Question:
Thule website recommends the 135 bars but you show the 127. I prefer the shorter bars but just want to make sure it’s correct. Thanks and have a great day!

Hey Chris, thanks for reaching out!
You should be using the 135 bars for your 2019 Ford Explorer. I'm not sure why we have the wrong size listed, but I've sent in a note to have that corrected so hopefully it gets fixed in our system in the near future.
This means you need the following individual parts to make the complete roof rack for the flush rails on your Explorer:
- 53" WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420
- Flush Rail Feet # TH710601
- Fit Kit # TH25RE
- Lock Core Kit # TH450400 (optional)
You can ignore the "this doesn't fit your vehicle" messages that pop up within our system as I've verified these are the correct parts directly with Thule.
What are you planning on using the roof rack for?
