Can I Use A Yakima Rocketbox With A Thule Wingbar Roof Rack?

Question

Question:

Hi - I have a Yakima Rocketbox Pro 14 cargo box that I use on one car with Yakima crossbars. I have a second car, a 2021 Kia Niro EV with flush side rails. Parts for the Yakima crossbars for this second car the Kia Niro have continuously been unavailable and I need to get crossbars installed ASAP. Thules WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 47inch Long - part number: TH711220 with Evo Flush Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars - Flush Side Rails - part number: TH710601 and fit kit 6076 are in stock. But is my Rocketbox Pro 14 compatible with this Thule set?

Yes, you can absolutely use your Yakima Rocketbox # Y07192 with a Thule Wingbar setup. The Rocketbox is made to fit virtually any crossbar shape.

You were spot on with the other parts you picked out for your 2021 Kia Niro EV. It will be # TH711220 for the crossbars, # TH710601 for the feet, and # TH57JV for your fit kit.
