Question:
Good afternoon. I have two Thule bike racks that I attached to my previous car which had a roof rack with T-channel bolts I have one thule UpRide, and one Thule Pro Ride XT. I replaced that car with a 2021 Rav4 which comes with the factory roof rack which does not have t-channel slots. I have three questions. 1 Will this roof rack support a bike rack? 2 If so, What adapter parts will I need to attach those bike racks to the Rav4 roof rack? 3 Does Thule make a roof rack that will bolt to the Rav4s factory racks bolt holes as opposed to having the standard mounting hooks that go under the door? Thank you!

Both your Thule UpRide # TH599000 and ProRide XT # TH598004 roof bike racks would have come with hardware to mount them directly to OEM instead of the T-Slots, but if you've misplaced the hardware we have replacements which you can find listed below:
M6 x 92 mm T-Bolt - # 853-6511 - 4 of these; 2 for each rack
M6 x 72 mm T-Bolt - # TH65BH - 1 of these for the UpRide
M6 x 64.5 mm T-Bolt - # TH49PM - 1 of these for the ProRide XT
Around the Bar Bracket - # 1500052940 - 6 of these; 3 for each bike rack
It sounds like you have the flush rails on your 2021 Toyota RAV4. If this is the case then Thule does have a roof rack that will uses bolts to secure to the flush rails. You will need the following parts:
50" WingBar Evo Crossbars - Black # TH711320 or Silver - # TH711300
Rapid Podium Feet - # TH460R
Fit Kit - # TH78RE
I've attached some videos for you to check out.
