Specs:
TheThule WingBar Evo crossbars let you quickly and easily build a quiet, aerodynamic custom roof rack for your vehicle. These high-end bars look great on any vehicle, and they are perfect for those who want a quiet roof rack that can carry plenty of gear. The bars have dual rubber strips in the T-slots and pivoting endcaps that allow you to easily mount carriers and accessories. Each bar extends past the feet to maximize carrying capacity. The bars are constructed of aluminum with internal BoxBeam structures that make them extremely durable yet lightweight. The WingBars require a Thule foot pack (sold separately) to mount the rack to your roof. Some vehicles - such as those with a naked roof - may also require a vehicle-specific fit kit (sold separately).
Aerodynamic TrailEdge Design with WindDiffuser Strips
The WingBar's tapered TrailEdge shape helps reduce wind drag by separating the airflow over and under the bars so you won't see a reduction in your vehicle's gas mileage. This also dramatically reduces wind noise and vibration - even at highway speeds - and eliminates the need to add a fairing to your roof rack.
The rubber WindDiffuser strips in the T-slots have V-shaped ridges that direct air over the tops of the bars. This reduction in wind drag also helps maintain fuel efficiency and significantly reduces wind noise.
Channel-Mounted and Clamp-On Accessories
WingBar Evo crossbars have built-in T-slots with rubber strips that simply press into place. This makes them easier to install when compared with strips that have to be threaded into the channel from the end of the bar. The dual-strip design also makes accessories easier to install in the T-slots when compared with strips that have to be trimmed. Simply lift the SwingBlade endcaps open, slide your gear into the channel, and close the endcaps. These rubber strips also seal the gaps left by your accessories so that water and dirt don't get into the T-slots.
You can also attach most universal, clamp-on accessories and carriers to the bars.
Strong, Durable Construction
The WingBar Evo crossbars are made of anodized aluminum with internal BoxBeam structures. These structures strengthen the bars without significantly increasing their weight. Additionally, because the bars are aluminum, they won't rust or corrode so you can leave them on your roof year-round.
Hassle-Free Installation
Installation of the WingBar Evo crossbars is quick and easy, and you don't have to do any drilling or vehicle modification. The bars have bottom channels that accommodate your Thule feet. SmartSlide sliding scales in the bottom channels let you place the feet in the proper location using the vehicle-specific measurements provided in your fit kit manual. Simply slide each scale to the measurement indicated in the fit kit manual, then slide the foot into the channel until it rests against the scale.
For applications that don't require specific measurements provided in a fit kit manual - such as a raised rail - you can center the rack after you place it on your vehicle using a tape measure. Then slide the scales against the feet to fill in the gaps in the channel.
Insert the included rubber filler strips into each channel between the outer edges of the feet and the ends of the bars, and trim the excess. These rubber strips, coupled with the sliding scales, help to keep dirt and water out of the bottom channels and help to reduce whistling.
To complete installation on your roof simply tighten a single screw inside each foot using the torque tool included with the foot pack. This single attachment point enables you to secure the crossbar to the foot and the foot to your roof simultaneously.

Premium, aerodynamic crossbars attach to Thule feet to create a quiet, stylish roof rack for your vehicle. Dual rubber strips in T-slots let you easily mount accessories - no trimming required. Simple to center and install with integrated scales.Overall solid product. The little rubber strips that fit into the top bar are relatively fragile, I installed them, pulled one out to trim about 1/8 inches of excess length and the strip deformed such that it never went back in correctly. Fortunately etrailer had replacement strips.
Thule is an excellent product and the fit on my 2017 Chevrolet Colorado is perfect. The good people at etrailer were super helpful in getting the correct fit parts to me as quickly as possible, especially during a tough year for all. I’ve found my Thule racks to be the perfect tool to take our kayaks on our adventures!
I’ve been searching for a set of crossbars for my 2021 Crosstrek. After looking at several different companys,, I decided to go with etrailer.com and get the Thule Wingbar Evo Crossbars and Evo Raised feet. Ordering was quick and shipping was even faster! Installed them in about an hour with no issues. I love the way they look, and the construction is solid. Shout out to the staff for doing a great job and for the great communication from placing the order, confirmation, updates and shipping the order. You will not be disappointed!
I've always trusted Thule bars. I have an old Xsporter on my truck that works really well and it has held up over time. I needed to get a Thule rack for my Jeep Grand Cherokee and found that etrailer had all the parts I needed specified for my model. That was one of my favorite things about the site. No need to search around for the different parts to attached onto the factory rails. Once I received the rack and components, it was really easy to install. I pretty much watched the etrailer videos before hand. I have the older Hullavator 897XT to haul my kayak in. With the WingBar Evo, I found I needed to get a slightly longer bolt (6-1.00 x 30), which I got from the local Ace hardware store, to attached the Hullavator support bracket to the WingBar. Once I got those bolts set up, I was on the water with the kayak the next day. Talked to the customer service a few times and they are great friendly people. And I can understand what they are saying.
Items arrived later than expected despite cancelling an month long order due to waiting stock on a different set up that was in stock. Once it arrived the box was all torn up and the person that delivered it just dropped it in the garage with the boxes spilling out of the bigger box. Love Thule products, etailer and the shipping supplier not so much,
These bars are light weight and easy to set up. However, the measurements in the directions were not right to fit them to my vehicle, and they were really difficult to adjust once the bars were on the roof. They seem to be snug on the roof and working well, I did a test drive yesterday at varying speeds and they are secure. They don't cause any unpleasant noise - you'd forget they were on there.
It is great. I love appearance of the Thule roof rack that I install today.
I’ve owned this roof rack for a year now and it’s perfect! Very strong, stable, easy to install, and has held up for many many long trips with kayaks attached to my 2017 Camry. It still looks brand new and I’m sure it’s going to last me forever. Thanks so much!
I have a 2011 Subaru Outback, I had to modify this unit just a bit to get them to fit. The groves that the rack mount slide into needed to be cut out some more so that the rack mounts would close up properly when tightened. I used a dremil with a cutting wheel to extend them about 3/4" on each one. Then they fit just fine.
Great product. Successfully assembled and installed it myself in about 3 hours. A more detailed assembly video would be helpful. Other than that; I'm 100% satisfied!
This fits our 2019 Toyota RAV4 Adventure no problems! The install video on etrailer was a huge help! Take your time with the bolts. They can be a bit tricky. We found some of the weld nuts had a little angle to them. Also, the right side is a very tight spot to work in. I used a slim ratchet to make life easier.
This item fit my Ford Transit Connect with flush mounted rails perfectly. I have a roof top tent and now it is securely mounted properly. It's expensive both worth the investment knowing that my tent won't fall off. etrailer shipped my item quickly and I got it within two days. If I every need anything else I will be sure to use etrailer again!
Very well constructed, powder coating will stand the test of time. I am a fan of Thule, their products are excellent and well thought out... I'm impressed!
Cross rails look good and strong. Nice design. Just didn’t know I needed to spend twice as much more to get mounting hardware. Thought this would all come together. Little disappointed
Bruce - 02/13/2021Works Great to hold our Kayaks & Paddle Boards
Excellent product, makes carrying my kayak so easy. One year in and I wouldn’t change anything.
Even though these were the Thule Aero bars instead of the older square bars, they produced significant wind noise and I removed the roof rack and installed a hitch instead.
Brooke M - 09/07/2021I am very happy with the Thule racks purchased from etrailer for my Mazda CX-5. Everything was included, easy to fit together and the assembled racks feel very secure. To top it off, the sales help from etrailer was excellent - my original rack selection was backordered and they got in touch with me to offer one that was readily available.
Very sleek design and well built, the only thing I wish I would have had was better instructions on tearing the rubber seal apart to install in the top of the Wing-bar. Once I found the instructions on etrailer of the newer strip and the process to install all was well! Thanks for the posted videos to help in the install!
High quality material and easy to insta ll
Installed on’17 4 Runner. Works great for hauling the canoe
Very thorough shopping e-commerce provided by vendor to help selecting the best options to fit my truck. However the Oder updates are a bit slow and due to the time lags between changes , confirmations are confusing. Telephone assistant was great but took long time to resolve issues by the first respondent. The second one was much better. Items needed to support the whole set up have to be doubled checked by myself otherwise one item was missed accidentally and the answer was vendor assumed buyer’s decision is correct. Product delivered extremely fast once all issues are cleared, this is marvelous especially the shipping is free under this promotional period. Installation is user friendly, spent about two hours and satisfactorily completed by myself. All looks cool and good!!
Easy to use. Entire rack system works g reat.
My product is dented and bent
Brooke M - 08/30/2021Well constructed and easy to assemble.
