Specs:
The SquareBar Evo 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.

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.
Still working on this project but no wind noise going down the highway
WAY TOO MUCH WIND NOISE. I do not recommend this product, Could not return it since it was installed. Need to try the wind spoiler to see if it reduces noise.
Victoria B - 05/26/2020We 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 product was great it fit perfectly and it was everything that etrailer said it would be and fit our car
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.
Good and sturdy!
Review from a similar SquareBar in Roof Rack
This review is about the cross bars, the towers, clamps and pads made by Thule from the e-trailer site. The instructions were straightforward, and the parts were clearly identified and labelled. Installation was easy, primarily because of the availability of instructional videos e-trailer provided on line. Seeing it done from start to finish made the installation quite easy and straightforward. Looking forward to using my new roof system to transport our kayak this summer! Am very satisfied.
