I was wondering if the 135 wingbar evo would fit on a car that Thule recommends the 127 length? I presume that the lower slot has to be sufficiently inward.
So that worked great to put them on, but we can't get them off now? Do we have to remove the lower strip to be able to move the foot? We can move the back clamp, but the feet won't move to give so it is stuck on the bars!!!
Hello, Untightening the system should work, but if you have any issues, we recommend to visit one of our dealers. They're always ready to assist where possible.
Hello. I am having a miserable time trying to attach the rear feet to my '14 Cc Crosstrek. The front worked fine. But when I tighten one foot on the rear bar, the foot on the other end raises. This did not happen on the front. I'm guessing this setup is not actually a good fit, despite the site recommending it. Thule, please advise.

The foot kit appears to grip around the rails, not in the grooves. My vehicle's front mounting point is where the rail's plastic raised portion is. How can the foot grip there, if the clamps wrap around the bar, as suggested here? These are the designated feet for my vehicle, however.

Hello C G! Thule Raised Rail Evo are compatible with Skoda Superb 2020. We recommend that you go to this link to see the recommended bar length as well: www2.thule.com/de-de/buyers-guide?c=roof+racks&q=4YsoBj4sL Have a great day!
We have only tested on the Haval H6 from 2021 and forward and that model uses integrated railing. We do not have an approved system for the earlier versions.
Does the manufacturer allow to lubricate the EVO rubber strips for better slip and rubber protection? If "Yes" please recommend a suitable lubricant. :)
The movie shows an installation of a roof rack on a car with a raised railing. The product you refer to is for cars with a flush railing and there you need a car-specific kit also. Please use the guide on thule.com to find the correct parts for your specific car.
When they installed mine in the Thule shop, they placed the front bar right at the column B of my car ( the column between front and back doors ). And the rear one was cca 700mm to the back. You also want to take care it is not too far behind if your trunk door opens up high. Otherwise the roof box can damage your rear glass.
That depends on the car and what type of fitting you have on the car. For fixpoint and clamps around the edge of the roof you can only place the roof rack in one position and it is shown in the manual you get with the roof rack. For cars with flush rail and raised rail you can in most situations place the roof rack along the whole length of the rail. As the previous reply states the ideal position of the front rack is above the B pillar and then the second bar 70cm further back.
On raised rails we do not have a car specific recommendation since the foot will fit anywhere along the rail. Our recommendation is to place the first bar above the B-pillar of the car.
Good video, appreciate it. 2 things. Th e locks are sold separately so i spent time worried they weren't there. And if you could show separating the rubber strips and installing that would be helpful
The foot pack comes with locks and if they were missing from your package something was wrong there. At around 35 seconds into the video, we show the splitting of the rubber seal.
the inner foot clamp is pulled down the lead screw by the installation tool toward the side railing to hold the foot in place. This same lead screw pulls a steel adapter towards and down lower to the foot until the cross bar is held firmly between it and the top of the foot.
Hello, sorry to hear that! Please contact us on: thuleab.force.com/hc/s/contactsupport?language=en_GB Don´t forget to specify the country you are located in and you will be contacted by an agent. Thanks!
Yes, that's true since the foot pack is for cars with a raised rail and the length of the bar is car-width specific. You can however see what parts are required for your specific car using the guide on the roof rack section on thule.com. Hot tip for any roof rack fit question.
Thank you for your interest! We recommend to take a look on our website and the price in your country and currency will show: www.thule.com (please modify the website to where you are located) You can also contact a local dealer and they will also assist with the price :)
It means, grab them and give them a bit of a shake, to see if they are fixed properly. You should be shaking the entire car and not feeling any clunk or movement on the rails. I saw the guys in Thule shop doing it when they installed mine.

Thule, pronounced 'tool', likely because that seems a perfect description of members of staff. Having had difficulty obtaining roof bars, the nonsense I received in response to a simple query just beggars belief.
@@thule You keep that much track of people, but can write such drivel? You have too much time on your hands and should spend it improving your products. First of all, you want me to believe that you test to destruction an example of every single model of every single car made, so that you can decide whether to release a set of roof bars? Then, when you tell me that the rails on the Soul (which very likely are almost identical in every respect to the Niro, that you do supply) are too weak to take bars, but that you do make such bars for Kia to supply direct! Either your position that the rails are too weak is completely bogus, or you have no business supplying them to Kia. If it is merely that the load bearing is less, simply state that on your site and on the box. To take the attitude you do is reprehensible and impossible to defend.
That split section rubber insert is a joke. Not easy to insert. The older 1 piece version slipped in and out easily. The new one is lesser quality and not rigid enough to insert easily. Tip - Use some window cleaner fluid to lubricate it. Hopeless!
It was not that hard for me once i figured out the trick... insert the middle part first so it hooks the lip of the channel of the metal rail, and then press firmly the edge part.
Thank you for you comment and also for your valuable feedback. We always want to evolve and improve so we will pass this feedback forward to the right department. Thank you again and we wish you a great day! Kind regards, Thule team
WRONG.. THIS FOOT KIT DOES NOT RETRO-FIT ANY SQUARE LOAD BAR FROM THE OLDER GUTTERMOUNT OVER-BAR CLAMP METHOD - TO A RAISED RAIL .. AS THERE IS NO UNDERNEATH LONGITUDINAL SLOT FOR THESE FEET - ON THE 2.2m "NO-SLOT" THULE BARS ..
The two strips that you cut with a scissors (both) front facing strips have blown off of my rack. I believe I installed them correctly and had to order new strips to replace it. Why would this happen and has anyone else experienced this issue?
Very clear, step-by-step directions. With minimal audible sounds to emphasize importance. Really great tutorial
So happy you found the tutorial helpful Nicholas! Thank you for your comment! Best regards, Thule
@@thule Not only that it's helpfully, but also it is not annoying. No useless loud music or special effects. Clear and clean and pleasant 👍🏻
Clear instructions! Just followed these and had the feet and bars fitted in 45-60mins, and I was going cautious/extra slow!😂😂
Good to see a tutorial that makes sense for a change, well done
Das ist mal echt schön übersichtlich gemacht. Bitte weiter so 👍
Vielen Dank! :)
Hello! The paper manual says 700mm as a minimum distance, but in this video it seems to be the only possibility; how far apart can they sit? Thanks!
Can it be used for addition lights on the top ⁉️
Are you supposed to cover the side cap clip with the noise canceling rubber ?
I was wondering if the 135 wingbar evo would fit on a car that Thule recommends the 127 length? I presume that the lower slot has to be sufficiently inward.
Perfect 😍
Very detailed instructions on how to install the railings. By the way is there a required torque settings when tightening the clamp?
Hello Michael! The torque tool will make a "clicking" sound when 4 Nm is achieved.
This video is on another level. Who made this? Can I get in touch with your 3D artist? How is this done?? :)
I wonder if I can use that rubber on my existing WingBar Edge
Really annoying that Thule pay walled the lock cores. It should have just came with the bars already…why is it extra
Hello, I have the Thule Footpack 757, is the Thule Evo Wingbar 7113 compatible with it? If not what do you recommend?
So that worked great to put them on, but we can't get them off now? Do we have to remove the lower strip to be able to move the foot? We can move the back clamp, but the feet won't move to give so it is stuck on the bars!!!

How far back from the top of the windshield should the forward unit be placed? I have not found this information anywhere. Thank you.

Good video but I didn't get those sounds when fitting. Can I get a partial refund?
There are no guidelines for how far from the front of the vehicle/roof bars to position the bars. What is that distance?
On raised rails we do not have a car specific recommendation since the foot will fit anywhere along the rail. Our recommendation is to place the first bar above the B-pillar of the car.

@@thule I think they are sold separately from what I bought here in Canada
@@scottyd3138 Yes indeed in US and CA they are not included. You instead get a plastic insert for the lock barrel placement.

What Keeps the rail from sliding left to right on the foot?
I think it's the same screw that secures the foot.
@@sztigirigi yes, the cranking with the wrench also pulls down the bracket that the bar slides onto
the inner foot clamp is pulled down the lead screw by the installation tool toward the side railing to hold the foot in place. This same lead screw pulls a steel adapter towards and down lower to the foot until the cross bar is held firmly between it and the top of the foot.
