This fit kit lets you mount Thule Rapid Podium-style feet to your vehicle with factory roof-rack tracks. The fit kit includes pads, hardware, and tools necessary for installation.I already had an "older" Thule roof/bike rack,
purchased for a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee, then used on a 2010 Hyundai
Elantra Touring (this was the roof rack with the "strapped-on to roof rails"
feet, and the bike carriers with the cantilevered, front fork-secured,
mechanism). My new 2013 Hyundai Elantra GT does NOT have roof rails, thus
the need for this new Thule package consisting of: 1) TH460 - Thule Podium
Roof Mounted Foot Pack for Square Load Bars, 2) THKIT3068 - Thule Fit Kit
for Podium Syle Foot Pack and 3) THLB50 - Thule Square Load Bars - Steel -
50" - Qty 2. MY plan was to "re-use" the pair of "older" Thule bike
carriers.
Etrailer's online info was excellent. The installation videos (although not
for this identical package on the same vehicle as mine - but the 2012 Honda
CRV's roof-mounting system is very close to the Hyundai's) were even MORE
excellent! The box arrived on-time. The components were all there, and
undamaged. The installation instructions were clear and concise... even for
these 67 year-old eyes/mind! My "older" Thule bike carriers fit
PERFECTLY... the new load bars are identical to my old ones (the only reason
I needed new ones was I'd "cut down" the old ones when I moved the rack from
the Grand Cherokee to the Elantra Touring, and now they were ~2" too
short!!!).
We tow the car behind our motorhome and we've found the Thule roof-mounted
products to be excellent for our needs... holding up to three bikes on the
top of our "dinghy".
Dealing with the folks at Etrailer.com was a very pleasant experience!
Purchased the fit kit and set of locks for my Thule Podium roof rack. The item was specific for my car and all parts were accounted for and installation was easy. Thanks
etrailer's service and speed of delivery was perfect. However, although the product is top quality, it permanently mounts, which means there is a constant wind noise and drag on fuel economy. I would recommend getting a system that is easily removed and installed unless you plan on using it very frequently.
The product is exactly what I was expecting. I installed and used it for the first time yesterday, and it worked great. Installation instructions were not as clear as I would have liked, so it is important to look carefully at all the instructions before starting the installation process.
The fit kit was very quickly shipped to me, and etrailer.com had the best price for this product.
Perfect fit....fast delivery...just like factory installed...2 bikes plus 2 kayaks in summer, ski box in winter
Although instructions are minimal and pictures only the installation is easy and the product lokks great.
excellent product..thule lasts
