Thule Wingbar Evo 135 (53”), Black

Easy to install and for like a glove

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

I love these bars, great quality and sturdy!

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.

Installed these Thule Evo Wingbars 135 - 53 inches on my 2013 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. I needed to upgrade my roof rack to accommodate the Thule Hullavator Pro. With this upgrade I had to buy the Thule Crossbar System. I used the Fit My Car feature on the Thule website. Thule has these for the same price but I saved on shipping with Amazon Prime. Very happy with the quality and look of it. I bought the black Evo Wingbars and they look great on my Highlander. I also bought the Thule Lock system. Very satisfied!

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

These do not fit the 2024 CrossTrek. They fit on the front but are too narrow to fit onto the back portion of the roof rack. This means that the two Wingbars must be mounted far forward on the vehicle leaving the skis sticking way out into the front. I have them mounted and have used them for a week and I absolutely would not buy them again. I will likely use this through this season, then sell them on Facebook Marketplace and replace them with something that actually works for this vehicle. Per the website, these are the recommended crossbars for a CrossTrek but after hours of trying to fit them (and I have used these types of crossbars on 5 or 6 vehicles), they flat out don't work. The most disappointing experience I've ever had with Thule. These bars will work great for other types of vehicles, but not this one.

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

Overall very happy with the purchase

ルーフボックスに合わせて同じメーカーのTHULEを購入。 普通のバーより風切音がとても少ない。※風切音がしないわけではない。

Much better than the slidebars which are very noisy, look cool too

Great quality, nice features

Ive been using this for over 3 years and have not failed any of my loads - kayak, oversized bag, ladder. I store it every winter and don't have any rust or bending to be seen Would recommend it to anyone looking
