FAQs

How do I know if this fitting kit is right for my car?

You must use the official Thule Buyer's Guide, available on the Thule website or from authorized dealers. Enter your vehicle's specific details (make, model, year) to find the exact fitting kit number required.

Can I use this kit if my car has factory-fitted roof rails?

No, this kit is designed for vehicles *without* existing fixing points or factory-fitted bars. You will need a different type of fitting kit or foot pack designed for vehicles with factory rails.

What is the difference between this kit and a full roof rack system?

This is a 'fitting kit' which is one component of a full roof rack system. It specifically adapts the roof rack's foot packs to your vehicle. You will also need Thule Evo Clamp or Edge Clamp foot packs and load bars to complete the system.

How many fitting kits do I need to buy?

This product is sold as a package of four, which is the standard quantity needed to equip a typical vehicle with a four-point roof rack system.

What is the typical lifespan of this fitting kit?

With proper care and maintenance, and by avoiding damage, these kits are designed for long-term use. Periodic inspection for wear and tear is recommended.

Are there different colors available for this fitting kit?

This specific product listing is for the black version. Other colors might be available depending on the Thule product range and specific kit number.

Troubleshooting

Roof rack feels loose or unstable

Re-check the vehicle compatibility using the Thule Buyer's Guide and ensure all clamps are tightened to the specified torque. Verify the fitting kit is the correct one for your vehicle.

Wind noise from the roof rack

Ensure all components are correctly assembled and tightened. Check if any accessory add-ons might be contributing to the noise. Sometimes, specific aero-shaped bars can help reduce noise.

Difficulty installing the fitting kit

Refer to the specific installation manual for your vehicle and the fitting kit. Ensure you are using the correct tools and following the step-by-step instructions precisely. Seek assistance if unsure.

Visible wear or damage on the kit components
