Will Roof Bike Rack Designed to Fit Top Channel of Audi Crossbars fit Thule Wingbar Evo Bars

Question:

Hi, I have three Audi-branded bike carriers that came off my previous Audi Q5 and I would like to re-fit them to my Acura 2019 RDX. These Audi bike carriers attach to a cross rail by sliding small flat anchor bolts into a T-slot on top of the rail. The Acura RDX has flush-mounted roof bars and the OEM cross rails use the Thule Podium Foot Pack branded as Acura. It looks like I could replace the OEM cross rails with the Thule WingBar Evo rails, but before I do I want to know that my existing bike carriers would fit the T-slot on the WingBar Evos. The Audi anchor bolts are 12/16 in by 2/16 inch. Would these fit into the WIngBar Evo T-slot? What is your return policy? If I order a set of these rails and the bike carriers dont fit, can I return them? Thanks for your help!

The Thule Wingbar top channels like on the part # TH711420 that you referenced are compatible with the bike racks you have that were designed to fit the Audi brand crossbar top channels.

To complete the rack you'll also need the Thule Feet part # TH460R and the fit kit part # THKIT3132.
