Hello Fred,

I need a little more information from you. Do you have the older LB78 bars? If they are the older style square bars, we do not have parts that will work, but if they are the newer style, we do.

Could you please check the bottom of the bar? If it has a full-length slot, it is the newer style, and if it is flat, it is the older style. The newer bars have that slot for the feet to attach, while the older bars do not. Please verify what kind they are. I appreciate your time, and look forward to hearing back from you.

They are the older bars without slots. Thank you! Best regards!

@FredH I don't think they still have the feet for the older bars, but let me reach out to my contact there. I will let you know as soon as I hear back.

@Fred I am really sorry Fred, but Thule confirmed that they no longer have the feet. Do do you happen to still have the old feet? Is there a number on them? I would like to see if there is a way to make them work with new pads, that is if you have a naked roof.
