Question:

We have two vehicles - a 2016 Tesla Model S, with Whispbar rails, and a 2016 Mercedes E400 Wagon, with built-in side rails and factory Mercedes removable cross-bars. Will the Thule Criterium work for both these vehicle setups? Let me know if you need me to send a picture. Thanks!

Helpful Expert Reply:

The Thule Criterium part # TH598 will work for both of your vehicles but will require you use the adapter part # Xadapt8 as long as your Mercedes bars have built in channels on top of them.

Otherwise the easiest solution would be the Thule ProRide part # TH598004 which is a similar frame mounted bike rack that would fit both without the use of an adapter.
