Recommended Thule Roof Rack for a 2023 Volvo XC40 w/ Flush Rails

Question

Question:

Good morning, My vehicle- 2023 Volvo XC40 My question is about the proper length of the Thule Wingbar Evo that would allow enough space on the rack to carry two kayaks in the Horizontal position. The kayaks are a max width of 29. The kayaks racks are the Thule DockGlides. Thank you

I checked with Thule for your 2023 Volvo XC40 with flush rails, you will want the 53" WingBar Evo Crossbars item # TH711420. This crossbar is 6" longer than the 47" WingBar Evo item # TH711220 that is recommended for your Volvo. You'll have just enough room to transport two 29" wide kayaks horizontally using the Thule DockGlide Kayak Carrier item # TH896.

Here are the rest of the parts you will need to attach the crossbars to the flush rails on your roof:

Evo Flush Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars - Flush Side Rails - Qty 4 item # TH710601

Fit Kit for Thule Evo Flush Rail and Edge Flush Rail Roof Rack Feet - 6010 item # TH186010

There are a couple of differences between the two. The JetStream bars like #Y00425 are made of extruded aluminum while the CoreBars such as the #Y00421 you've looked at are constructed of galvanized steel. As you've mentioned, the CoreBar has…

The Motion 3 #TH67PN and the XT are virtually identical. The only real difference is the appearance of the top shell on the Motion 3 which also makes it more aerodynamic. Both of these have the same carrying capacity. Personally I would choose…

The Malone Universal Crossbar System #MPG201 is a more economical choice but it still does a good job. The design and quality of Thule's system is why they have such a large difference in price. Whether you go with the Thule Crossroads system…

Hello Reyes; at this time (September 2024) there are no Rhino-Rack roof racks confirmed to fit your 2024 GMC Acadia AT4. The only roof racks we have that are confirmed to fit your raised rails are from Malone like the AirFlow2 #MAL74AR or #MPG215.

Answer 12

Hi Dennis; you aren't going to find information on the static load listed from the roof rack manufacturers. Our general guidelines for tents like the #Y79XR are that the roof rack must have a minimum load capacity of 165 lbs which this rack does…
