Roof Rack Recommendation for 2006 Jeep Liberty with Raised Side Rails

Updated 08/29/2016 | Published 08/27/2016

Question:

Hi Im trying to convert a Thule roof rack from gutterless to roof rails. I have the 853-2341-07 bars, the 853-2474 locking ends and the feet with the rubber pads and metal grips for gutterless it was on a ford focus. I want to fit it to an 06 Jeep Liberty which comes with roof rails, I think I just need new feet 753-3603, can you confirm that will work please? Regards

The load bar that you have is a specialty crossbar for a specific roof rack setup and the square load bars from Thule have been discontinued. I really can't recommend you use this bar with the components needed to complete a roof rack on your vehicle.

Instead I would recommend you just get the part # MPG216 which comes with everything needed and is confirmed as a fit for the raised side rails of your 2006 Jeep Liberty.
