Question:

Do you have towers for flushed rail roof that can take traditional Thule Square bars no slot? It’s for 2011 Audi A4 wagon. Thanks.

Expert Reply:

The towers for the original Thule SquareBar have been since discontinued so you are actually going to need to replace the entire assembly with either the:

-Thule SquareBar Evo Crossbars # TH712400, with the Evo Clamp Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH710501, and the Fit Kit for Thule Evo Clamp and Edge Clamp Roof Rack Feet # TH145084 if you have the 4-door wagon with no existing crossbars.

Or

-Thule SquareBar Evo Crossbars # TH712200, with the Evo Flush Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH710601, and the Fit Kit for Thule Evo Flush Rail and Edge Flush Rail Roof Rack # TH186019 if you have the Avant Wagon with flush mounted rails.

Both of these crossbars have a 220-lb weight capacity, are made from heavy-duty galvanized steel, and will accommodate most universal-mount bike, water, snow and cargo carriers.
