Thule WingBar Evo Crossbar on Vehicle

TheThule WingBar Evo crossbars let you quickly and easily build a quiet, aerodynamic custom roof rack for your vehicle. These high-end bars look great on any vehicle, and they are perfect for those who want a quiet roof rack that can carry plenty of gear. The bars have dual rubber strips in the T-slots and pivoting endcaps that allow you to easily mount carriers and accessories. Each bar extends past the feet to maximize carrying capacity. The bars are constructed of aluminum with internal BoxBeam structures that make them extremely durable yet lightweight. The WingBars require a Thule foot pack to mount the rack to your roof. Some vehicles - such as those with a naked roof - may also require a vehicle-specific fit kit .


Aerodynamic TrailEdge Design with WindDiffuser Strips


Thule WingBar Evo WindDiffuser Design

The WingBar's tapered TrailEdge shape helps reduce wind drag by separating the airflow over and under the bars so you won't see a reduction in your vehicle's gas mileage. This also dramatically reduces wind noise and vibration - even at highway speeds - and eliminates the need to add a fairing to your roof rack.


The rubber WindDiffuser strips in the T-slots have V-shaped ridges that direct air over the tops of the bars. This reduction in wind drag also helps maintain fuel efficiency and significantly reduces wind noise.


Channel-Mounted and Clamp-On Accessories



Thule WingBar Evo SwingBlade

WingBar Evo crossbars have built-in T-slots with rubber strips that simply press into place. This makes them easier to install when compared with strips that have to be threaded into the channel from the end of the bar. The dual-strip design also makes accessories easier to install in the T-slots when compared with strips that have to be trimmed. Simply lift the SwingBlade endcaps open, slide your gear into the channel, and close the endcaps. These rubber strips also seal the gaps left by your accessories so that water and dirt don't get into the T-slots.


You can also attach most universal, clamp-on accessories and carriers to the bars.


Strong, Durable Construction

Thule WingBar Evo Crossbar Construction

The WingBar Evo crossbars are made of anodized aluminum with internal BoxBeam structures. These structures strengthen the bars without significantly increasing their weight. Additionally, because the bars are aluminum, they won't rust or corrode so you can leave them on your roof year-round.


Hassle-Free Installation

Thule WingBar Evo Crossbar Installation

Installation of the WingBar Evo crossbars is quick and easy, and you don't have to do any drilling or vehicle modification. The bars have bottom channels that accommodate your Thule feet. SmartSlide sliding scales in the bottom channels let you place the feet in the proper location using the vehicle-specific measurements provided in your fit kit manual. Simply slide each scale to the measurement indicated in the fit kit manual, then slide the foot into the channel until it rests against the scale.


For applications that don't require specific measurements provided in a fit kit manual - such as a raised rail - you can center the rack after you place it on your vehicle using a tape measure. Then slide the scales against the feet to fill in the gaps in the channel.


Insert the included rubber filler strips into each channel between the outer edges of the feet and the ends of the bars, and trim the excess. These rubber strips, coupled with the sliding scales, help to keep dirt and water out of the bottom channels and help to reduce whistling.


Thule WingBar Evo Crossbar Torque Tool

To complete installation on your roof simply tighten a single screw inside each foot using the torque tool included with the foot pack. This single attachment point enables you to secure the crossbar to the foot and the foot to your roof simultaneously.

Thule Raised Rails on Vehicle

Evo Raised Rail feet let you mount 2 Thule WingBar Evo, SquareBar, ProBar, or AeroBlade crossbars to your vehicle with factory raised rails to create a complete roof rack. The rack installs easily with the included torque tool. Rubber liners around the clamps protect the surface of your raised rails from scratches.


Secure, Clamp-On Installation

Thule Feet on Bar

Evo feet quickly and easily clamp onto your vehicle's raised rails. Just remove the lockable covers, then slide the slot track guides on the tops of the feet into the bottom channels or T-slots on the underside of your Thule crossbars. Place the rack on your vehicle with the clamps around your raised rails. Use a tape measure to make sure the bars are centered on your vehicle.


Thule Rubber Pads

Once the crossbars are centered, tighten the clamps around your rails with the included torque tool. The single attachment point bolt lets you quickly secure the crossbars to the feet and the feet to your raised rails simultaneously. An audible click indicates the rack is secured properly. Replace the lockable covers on the feet to complete installation.


One-Key System Locks

Thule One Key System Locks

Evo Raised rail feet are compatible with Thule One-Key System lock cores (sold separately) that allow you to secure the rack to your roof. The One-Key System locks are all keyed alike so a single key opens all the locks. The locks can also be swapped out to make all of your Thule products keyed alike.

Thanks to etrailer.com, I found out these crossbar systems are just bags of interchangeable parts! So glad I didn’t toss my 2019 53” crossbars when they started whistling (Screeching!) at speeds above 45 mph. I had them removed from my ProMaster City van when I couldn’t stand it any more. Luckily i did some research and took them totally apart. The old raised rail feet were pretty trashed, but was able to clean the bars up and reuse the existing end caps and locks. The video instructions on etrailer.com were invaluable, and I was able to find the exact parts I needed. My 2019 crossbar system is like new at a fraction of the price id have paid for a new system!



by: Robert 05/01/2024

I bought these and the evo rail for my Subaru and they look great. Assembly was about 20 minutes from unboxing to mounting. The fit was perfect and they match the factory Subaru trim very well.
eTrailer made selection easy and the follow up from order entry, pack, ship and delivery was excellent.
Highly recommend searching eTrailer first.



by: Owen07/24/2022

Thule IS in my opinion the Best in Rack systems. There very well made and are pretty stout for my application with a roof basket. 52” X 80” Money well spent!! Thank You etrailer for The Best Service!



by: Alex03/03/2024

Good quality. Clear instructions from the manufacturer and very good installation video from etrailer.



by: Michael05/25/2021

Thule rack looks great on my Kia Telluride. The pieces took a while to get to me because they were on backorder but it's not etrailer, they were on backorder everywhere. I messed up a piece of the rubber while installing and etrailer sent me another one free of charge. Would definitely recommend etrailer.



by: James04/23/2022

This is my first Thule product but not my last. etrailer was great to deal with the videos on how to install the product were so helpful. Between etrailer's help and all the reviews that other people had purchased and posted made this a very pleasant purchase and install. I highly recommend etrailer and the complete Thule WingBar system including the keylocks that worked perfectly. I typically don't write reviews but this one was worth doing.

This was the part I needed to add Thule kayak lift to my roof rack. System costs a fortune, but all is well made and works great.

Good quality and easy to set up on my 2016 jeep Cherokee! Happy with the new cross bar setup!



by: Steven01/29/2021

Car: 4 door Civic sedan

Bought this
as a set along with a set of locks. They did not have the locks in stock, so when I went ahead of canceled that portion of the order, they were able to process and ship it out the next day. It took roughly 1 week for it to arrive.

Following the instructions they provide you with was fairly simple, there was a QR code scan for a video that you can watch as well. I assembled this along with ski carriers that I had as well. I did struggle a little bit with the spacing I needed to fit my snowboard, but it wasn't too much of a hassle.

After assembling it, I was impressed with how it looked and also how stable and tight it was when I was trying to shake it around. As for the test drive, I was very impressed with how there was no wind whistle and they did not fall off (peaked at 70mph).

Overall, I would say it's definitely worth it to buy a good quality cross bar set. And more importantly it was worth it to purchase it from a retailer that does a good job processing and shipping your order without any issues!



by: Michael B11/08/2023

The Evo Raised Rail Feet are well made and fit my Forester properly. The installation instructions (printed & video) are easy to follow. I'm very happy with this purchase.



by: D Nainoa01/22/2021

I’ve been searching for a set of crossbars for my 2021 Crosstrek. After looking at several different companys,, I decided to go with etrailer.com and get the Thule Wingbar Evo Crossbars and Evo Raised feet. Ordering was quick and shipping was even faster! Installed them in about an hour with no issues. I love the way they look, and the construction is solid. Shout out to the staff for doing a great job and for the great communication from placing the order, confirmation, updates and shipping the order. You will not be disappointed!



by: Lynn06/17/2022

I’ve had my Thule roof rack for a year. It’s sturdy and easily handles two kayaks. Love it!



by: Daniel01/11/2023

Super fast delivery, the etrailer site provides good information that helped me select the right parts, and a great price. I rarely have a reason to purchase from etrailer, but this is my 3rd purchase and I’ve been impressed every time. They’re the first place I look now if I need a trailer hitch or rack or whatever.



by: David 11/10/2023

Fits perfect on my 2024 Outback wilderness. Nice n tight and love the key that clicks when tight.

  • Will An Older Version of the Hullavator Work with Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars?
  • I consulted with my contact at Thule, and he informed me that the fit of the Thule WingBar Evo # TH711400 and the older Hullavator 897XT has not been confirmed to fit due to the style of the new bars. However, my contact did say that the Thule Aeroblame Shim # 85233900001 and the Screw MC6S M6X37 # 1500056000 is the closest bet to ensure that they fit together. These parts are only available on the thule.com website. However, we do have the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift

  • Recommended Roof Rack For 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee w/ Flush Rails For Rooftop Tent
  • Okay, so there is definitely a roof rack that will work for your 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee for a rooftop tent, but not a 180 lb tent as there isn't a roof rack with that capacity. So I went ahead and spoke with Roofnest about it, and they essentially said that most people just go ahead and use the tent anyway. That said, for safety, I absolutely recommend going with a different rooftop tent, one that falls within the 165 lb capacity of a roof rack. That can be either of the other Roofnest

Also make sure the crossbars are separated by a minimum of 24 inches. You will want to check to make sure the rubber stripping is snug (no gaps) in the T-slot and that the endcaps are snug. On the underside of the bar make sure you use rubber stripping to fill in any exposed gaps and that that stripping

The crossbar width is based on the compatible kits for racks without the side rails. If you want a clamp on system, the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG216 has 58 inch crossbars
