When you load up heavy gear like kayaks, canoes, or cargo boxes, you want bars that don’t flex or shake. The Thule WingBar Evo crossbars are built from aluminum and rated for a 165 lb weight capacity. That strength means solid confidence whether you’re driving local backroads or heading out for a long trip.
Long drives can get tiring if your roof rack hums in the wind. The WingBar Evo design uses an aerodynamic profile and split rubber strips in the top channels to cut down on wind noise and vibration. The strips stay in place around your accessory mounts, so you don’t have to trim or fuss with them, keeping things quiet and clean.
This rack handles a wide range of setups—cargo boxes for vacations, kayak carriers for weekend paddling, or snow gear in winter. The aero-style crossbars work with both channel-mount and clamp-on accessories, so you can use the gear you already own without extra adapters. It’s a flexible setup that keeps up with changing adventures.
The kit includes two 47" crossbars, four Evo Flush Rails feet, and a custom fit kit designed to install on flush rails. Everything fits together precisely so the rack stays tight and stable under load. You can also add Thule One-Key System locks (sold separately) to keep the rack and channel-mount gear protected when you’re parked overnight or away from your vehicle.

Hey, Trailblazer owners! Today, we're gonna take a look at the Thule Wingbar Evo for flush rails on our 2025 Chevy Trailblazer. Now, what we're gonna do is, see how well it fits and how easily we can install it. Now, being a Trailblazer owner, you're fully aware that it's pretty limited as far as your cargo space. So this is gonna help you as you go down the road. So, being a Trailblazer owner, it's a pretty high probability you purchased this vehicle because it's flat towable. And what that means for you is, this is gonna add to the amount of stuff you can bring along with you to make those memories.
This gives you this entire roof to add a basket, kayak, carrier, bike carrier, whatever you can think of to get the most outta your time. Now, taking a closer look at what you're gonna do, this guy right here is based off of a wing design. The wingbar is shaped like a wing, and it's gonna give you access to your top strip right here. So you have a T-channel slot, so you can slide down T-channel accessories and it also has a rubber strip that's gonna help reduce your wind noise. Now, as far as the towers themselves, these guys are made of the same types of plastics that manufacturers use on a vehicle.
So it's designed to deal with the harsh heat and cold no matter where you are. So if you're in the Southwest or the Northeast during the wintertime, you're gonna be good to go with this guy. And then you have your custom pads right here to design, to contour around your rooftop. Because the trailblazer has fixed mountain points, you get what you get. This is gonna be the spreads you have and you're just gonna like it.
So it looks like you're right about 24 inches as far as your space in between. And as far as your overall height from the roof, you're right at 4 3/4 inches. So that's more than enough space for most rooftop accessories such as cargo boxes or cargo baskets. You could also put a bike up here. You could put just about anything that works with rooftop accessories.
Now, I would honestly love to see how you're going to use your wingbar. So why don't you go ahead and leave a comment below if there's something that I didn't mention that you would use this rooftop rack for. Now, as far as what you need to set it up, everything is in the box. So we're gonna go ahead and show you how to get this thing installed. To kind of get an idea as far as how the assembly goes, I installed the back crossbar as well as my platform so I can see where everything connects. And it's pretty straightforward. So from here, we're gonna actually assemble our foot pad and clamp system. So I'm just gonna start with removing my wingbar end cap. You can just press and pull and it'll just slide out the end. This part of it is steel tool-free, and you're gonna wanna make sure that this exterior part where you have this threaded bolt is sticking out. I'm just gonna slide it along the track. So you see this guy right here, we're just gonna slide it right along our track. And each one of these pieces are alphabetized. You have A, B, C, and we're gonna put 'em on in that order. So we're gonna make sure that these hooks are going towards the inside, and that's A. We have our pad that's going to match up to the shape of the bottom of our foot. And this guy will just press right in and we're gonna hook this guy down in here. So just so I can show you a little clearer, you can see how this matches up to that dip there, and you're just gonna hook that right on. And what holds it all together is this threaded bolt also. So you're just gonna twist this guy on here, hand-tight just enough to keep it together. All right, now, we're gonna put our end cap back on and install it on our roof. So at this point I'm just gonna reach across and just place it on top of my platform. And I'm gonna actually try to make my clamp around right here. And I'm just gonna hand-tighten. I'm not gonna use my torque wrench yet because I'm gonna need to make some more adjustments. So I'm gonna do the other side to make sure it's connected and then I'm just gonna adjust my bar so it's symmetrical with the vehicle. Alright, and now that I got it hand-tight, I'm gonna actually use my tool and I'm gonna go from side to side. So I'm not gonna tighten this all the way. I'm gonna go to the other side 'cause it tends to pull a little bit. And I'm gonna go each side to each side till I get it to right before it wants to torque. Once your wrench starts torquing you know it's tightened. From here, you're gonna be able to put the cover on your tower, and this is where you would actually lock it down if you added the Thule single key lockable option. Now, alternatively, you could go with something like the Thule wingbar edge right here that's going give you that cutoff here that gives you more of that OEM stock look. So again, this is Ed with etrailer.com, taking a look at the Thule Wingbar Evo on our 2025 Chevy Trailblazer. Have a great day.
Ratings & Reviews
Perfect fit and easy installation. Highly recommend for a lower profile rack. Also allows sunroof to vent on 2016 Lexus RX350. Haven’t driven with them on yet so I don’t know how road noise is at this time.
Very sturdy. Works well. The attachment to the roof rails on my 2023 chevy suburban works well. The "C" clamp design mechanism holds it tightly and securely in place. No fear of anything coming loose and falling off like other racks I have tried to use.
This is the first top of the line roof rack system I have purchased. I never expected to have issues but this thing is so universal, with gaps everywhere, that I can’t get it to stop whistling. I wish I could return and get my money back. I really expected something better from such an expensive system.
The packaging of the product was damaged when delivered, but eTrailer quickly replaced the two missing parts no questions asked. Great customer service and I appreciate working with the knowledgeable experts at etrailer to make sure everything I order works together.
The online tutorial was excellent and I was able to install the roof rack myself. The only disappointment is my board loader doesn’t work with the flush mount system.
Love Thule products!
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 old bars and then quick online ordering etc.
etrailer was the only place that was able to provide a solution for me! I have a 2022 GLC Benz with panoramic roof. I spent many $$ for Benz’s own cross bars. They looked great…integrated with the roof seamlessly. But I couldn’t open the panoramic roof! MAJOR FAIL!!
etrailer customized a set of Thule cross bars that not only work with my panoramic roof but are quieter and look even better than the Benz product. MAJOR AWESOME to etrailer. Now listing my Benz cross bars on Craigs.
My order was processed very quickly and shipped in a timely manner. Everything arrived in great shape. I am pairing my Thule crossbar kit with a Thule Force XT cargo box to increase my capacity for hauling camping gear for a family of 4 in a 2019 Subaru Forester. The installation and product review videos on your website are very helpful.
These crossbars were perfect for my 2019 Honda CRV! They do make a slight high pitched whistle at high speeds when the sunroof is open, but it’s certainly tolerable and understandable. They are strong and sturdy and haven’t faded a bit after a year of use.
Thule makes great products
And etrailer makes it too easy to get when needed.
I would give the WingBar Evos 5 stars wish more accessories were available.
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 ordered the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Silver - 50" with the Evo Flush Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars - Flush Side Rails and the Fit Kit for Thule Evo Flush Rail and Edge Flush Rail Roof Rack Feet for my 2020 Mazda CX9. I appreciated the product selector to make sure I was getting all the correct parts. I was happy with the products, but I did run into an issue where 1 of the rail feet had a defective bolt which required a replacement. I was very satisfied with etrailer's customer support, and how well they worked with me to get the part replaced quickly. I'm giving this a 4 start only because of the hassle of receiving a defective one initially
Easy to assemble and install. Love the way etrailer packages everything you need and they all are correct for the vehicle you are mounting them on. Once installed they appear very strong. Installed on a 2023 Chevy Tahoe and did not interfere with the sunroof.
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.
I’ve had it on my 2021 Kia Telluride now for a few months and it works great. When I was mounting the forward bar, I opened the sun roof to make sure I was comfortable with the roof window and bar clearance.
Rock Solid and good looking. Expensive but worth it!
Thule Rack looks awesome on my Kia Telluride. Products 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 one of the pieces of rubber while installing and etrailer sent me a new one at no charge. Definitely recommend etrailer.
Website is easy to use & is better at putting together the correct package than Thule’s site.
etrailer had all the parts in stock for my 2020 Kia Telluride.
Payment process was simple.
Received periodic updates from staffer on my order & could actually reply if needed.
Installing the roof rack went well. Estimate start to finish was about 2 hours. Found it best to really examine each diagram in Thule’s step by step instructions to get it all right on the first try.
Hardness part of the installation was getting the crossbars installed at the proper distances. A tailor’s soft measuring tape & some masking were great aids.
Thule has great quality and trailer is a great place to order from, highly recommend both!
Great looking product. Fits very well on the car and the bars are actually pretty quiet. It is somewhat a pain to mount and dismount so plan on 30-45 minutes at least. In my opinion, if you put them on leave them there for the season as it is not very friendly to mount or dismount.
Perfect fit. Easy to install. Excellent customer service and prompt shipping. These guys are great!! THANKS JEREMY!!
It took me a VERY long time to figure out what I needed to mount my Hullivator on my 22 Subaru Outback Limited. I bought the wrong parts on round 1, and finally after 2 yrs of frustration, asked AI what I needed. I don't entirely trust AI, but it got me on the right track. I asked the 'chat' person on etrailer about the AI suggestion, and the gal who helped me, Autumn, said the feet part was correct, but to use these feet and the TH37CE fit kit. I ordered immediately. Today was the day. Of note, the fit kit has specific parts for the front and rear passenger and front and rear driver side. Pay attention to the photo directions. The parts are different for each side. On my Outback, they mount at 69cm apart on the Subaru rails (folded in) on the Thule Wingbar Evo 55" bars. The cladding and design of the Outback roof system leaves much to be desired, but this worked and I'm looking forward to FINALLY using my Hullivator.
