Wingbar Evo 118 (47”), Aluminum

These are fine cross bars. Note: There are a pair of bars in each package.

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.

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

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.

Update. After reading that the top strip has a tendency to fly off, I ensured mine were installed properly and securely. In Texas the speed limit is 80mph. My strip blew halfway off, but I heard it flapping and stopped. I resecured the strip and each day ensured it was seated properly. Today at 65 mph it blew off. I cannot find a replacement. At $40 for the strip, VERY POOR DESIGN!! Thule make a great product. Bars are silent on a 2024 Crosstrek Wilderness. Cons: assembly is HORRIBLE. Thule need to preassemble the top strips. Include a paper manual. 4 stars for being too much like the devil Satan Ikea.

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.

Thule quality. Low wind noise. Shaped like an aircraft wing.

Ordered from Amazon UK and paid less than ordering in the US or via the Thule website, even after shipping. So I was very happy with that. Neither the printed instructions nor the instructional video have any words so you have to do with pics. This was only a minor obstacle though. Installation was fairly straightforward with the only additional tool required being a pair of scissors. For some reason you have to cut the rubber strips provided which is a bit weird. I installed this on my 2019 Volvo XC 90 in about 30 mins. Despite the aerodynamic look, these bars are not quiet. If you drive at a moderate pace (over 30 mph) with the windows down or sunroof open you will absolutely hear the difference! However they do work! I added a Yamaka Kayak rack and was able to properly load/unload and transport a kayak on top with no issues. So I'm pretty happy with the product overall.

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。
