Hey Justin. You will need three of the Thule Square Bar Adapter item # 1500050552 to attach the Thule ProRide item # TH598004 to a set of square bars. Two in the front and one in the rear. They are sold individually.

I have linked the installation instructions for the Thule ProRide item # TH598004 below so you can see how to get these adapters installed.

What kind of bike do you have?

Hi Jerred, I have multiple bikes from mountain to road to fixgear. Video was very helpful thank you. I see there are more parts needed then just this bracket. My rack is Volkswagen rebranded Thule and came in without any of them. Any kits available that would have this bracket, the plastic handle, bolts and large block? Thanks
