Question:

What factors should I consider when deciding between the Thule Top Track Roof Mount with Podium Towers over the Thule EVO Clamps? I have a 2017 Hyundai Elantra Sport with bare roof. Thanks!

Expert Reply:

I recommend going with the Evo Clamp Feet over the Rapid Podium Feet any day. The Rapid Podium feet were the older design and are being replaced by the Evo Clamp feet. The Evo Clamp feet match the contours of the newer Evo crossbars and will be relevant for a lot longer as well. For your 2017 Hyundai Elantra you'll need the following:

53" WingBar Evo Crossbars - Black # TH711420 or Silver # TH711400
Evo Clamp Feet - # TH710501
Fit Kit - # TH145069
Lock Core Kit - # TH450400 (optional)

If you let me know what you plan on using the roof rack for I'll be more than happy to make an additional recommendation for you!
