Question:
I have a gen 5 2021 rav 4- will the 13553 thule Wingbar Evo fit? i currently have the 160cm and it will not fit as the channels arent cut deep enough towards the center of the bar so i can not attach both side of the bar to the feet. I have the flush rails on the roof. looking to see if the 135cm will fit as i need the extra length compared to the 127

You won't have any problem getting the 53" Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars item # TH711420 in black or item # TH711400 in silver to fit. The size recommended for your RAV4 is the 50" item # TH711320 so it is only an extra 1-1/2" on either side.
