According to my contact at Thule, their Replacement Slide Scale # 8526596004, sounds like it is the product that you are looking for.

This is the incremented strip that is installed on the underneath side of the Thule AeroBlade bars that are a total of 55 inches long and 53 inches without the SwingBlade endcaps. Please note this replacement smart strip only fits the AeroBlade crossbars.
