setups between seasons or activities. They’re compatible with most bike, watersport, snow, and cargo carriers, making it simple to carry what you need.
With some racks, you have to cut the rubber strip before installing your gear. The WingBar Evo’s split strip design eliminates that step. Just slide your accessory into the top channel—the split strip opens for the mount and then closes back up around it. It keeps installation quick and tidy while helping seal out wind and weather.
When you’re loading up for a big trip, strength matters. These aluminum crossbars have a weight capacity of 165 lbs (always observe your vehicle’s maximum roof load capacity). The solid construction feels sturdy under bikes, boards, or boxes, so you can hit the road knowing your gear is secure and supported for the long haul.
If you want to lock things down, this setup is ready for Thule’s One-Key System (sold separately). It lets you secure both the rack and any channel-mounted accessories using one key. It’s a convenient way to keep your gear protected when you make a stop during a trip or leave your vehicle overnight.
Ratings & Reviews
Thule stuff always seemed so well engineered and made. A pleasure
I really love my roof rack I got from this site. At first, I was having a heard time trying to figure out the right fit for my 2017 Acura MDX. I did a research only and watched videos on youtube. I even purchased the same thule roof rack from [online vendor] but it wasn't the right fit. When I made my way to this site, they not just have the right recommendation, but they also have the right parts for my vehicle. If I ever needed anything for my vehicle and they have it on this site, I will have no trouble getting it from here. I am a happy customer and I just wanted to say thank you!
I think Thule products are painfully pricey......however the rack I put on my Ram 2500 is flawless and a absolute perfect fit. I added the Thule rack for the roof of the truck. I have a truck bed utility custom rack and it wasnt enough. I carry a 16' heavy canoe and a 12' kayak so the additional crossbars make for a very sturdy and dependable way to carry since we also tow a trailer. Very happy to have it.
Customer Service at etrailer is par none, both before the sale and after. I had an unpleasant experience elsewhere buying and installing a roof rack for my old Prius. After a few days of frustrations, I sent it back to that old online store.
This time, I contacted etrailer to see what ALL I needed to install a rack on my new 2018 Honda CRV. They sent me the part numbers and a link to purchase. Viola! After they arrived, I had difficulty with one of the parts (at 69 yo my hands are not too strong or flexible) and contacted etrailer. They sent pictures and more thorough instructions on installing the rubber strip. Another VIOLA!
I'm so very happy with my total experience at etrailer. Customer Service, truly, is not better any where else I have made online or brick-n-mortar purchases.
Superb quality. Of course, it is from Thule and they are expensive for sure. But, you really get what you pay for!
And, just consider how expensive it would be if using something more affordable (cheap generic brand) and the racks/bars take off from the roof with the box on the highway!
These will not take off, super sturdy and fits the car perfectly.
Just be sure to get the right kit.
And follow the paper instructions coming along the parts.
Can recommend these, were for Nissan Leaf 2021.
And not to forget the etrailer company, they did their part as well with flying colors. All parts arrived in time and were correct!
Easy install, no issues with this roof rack in almost 1 year of using it
I've owned this roof rack for a year now, and it has served my purposes (carrying my kayak around on my truck) quite well. It was fairly easy to assemble, largely because the entire instruction guide was in pictures.
I have had to retighten the rack a couple of times since putting it on the roof, so I tie the kayak down to the front and back of the truck as well as to the roof rack. I suspect the ocean kayak puts a bit of lift on the roof rack resulting in the loosening.
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 think this a great roof rack it held a Thule box on a 2019 accord to florida but one thing I think that sucks is how much it whistles when driving besides that its great!!
I bought the Thule Evo Roof Rack to transport my kayak on my Lexus 300H. Thule will advise you on their website that his particular rack is not right for a Lexus 300H (i.e., they don't make a roof rack for a Lexus 300H); it is really for a Camry, but etrailer told me that is worked, I trusted them and they were correct. After all, a Lexus sedan is really a fancy Camry, but Thule will not acknowledge this point. It works great. Thule makes a solid product.
The towers are whistling like crazy at speeds over 45mph and have tried moving them back and forth to different positions to see if it would fix it but it hasn’t. Installed them identical to your instructional videos. I was going to see if anyone had suggested using silicone to seal any gaps before I return them. Not happy at all about paying over $xxx for this system only for the feet to sound like something bought from [chain superstore]. Please advise.
I like etrailer.com. They know their products. They listen to you. They perform for you. They have the ability to automatically spec-out an entire system (consisting of multiple components) and it works. You can bet on this company. I will definitely use them again in the future.
I love my new roof rack! It looks good, works great, and the video link attached to the email made installation a breeze! I highly recommend this rack.
Not too difficult to put together (1.5 hrs approx. from scratch start to installed). The first time of measurements is a hassle as expected but not too bad. Looks cool and good as expected from a Thule product.
I’ve had my Thule roof rack for a year. It’s sturdy and easily handles two kayaks. Love it!
Car: 4 door Civic sedan
Bought this as a set along with a set of locks. They did not have the locks in stock, so when I went ahead of canceled that portion of the order, they were able to process and ship it out the next day. It took roughly 1 week for it to arrive.
Following the instructions they provide you with was fairly simple, there was a QR code scan for a video that you can watch as well. I assembled this along with ski carriers that I had as well. I did struggle a little bit with the spacing I needed to fit my snowboard, but it wasn't too much of a hassle.
After assembling it, I was impressed with how it looked and also how stable and tight it was when I was trying to shake it around. As for the test drive, I was very impressed with how there was no wind whistle and they did not fall off (peaked at 70mph).
Overall, I would say it's definitely worth it to buy a good quality cross bar set. And more importantly it was worth it to purchase it from a retailer that does a good job processing and shipping your order without any issues!

Good quality and easy to set up on my 2016 jeep Cherokee! Happy with the new cross bar setup!
Worked Perfect & Secured a very heavy load in extreme weather & off road conditions

Thanks Lori B!
Superb experience with etrailer.com. From order to delivery in 2 days. All components in perfect condition and very useful video links to help assemble and mount. I am very impressed by the overall customer experience so far given by etrailer!
Solid crossbars for my 2018 4Runner. Didn't notice any lag or noise on the freeway.
Etrailer has the BEST customer service bar none!
Thule rack looks great on my Kia Telluride. The pieces 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 a piece of the rubber while installing and etrailer sent me another one free of charge. Would definitely recommend etrailer.
