Question:
I just bought and installed the Thule Aero Bars, only to find out once I tried to mount my existing Thule Sidearm bike rack, that the carriage bolts were too short. Is this a known issue? Can I get longer bolts, or a clamp for the botton that fits the bars profile better? What do you recommend?

Expert Reply:
In order to use your Thule Sidearm Roof Mounted Bike Rack part TH594XT on your new crossbars you will actually need to use the Thule Xadapt3 Xsporter Load Bar Adapter part # THXADAPT3 which gives you the longer bolts to install the rack.
