The flush design keeps the crossbars tight to the roofline, giving your setup a sleek, from-the-factory look. Nothing sticks out past the mounting feet, so it blends smoothly with the vehicle’s profile. The aluminum construction delivers strength without bulk, making the whole system look like a natural part of your roof rather than an added accessory.
Wind noise can ruin a good drive, but the aero-style crossbars on this rack help reduce that. The top channels feature split rubber strips that fill in around your mounted accessories to minimize whistling and vibration. Even at highway speeds, you’ll notice how much quieter it feels compared to typical square or round bars.
Whether it’s kayaks in summer or a cargo box for a long road trip, these crossbars can handle it. They’re compatible with both channel-mount and clamp-on accessories, so you can use the gear you already own or mix in new mounts when you’re ready. The easy slide-in channel system means no trimming is needed—just mount your accessory and go.
With a 165-lb weight capacity and all-aluminum construction, this setup is made for serious hauling. From heavy camping gear to bulky outdoor equipment, it stays solid under load while resisting rust and wear. The black finish keeps it looking sharp through years of use.
You can upgrade security by adding Thule’s One-Key System locks (sold separately). It deters theft of both the rack and any channel-mounted gear. For anyone who parks overnight at trailheads or campsites, that extra peace of mind is worth it.

How's it going neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com and today we're taking a look at the Thule Wing Bar Edge on our 2023 BMW X5. Now to the X5 owners, you guys know that it's a very nice vehicle, but cargo space is very limited. Adding a roof rack to your vehicle is gonna allow you to take advantage of that negative space on top of your ride. So let's take a closer look and see what's special about it. So as far as the wing bar, just like the name implies, you're going to have a wing shape that's gonna help reduce your wind noise, along with the weather stripping on top, that's gonna allow you to have less noise, however, you know with crossbars, these guys, you know, it's just the nature of it that you're gonna get some wind. However, I have used these wing bars on my vehicle and I didn't notice a lot of wind.
It was on a Honda Odyssey and they, you know, I didn't notice I had 'em on there for a week straight. As far as the way this guy's gonna connect, you can see that the fit kit fits really precisely along with the raised rails. And the way that the clamps clamp this ridge here is gonna make sure that you're ultra secure. If you have any T channel track accessories, you can trim your weather stripping to fit along that line, and that way you can get a lot of use out of it. Now, one thing I usually recommend with these guys is upgrading to the additional lock and just keeping in mind that you are gonna have a limited amount of space that you can put on there.
So you want to make sure that you go with the manufacturer's recommended load limit for your rooftop. As far as your spacing, you're gonna go for a minimum of 27 1/2 inches. However, you did have a lot of flexibility because there are no fixed mounting points. With Thule products in general, the installation is straightforward. And with this all you're gonna need is a tape measure because the wrench you're going to need is included in with your kit.
This is one of those real easy to install things that you can get done pretty quick. And it'd be cool if you send a photo, just link it below, and of how it looks on top of your vehicle. So now let's go ahead and get this guy installed. So we're gonna start our installation with our towers. We're gonna remove the cover and you want to keep in mind that the orientation for this notch here is gonna point towards the rear on both your front and rear.
From here you're gonna grab your clamps for your fit kit. You're gonna go with the A bracket, taking the two hooks and placing it right above, actually right underneath the bracket. Now you're gonna take B, the rubber foot, and align it with the holes underneath. It matches the shape and it just pops right in. And then finally, the C portion with the bubble part pointing out, you're gonna hook that on the top where you can have the threaded bolt sticking through and you can kind of work this guy in. And that's good enough for now. So from here we're gonna install it onto the crossbar. So right here, this plastic notch is what we're gonna align with the hole on the inside of our crossbar. It's gonna slide that guy in and I'm just gonna press down and work it in. And now we're gonna go ahead, flip this guy over, and we're gonna get a measurement on our spread here for our crossbars going across and we'll get it locked into place. Now that I have my measurement, I'm gonna make my adjustments here and we're gonna put our weather strip on, sometimes Thule'll send it pre-installed, but if you don't receive it, it's gonna come in one piece and you're gonna tear it apart. So from here you are gonna actually drop it right into the channel. You want the arrows pointing towards the front on the rear part of the bar, and if you have a little extra hangover, you can just trim it off with scissors or a knife. Now that I have my cross spread, I'm just gonna reach over to my other crossbar and I'm just gonna get this positioned. Now I'm gonna go to the other side and make sure I have this clamp clipped around just like this, where you're gripping on both side of your raised rail. Now I'm gonna do that positioning just like that, make sure everything is gripping. And then from there I'm gonna get my measurement. So you're gonna measure from the front of this bar to the back of this guy and make sure that you're at a minimum of 27 1/2 inches. As far as weight requirements, you want to keep in mind that you want to see what the owner manual says about how much you can put on top. Alright, now that we have this guy torqued down, we're gonna go ahead and put our cover on. Now we're nice and secure and we're ready to roll. Now if you wanted to add on a key lock core, you can throw it in at this point, or you can use the plastic lock knockouts to go into the hole. Thanks for taking a look at the Thule Wing Bar Edge roof rack for our 2025 BMW X5. I'm Ed, this is etrailer, and you have a great day.

Fits perfectly and looks great. Install was easy, but needs time and care to line up well.
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.
every thing worked perfectly and was easy to install. used it to go paddle boarding the very next day.
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.
Quick shipping. Installed this morning with no issues.
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.
I received all the required parts in excellent condition. The installation went very smoothly as planned on my 2022 Subaru WRX!
Easy to install, directions were clear. Better, more solid design than earlier Thule racks.
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!
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.
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.
E trailer had this Thule part necessary to put a rack on our new car, even when our local stores were not able to help us. We had a successful fall canoe trip, thank to them!
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.
Wonderful product! Easy installation. Pleasure doing business with etrailer.com. SUPERB customer service.
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.
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.
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.
Imagine that…. Easy step by step instructions!!! Had it assembled and on the car in under an hour. Great product, great quality!
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!
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.
Two of the Boxes were opened and taped closed. Box 2 was missing the instructions but I was able to download and print them from trailers web site. The shorter of the two cross bars had been opened the rubber pieces had been installed, however they were installed incorrectly so the rubber had folds in it where it was to fit in the channel. It took me quite a while and a lot of extra work to get the pieces in the way they are supposed to fit. Couldn’t get them to fit as well as the ones that had not been wrongly installed but they are good enough to hopefully not pop out or make excessive wind noise
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
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.
