Specs:
These classic Thule SquareBar crossbars let you create a sturdy, reliable roof rack for your vehicle. Each bar extends past the roof rack feet to maximize carrying capacity. The bars are constructed of galvanized steel so they're durable and rust resistant, and they have a polymer coating that helps prevent your cargo from sliding on the rack. The SquareBars require a Thule foot pack (sold separately) to mount the rack to your roof. If you have a vehicle with a naked roof you will also require a vehicle-specific fit kit (sold separately).
Strong, Durable Construction
The SquareBars are made of heavy-duty, rust-resistant galvanized steel. They have a black polymer coating that provides extra grip to help prevent your cargo from sliding around while you're driving. The polymer coating also helps protect the bars against corrosion so you can leave the SquareBars on your roof year-round.
The bars have plastic endcaps that help keep out water and road debris, and they give your roof rack a finished look.
Hassle-Free Installation
Installation of the SquareBars is quick and easy, and you don't have to do any drilling or vehicle modification. The bars have bottom channels that that accommodate your Thule feet. Etched scales adjacent to the bottom channels let you place the feet in the proper location using the vehicle-specific measurements provided in your fit kit manual. Simply slide each foot to the measurement indicated in the fit kit manual, and place the rack on your vehicle.
For applications that don't require specific measurements provided in a fit kit manual - such as a raised rail - you can center the rack after you place it on your vehicle using a tape measure.
To complete installation on your roof simply tighten a single screw inside each foot using the torque tool included with the foot pack. This single attachment point enables you to secure the crossbar to the foot and the foot to your roof simultaneously.
Maximum Cargo Carrying Capacity
SquareBars are compatible with most accessories that clamp around roof rack bars, including bike, water, snow, and cargo carriers. The bars extend past the roof rack feet to maximize space for mounting accessories and carriers to your roof rack.

Today we're taking a look at the Thule SquareBar Crossbar. These come in a quantity of two, and they're available in four different lengths, 43 inches, 47 inches, 53 inches and 60 inches. Now the SquareBar's going to be a more rugged look for your roof rack. It's not going to have as sleek of a design as a WingBar might, but a lot of people do like the more rugged, outdoorsy look. As you can see, we got our bike and our kayak loaded up, ready to head off on our trip.The Crossbars, when combined with the Evo clamp feet and the fit kit for your specific vehicle, it's going to be able to build you a full aftermarket roof rack.The bars are constructed out of a heavy duty galvanized steel, so it's going to be very durable and rust proof, plus the polymer coating that you can see right here is going to help provide better grip for your rooftop accessories.Now, what's cool is that Thule has re-designed how they grip the square crossbar. On their old system, they had a podium foot pack, which was separate from the other foot packs, and they gripped the square crossbar around the top right here.
There was a little slot that went through it. But over time, that could cause more wear and tear on the polymer coating of your crossbar and just makes it more difficult to install the more you use it.What they've done with this Evo foot pack is on the square crossbar, they have a slot underneath right here and actually I have another square crossbar that you can actually see it now, we can see this slot right here, where the Evo foot pack's going to fit through and you can see that there's a lot of markings that give you measurements, so you can accurately space your Evo feet without using a tape measure.Now, on our vehicle right here, we have the 53 inch SquareBars. However, if you find that you want a longer crossbar, you want to have more crossbar overhang to work with, maybe you want to put a bike rack on the outside of your Evo feet, you can upgrade to the 60 inch. But you want to keep in mind that your crossbar overhang cannot extend past your side mirrors.Now, the heavy duty construction is going to take the weight capacity for this up a little higher than your WingBar roof rack. We're going to come in at 220 pounds as a weight capacity for these SquareBars, but you always want to make sure you double check your vehicle's owners manual to make sure that the roof can handle that weight.Now, for whatever length crossbar you decide to get, they're all going to have the same width and height.
They're going to be 1-1/4 inches wide by 7/8 of an inch tall.Now, with anything you put on your roof, you're going to have some wind noise and drag. But with a SquareBar system, you might have a little bit more of that when compared to the Thule WingBar system, which has the aero crossbars. Now you can minimalize your wind noise and drag with this roof rack system, by purchasing a Thule AirScreen Fairing that goes on the front crossbar, and it's basically going to divert the wind to make it come up and over both crossbars.With all that being said, that's going to do it for our look at Thule's line of SquareBar Crossbars.

SquareBar crossbars attach to Thule feet to create a durable, reliable roof rack for your vehicle. Bars are constructed of galvanized steel with a polymer coating that provides grip for your cargo. Accommodate accessories that clamp around bars.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. 682335
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. 671815
Review from a similar Thule SquareBar in Roof Rack
Exactly as shown. They are somewhat different than the other bars I have in that there is a 4 inch slot on the underside of the bar. Unfortunately, this causes a loud wind noise when on the roof of the SUV. 608226
