Thule Wingbar Evo 108 (43”), Aluminum

I love these bars, great quality and sturdy!

It was complicated to put together. I like a challenge. But it works fine...

I used to have oem toyota and honda bars. This is really a pro level product. I did a lot of research, yakima vs this vs oem. No regrets. I have a 2021 honda odyssey and it was a bit tricky to get all the parts that fit. The bars should be 60 inch (for this car). They stick out a bit but that is great, gives so much more room on the roof. Looks stylish anyway. Choose the color that contrasts with the color of your car, you want the bars to be easily seen, for safety. My car is white, the bars black. The only feet that work are thule Rapid Crossroad. Dont worry about the straps, they are strong and have steel inside the rubber. They may be hard to find nowadays, got them at REI. No whistle at any speed with windows closed. With windows open i can hear some whistling at low speeds, doesn't bother me. Follow the correct orientation- like the airplane wing. Do get the locks on the feet- the caps don't hold very tight without them. My old thule gear (surfboard and kayak holders) needed longer bolts (1 cm longer each) but otherwise fit this bar. Get stainless carriage bolts m6 thread, they are better than thule black ones which rust. I got some from amzn / uxcell, some from ebay. The rubber tracks on the bars are great- so much easier to hold stuff and not have it slide, like the kayaks, when loading them and otherwise.

There isn't a lot of info out there on what roof racks work with the 2020 Ford Escape with panoramic roof. I took a gamble on the fit kit (6049), along with the evo flush rail foot pack and the 53" wingbar evo 135. It fit! Install was pretty easy. The only thing I had some frustration with was that I'd get all of my measurements perfectly set/centered/whatever but then as the bar tightens down it can pull you out of your perfect measurement a bit. It took a couple tries but I was able to get the bars perfectly centered and spaced eventually. Also, the end caps took a little finesse (gentle rubber mallet) to get pushed on, but it wasn't too bad. Start with the backside, tap tap tap, then make sure the middle area lines up with the rubber spacer, then keep tapping until it's all the way on. Better yet, there's at least 1/4" of clearance between the bar and the highest the panoramic roof goes while it's sliding back or tilting. There's a very slight increase in wind noise, and depending on which direction/speed wind is blowing from I pick up a tiny whistle somewhere in the 30-50 mph range. I haven't played around with moving the bars forward or backwards yet though. In any case, even with the radio on low the noise is easily drowned out. Overall, very pleased with my purchase.

Picked these up to add to my 2017 F150 with a Leer cap that has the Thule Tracker II system on it. Wanted to add the 2 extra bars on the cab for hauling a 16’ canoe. Bars are as expected from Thule. Solidly built and great design. My only complaint, and I’ve seen this before on other reviews, Thule needs to reinforce or pad the ends of the bars for shipment. It’s aluminum so it doesn’t take a lot to dent the ends. Both of my bars were dented from being tossed around during transit. Not a huge deal and honestly hardly noticeable until you try to install the end caps. It took a pair of needle nose pliers and about a half an hour to straighten the enough to accept the ends. Ended up with chipped paint and a little out of shape. Not a huge deal to me but others may not like that, especially for the price. Rack Attack was the supplier for my bars and they were great to work with. I accidentally fat fingered the wrong size and when I reached out to them they were able to adjust the order and it still showed up in just a couple of days. Great bars overall, just wish they’d sort out a little better way to package them for transit.

Installed these on my 2018 Subaru WRX STi. Fitment was perfect and this is a quality, well made product that I have no doubt will stand the test of time and work very well for hauling our two Kayaks. Instructions are not great but take your time, look up videos on youtube and you should be fine. Here is a full list of products required to order for this car: -Thule Wingbar Evo 118 (47”) -Thule 3131 Podium Fit Kit for 460 -Thule 460R Rapid Podium Foot Pack (Set of 4) **The only reason I gave it 4/5 stars is becuase I was a bit surprised at the level of wind noise considering the claims of the aerodynamics. Its the level of noise I expected I would have gotten if i had purchased the less expensive square bars.

Easy to install and for like a glove

Perfect fit. I tried a few used options on EBay and none of them were as advertised. These were the right size and style to match the base system I already had.

Ottimo prodotto

produit de bonne qualité

付属のゴムは真ん中から２つに割いてから、はめ込みます。最初はゴムの規格が違っているのかと思い、返品を考えました。

C117系claシューティングブレークに付けました。風きり音も想像以下の音量で満足しています。ルーフボックスを取り付けてもしっかりして安心感があります。 製品の内側の金属エッジ面取りが不十分なので取り付け時に手指を切らないよう気をつけてください。

前回まで使用していた、ステンレスの角タイプからこのタイプに変えました。まず、付けてい走っていることに気づかない。静かです。前回のは、風きり音をどうしたら消せるか考えていた。現在は付けっぱなしで走行しています。
