Question:

Hi, do you have one with bigger arc? I replaced my car and this new one came with thicker roof bars. The regular bracket is not large enough to embrace the root bar. I love my rack and really dont want tor replace it. Thx!

Helpful Expert Reply:

Your original Thule ProRide XT # TH598004 was designed to fit on square bars or the Thule pro bar, but not aero style bars, so there's not going to be an adapter to allow for this. With that said, if your new car has an aftermarket kit that has T-slots on the tops of the bars then you could use the # TH33RV which is an M6 bolt that is 35mm long and will allow you to mount the ProRide in your T-slots.

If your current bars do not have T-slots then you would need to either switch bars, or go with a new rack. I've gone ahead and linked our entire selection of roof rack mounted bike carriers to this answer if you wanted to have a look.
