ThuleRoof Rack System Fit Kits

I installed racks for an outdoor store for several years, both Yakima and Thule. The fix-points found in some car models make this process much easier, and Thule's Fit Kits allow their different rack feet (460, 460R, etc) to mount to those fix-point systems.Thule's website specified the 3080 Fit Kit for our 2010 Mazda5, so I ordered it here even though I knew the stock photo Amazon was using could not be correct as the bracket shown would never fit the Mazda5. I was right, as the 3080 Fit Kit I received looked different from the photo but fit the car perfectly.Installation literally took 15 minutes from the time I opened the boxes.To Install:-Slide the 460 Podium Feet onto the bars-Attach the Thule Fit Kit brackets to their bases (they just click in)-Attach the Thule Fit Kit brackets to the Podium Feet with the supplied screws, but do not tighten-Screw the supplied Fix Point screws into your vehicles Fix Points (follow Thule's directions)-Set the Podium Feet over the Fix Point screws-Adjust the crossbars so they stick out evenly on both sides, then fully tighten the Fit Kit screws to the Podium Feet-Put the supplied hardware (lock washer and nut in my case) onto the Fix Point screw, and fully tighten-Place the locks into the Podium Feet covers and lock them onto the Podium Feet, pop the end caps onto the barsThis system eliminates a TON of measuring and making the minute adjustments that racks such as Yakima's Q-towers require. Of course your vehicle needs the Fix Point attachments to make use of this system, but it's a very solid system and makes rack installation very easy.

It looks amazing on the vehicle, the edges of the bars line up perfectly with the edges of the roof.Anyway, the reason I am writing this review is last night there were a huge batch of storms to run across the Midwest. 60 mph winds up to 80 straight line winds. Trees knocked down, semis rolled over in the road (2). Absolutely crazy. And I was at highway speeds going south and the winds were directly out of the west my bike was so securely to the roof that when the winds picked up to shift the bike it pulled the wheel instead. When I got the bike down still in the storm all the bolts were tight, rack wasn't moved an inch, and the bike mount fit amazing. Couldn't be happier with any of the products and they made me a customer for life.

I was able to modify these for use with Thule 460R feet and EVO Wing Bars on my 2023 EUV. They bolt directly to the factory roof rails, but I had to bend them so the tab that rises above the rail was vertical instead of angled in or out. I did this by placing them in my vice and using a pair of adjustable wrenches to do the bending. The 460R caps don’t fit perfectly into the rubber spacer, they can be modified by removing some material to fit better but I was able to muscle them Into place and close them.Also fits 2019 Chevrolet Bolt, no modifications needed.

Just what I needed and the price was the best I could find.

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.

They fit great and are vehicle specific. Thule products are top of the line so it’s expected to pay a bit more but the fit kits are ridiculously overpriced. Especially after paying over $500 for the other components. They do fit well and perform as expected. Super easy to install. All four took about a minute. They just snap into place. I love the racks. They are very strong and extremely well made. Just crazy expensive.

Material resistente

I hate the fact that Thule parts are so expensive when you change cars. But it is still a great rack system. Item arrived well packaged and as promised. Thanks.

Le produit n'est pas du tout comme sur la photo. Il s'agit d'un kit complet Thule 183177 avec les braquettes d'acier, les adapteurs de caoutchouc, les caches ouvertures et les vis d'attaches. Bon produit.

Les produits Thule sont bien pensés, on ne peut pas trop serrer en l'installant grâce à son système de serrage émettant un bruit lorsqu'on atteint la limite de serrage. Mais Thule est vraiment trop cher et surévalué selon moi. Ça prendrait un vrai concurrent qui casserait les prix.

Just what you need for EVO bars

Needed after market pieces to install my new roof rack (no thanks to Hyundai). Was sent to a different parts store that had 2 of 3 parts necessary. This came early, and worked wonderfully with the system the shop had. Thanks a lot!

Que es muy resistente y esta muy bien elaborado perfecto
