When you’re carrying kayaks, canoes, or camping gear, reliable support is what matters most. The Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack includes two 53" long aluminum crossbars that hold up to 165 lbs when used within your vehicle’s roof load rating. The sturdy build gives you the confidence to load heavy gear for long trips without worrying about flex or shifting.
Wind noise can wear on you during highway drives. The WingBar Evo’s aero-style shape and split rubber strips in the top channels help reduce wind noise and vibration while you’re driving. You’ll notice smoother airflow over the bars, keeping things quieter and more comfortable mile after mile.
Whether it’s kayaks in summer, skis in winter, or a cargo box on a cross-country trip, the WingBar Evo is ready for it all. The top channels work with both channel-mount and clamp-on accessories, so you can easily attach bike racks, water sport carriers, or luggage boxes without fussing with adapters. It’s designed to fit the gear you already use and whatever comes next.
Some roof racks make you cut rubber strips just to mount accessories—but not this one. The top channels on these bars use split strips that automatically flex open when you slide in your mounts. No trimming needed, no gaps left behind. This keeps installation easy while sealing out noise and weather once your gear’s locked in place.
If you want extra security for your rack and accessories, the Thule One-Key System locks are sold separately. Add them to help deter theft of both the rack and any channel-mounted gear when you’re parked overnight or at a trailhead. It’s an optional upgrade that keeps everything secure between adventures.

Not nearly as happy as I was! I love the rack style, and it works OK, but the rubber strips on top are a bad design. Once I had one of the strips fly off while driving, and the wind noise was horrible after that. Luckily, I made a note of where I was, and went back and found the strip on a freeway. This time I GLUED it in, because even though it was properly seated the first time, it came off. Then, the same thing happened on the rear rack! This time I caught it before it blew off. The front one had been driven over by a car or two, so I was going to replace it rather than reuse it - until I found the price of this simple piece of blow away rubber - it was outlandish I think it was $80 for a set - ridiculous at even half that price!. So I ended up gluing them in AND I put an eye bolt on both ends - since it seems to come loose at an end and work its way across. The idea is good, but the captive track is not adequate, and Id rather just take them off - but the wind noise is unbearable, so Im just going to make due.

Review of Entire set: After a year of using this, it still works very well. Easy to take on and off your car and make slight adjustments if needed. Only maintaining is really just cleaning it which is simple enough. No issues with lockingunlocking with the keys. It has definitely helped saved space for my tiny Honda Civic.

Hi Michael, thanks for the review! For future reference, you might consider trying a wind fairing to help cut down on noise. These will not get rid of all sound, but they are designed to cut down on noise quite a bit. I hope this helps!

Sorry to hear that you were missing one of the end caps. If you let me know if you're missing a left (driver) or right (passenger) we can get you a replacement shipped.

My purchase from etrailer.com was world class. And their service was superb. They are a 5-star organization. They are knowledgeable folks with experience in what they sell. They will quickly get you out of what would otherwise be a nasty, complex situation and make it look easy. You can trust this company. Put them to work for you. Note, I do not own stock in this company but wish I did.

I can see that you got the 52 inch Thule square bars. The square bars are known to whistle compared to the aerodynamic cross bars. I recommend the Thule AirScreen XT part # TH22WV to divert the wind up and over the cross bars to eliminate some of the wind noise.

It’s been a year since I purchased and installed these. They’re still holding up and look great. I added a roof rack on top of it using the slots and t-bolts. Definitely worth every penny! You will not be disappointed! ????
