Thule Load Bars
When to use Thule Load Bars:
Thule Load Bars should be used anytime you want to attach a Thule roof carrier, car top bike rack, water rack or snow rack to you vehicle's roof. Thule's standard roof rack loadbars are known for their classic square design; Thule's premium load bars -- the Thule Rapid Aero Load Bars -- have a rounder design.
How to use Thule Load Bars:
Thule load bars come in a set of two and will be attached to your vehicle in a way that best supports the total weight of your roof carrier, roof basket or roof rack. Thule load bars will run across the top of your vehicle, securing into your Thule foot pack base rack on the left and right side of your vehicle. You will then mount your Thule carrier or Thule rack to the center of your Thule Load Bars.
How to ensure a Proper Fit:
Thule's standard load bars come in four lengths; Thule's premium load bars come in three lengths. In most bases, both the standard load bars and the rapid aero load bars will work with your vehicle. However, the proper length for your vehicle is generally determined by the width of your vehicle's roof.
