Hey everyone, it's Evangeline, and today, we're taking a look at the Thule WingBar Edge Crossbars. These are gonna be some heavy-duty crossbars that are also a little bit more low-profile, so we'll talk about that, those features, and how they work with the rest of the Thule roof rack systems. So there's a Thule WingBar Evo and there's a Thule WingBar Edge. So the main difference between the two is one gives you overhang and the other does not. So if you want a sleek, streamlined, and some people think factory look, that's where the Thule WingBar Edge can come in handy. If you want more crossbar space and you have the Evo clamps, that's when you would use the Thule WingBar Evo.
So they're very similar in shape, but very different in functionality. So there's a range of different crossbar sizes, so you can range from your smaller crossbars to your longer crossbars, and you can even have different sizes on your car. So for example, we have the 37 inch here, we have the 41 inch up front, and that's why it's very important to use our fit guide here at etrailer.com where we find the right fit for you and your car. So these are made of aluminum, they're very solid, and I know some crossbars, when they are made of thinner material, they tend to bow in the middle. This, I do not see that ever happening, but for your actual weight capacity, you are limited to what type of system you have on your car and not so much by the bars.
This is available in different colors, so you have black, which is what I have here, and we also have silver. So this has a black powder coat finish, so even as you scratch at it, when you get cargo on there, of course, in extreme situations you can scratch it up, but it should maintain its finish in most situations. If you do see scratches, I recommend going over it with a paint pen, so it maintains its corrosion resistance. It's shaped to be more aerodynamic, so it's tapered in the back and it's taller up front, so that way, it will help guide the wind up and over or around your bars. So this means, compared to your traditional round and square crossbars, definitely less noisy, less wind drag when you're going down on it, especially at highway speeds.
So these are what your crossbars look like when they're not on your car. So the WingBar Edge has a different design from the WingBar Evo, they're slightly different in terms of shape, and a quick look on the inside when you take out the weather strip, shows the little tab for your Edge towers. So when you get your crossbar, you're gonna get these weather strips, so these are gonna cover your T-track channel, but also, help move the air over. So you're gonna take them apart, and then you're just gonna push them into your crossbar, and this is gonna be the way that they're facing. So your weather stripping splits apart in the middle, so that you can slide your T-track accessories through it.
I personally think it's a little tricky to get it through the first part, but once it slides through, it does it very easily. The size of the WingBar is 3 inches and 1/8 inch wide and one inch tall. So most of your accessories will fit around this, just make sure for your older accessories, they may not be used to the modern aero design. So my thoughts on the Thule WingBar Edge Crossbars is, the first step, make sure you have the right system, if you use our fit guide, you'll find the right fit for you and the right kit all packed together. Also, with the Thule WingBar Edge, they are designed to be used with Edge products, so make sure whether it's the Edge raised rail, Edge clamp, Edge flush feet, those are the ones you use with this crossbar. So with all that being said, there's solid, they're sturdy, they are on the bit more premium side, so if you're a big fan of Thule and you like Thule products, definitely fits in there. If you're looking for alternatives, we also have alternatives here at etrailer that are solid choices. And that was a look at the Thule WingBar Edge Crossbars here at etrailer..

Great service
Originally ordered a Yakima system, but availability everywhere was virtually nil. Switched to Thule and ran into some of the same shortages with the supply chain, likely due to Covid. Took about a week to receive and it was the perfect part for my BMW X3.
Very pleased with order. Shipped fast, not damaged, all parts accounted for. Easy install, very sturdy, and attractive design. Slight wind noise but that was expected compared to not having a roof rack.
For XXX bucks I thought it would include the keys. Not plastic plugs. Instructions say it should have key. They even talk about how to store the key. My advice to anyone is buy it directly from dealer.
Initially I was worried that I good not get a good Roof Rack configuration to match my 2022 Kia Telluride. When I asked etrailer for some assistance on the configuration, Jon was quick to reply with an excellent solution. He definitely knew the products. Unfortunately, my initial shipment was damaged but Gwen and team quickly got me replacements in the mail. I have received and installed all components and couldn't be more satisfied.
I received all the required parts in excellent condition. The installation went very smoothly as planned on my 2022 Subaru WRX!
Without etrailer my Thule top carrier would not have been installed when I needed it. Thanks for having the parts in stock and getting it there on time!
Wonderful product! Easy installation. Pleasure doing business with etrailer.com. SUPERB customer service.
Imagine that…. Easy step by step instructions!!! Had it assembled and on the car in under an hour. Great product, great quality!
These were all great products, although they're really expensive. It took a while to figure out which sets of things I needed to make the whole thing work.
After searching unsuccessfully for support in the retrofit of my legacy Thule rack to a new car, I was pleased by the excellent support from Bailey B. She was methodical in her query and verification of compatibility in my non-standard application. The rack
I just wanted to take a minute to thank Carol C for driving amazing customer service! I ordered a Thule rack system, and the Thule cross bars arrived with the packaging torn partially open, causing some of the cross bar end caps to be lost in transit. Worth noting, the cross bars were in Thule's original packaging, so this was in no way the fault of etrailer. Despite this being a Thule issue, Carol C sent me a new pack of end caps, which I really appreciate...Thanks!
Great quality and equipment.
Shipping was efficient and timely. Instructions were good, but advise you watch [online] video to make it as easy as possibly.
We bought a new vehicle that we already had several Thule accessories for. Purchased the fit kit for our Tahoe along with the Flush Rail feet and they fit perfectly.
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.
What a great experience! I spoke or corresponded several times with representatives about technical or ordering issues, and they were uniformly very helpful and courteous. They matched a small difference in price from another vendor and were really helpful in making the decision about what to buy. The Thule items are really high quality and, in spite of instructions that would make Ikea embarrassed, weren't difficult to assemble and install. (I recommend checking for relevant videos online.) I give etrailer.com and the parts an unqualified 5-star rating. One of my best online experiences ever.
The people at etrailer we’re great to deal with. They kept me up to date on my order and everything came perfectly fine. The Thule roof rack with the evo wingbar is a great product and was easy to install. I had one issue with the rubber strip on the wingbar and the people at etrailer took care of it super quick. Would definitely recommend them.
Thule products are not the cheapest but they are just so well engineered it brings a smile to your face every time you assemble them. I have 7 year old aero blade bars and bought these foot packs (and fit kit) for a new car. Taking off the old feet off the bars was flawless - every part, whether plastic, rubber or metal is still perfect after 7 years of use and shed storage.
Etrailer were fabulous as usual - initial phone consultation to confirm feet will fit the old bars and then quick online ordering etc.
Fits perfectly and looks great. Install was easy, but needs time and care to line up well.
Fast delivery and quality products
Very pleasant experience, end to end. I found exactly what I needed, ordered processed and shipped very quickly.package arrived within 2 days and accurate great job guys. I’ll definitely buy from them again and highly recommended
