Question:
My daughter is looking for a roof rack to carry a kayak. She has a 2021 Toyota RAV 4 that does not have any roof racks currently attached. Can you give me a few options to look at?

Hey Perry,
If the RAV4 doesn't have any rails running from front to back on the roof then you would have a naked roof and would need the following roof rack components:
-Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Silver - 53" Long - Qty 2 # TH711400
-Evo Clamp Feet for Thule Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Qty 4 # TH710501
-Fit Kit for Thule Evo Clamp and Edge Clamp Roof Rack Feet - 5237 # TH98DE
If the RAV4 has rails that run from front to back on the roof but you can't get your finger between them and the roof of the car then you have flush-mounted rails and would need the following roof rack components:
-Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Silver - 50" Long - Qty 2 # TH711300
-Evo Fixpoint Feet for Thule Evo Crossbars - Fixed Mounting Points and Tracks - Qty 4 # TH49SC
-Fit Kit for Thule Evo Fixpoint and Edge Fixpoint Roof Rack Feet - 7055 # TH78RE
If the RAV4 has rails that run front to back that you can get your fingers under then you have raised rails and would need the following roof rack components:
-Thule WingBar Edge Crossbar - Aluminum - Silver - 34" Long - Qty 1 # TH56RE
-Thule WingBar Edge Crossbar - Aluminum - Silver - 30-1/2" Long - Qty 1 # TH36RE
-Edge Raised Rail Feet for Thule Edge Crossbars - Raised, Factory Side Rails - Qty 4 # TH69SC
