Can I reuse my Thule roof bars if I get a new car?

You may need to change the foot pack, fit kit or actual roof bar size (length) to ensure a suitable fit on your new car. Check our Thule fitting guide to see if your new vehicle will be compatible with your current setup.

• T-track intergration: easier accessory mounting
• Reduced wind resistance: less noise, better fuel efficiency
• Slick Design: Even better than before!
• Original Wingbar: great functionality and durability
• Wingbar Evo: Quieter, smoother and more user friendly
Can I install a Thule roof rack myself?
Yes, Thule roof racks are designed for self-installation. Not only that, they're designed to be installed with ease. Each thule roof rack component (bars, foot packs, fit kits and accessories) come with detailed instructions, and there are plenty of video tutorials online to guide you through the process. However, if you're not confident in fitting the roof rack yourself, please get in touch for advice and guidance.
Are Thule roof bars compatible with non-Thule accessories?
While Thule roof bars are designed to work best with Thule accessories, some third-party brands may also be compatible. However, it's important to check dimensions, mounting options, and weight limits before attaching any non-Thule gear. Using non-compatible accessories could lead to stability safety and warranty issues, so always check with the manufacturer first.
How do I prevent wind noise with my Thule roof bars?

• Ensure the roof bars are installed correctly and tightly secured.
• Opt for the most aerodynamic roof bars designs like the Thule WingBar.
• Don't overload your roof bars.
• Remove the bars for signs of damage and ware before loading.
