Artificial gutters work very well. Thanks
I think the gutter brackets are great. they are easy to install , and seam to be of an extruded aluminum stock. great stuff for exterior use. I first used a 4 foot level for a straight edge so i could parallel the camper windows. after laying out the location , using the rack to find the best elevation, dry mounted to the gutter bracket. I marked this location. I made sure this location was parallel to the windows. Then I used the backing plate as a template while drilling , this guarantees a perfect fit. A little silicon for fit up and bolt in place . As you can see my rack is a Yakima system. But the Tully gutter brackets work great. I was glad to see they were made in the U.S.A. very cool . you need to include this bit of info in your ads ... thanks for your help.. I am a kayak fisherman. California and Baja. this will work good...see ya,,,,,
Have ordered and used the Thule 542 before, so I know the product itself is just fine. Actually, the 542's are better than other similar mounts that I looked at. The difference is the customer service I received from Andrew L. He did a great job, was polite and professional. Can't find that combination very often anymore!!

The Thule mounts are holding up just fine. No complaints and would recommend to others.
The Thule artificial rain gutters are the perfect solution for creating the rain gutters I need on my camper shell in order to attach my vintage surf racks. Etrailer.com was the perfect outlet to have ordered these through. They provided fast shipping and outstanding customer service!! Highly recommend both the rain gutters and etrailer.com Thank you.
I have ordered from etrailer prior to this order with very good results. My current order is no exception, shipped very quickly and in perfect condition. I haven't had a chance to install the rain gutters but I did size it up and see no potential problems. I will let everyone know how I made out once it's installed.
Was a little frustrated with the communication on the product since when I bought it the website said there were some in stock and then got an email that it wasn’t and would be delayed by a week. They got it out quicker than expected and with all the delays in online ordering due to Covid 19, I have to say they did a good job getting the item to me quick. It’s the first time I tried Etrailer and think I’ll try them again as an alternative to online shopping. Thanks!
the retention bumps that stop the rack from sliding off are on the rail are better placed and a little bigger.
it is 1/2 the price of yakima that i purchased before because you get 4 instead of two from Yakima for the same price.
Used them on my son’s camper top on his pickup. They work great! They’re used to support his kayak, canoe, and bicycle. A wonderful product.
I ordered Thule ARGs and everything went perfect - good communication, fast shipping, excellent service - Thanks.
The rain gutters themselves are great. I used these on a pop top VW Eurovan had to find other screws, as the included ones were too long, would wear holes in the canvass of the pop top.
It’s a good product, and the service was above and beyond. Greg did a great job, and the product arrived in a timely manner. Thx!
The entire process and discussion was p erfect!
Received items promptly and everything looks great. Thank you.
Looks to be good quality
There were very easy to mount on My new ARE topper
Good product, well made.

Looks great on your Gladiator, Rodney! Where are you headed to now with the rack?
fit was perfect. incredibly happy to find this part as I did not want to purchase a new system.
Good stuff, quickly deliveres; just one oops. I was not aware that, along with the gutter feet, I also need to have the parts that clamp over the feet to lock onto the gutter. I ordered those next and await their arrival so I can finish my project. I especially like the Thule rectangular bars because they allow me to attach several (unorthodox) devices, including a cargo basket, not made by Thule. I consider that quite eccumenical of Thule Co. Thanks!
Great way to add a third crossbar/towers without buying an entire footpack.
Ordered as a replacement for a part that was lost - exact fit - works great on the Jeep XJ.

Did you use sealant in addition to the rubber gaskets that are provided with these artificial gutters? If so, where did you use it and how much? Thanks!
