Can Older Style Thule Square Bars Fit 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit  

Published 11/29/2021

Question:

I have a pair of Thule 50inch Square Crossbars purchased in 2007. SKU 4035-911 that I used with the Aero Foot Pack, Sku 5397-062. I read here that they are the same dimensions as the newer Square Bars, but that the bottom channel is different. Will they work with new Thule Footpacks/Mounts? My ski rack is the FLT-TP horizontal rack, sku 5397-062. I had used Fit Kit #2141 for my 2007 VW Rabbit. Are other Fit Kits available to use this system on other cars? Am looking to sell the whole outfit, or the components. I have the lockset installed, too.

Helpful Expert Reply:

Thule did change their square crossbars in the way you mentioned by adding a channel to the bottom of the bars so that they attach to the feet via that instead of by wrapping around them with the foot. So while I have a solution for you...what that means is that you wouldn't be able to use your current bars with the newer foot design.

What you can do is use the Inno feet part # INSUT with the fit kit part # INK852 which is a fit for your 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit since the Inno square bars like # INB127 are the exact same dimensions as the Thule bars.
