Thule Unisex Roof Racks, Silver, 108 cm, Aluminum

Firstly, let me say these roof bars do not look out of place at all on the car, they look sleek and as my car is silver they matched very well. I had no issues with getting the bars on the foot packs, they just slide in to place, use the plastic sliding guides (with measurements on to get them centered perfectly and clamp tight.The main thing for me as a first time roof box user was ensuring my roof box was secure and using the T Track adapter kit this was achieved. My roof box (bit of an older type) had clamps included but because the wing bars are so wide, the clamps did not fit even though the clamps were quite large so I had to use the adapter kit. This cost me a bit more but is well worth the extra, it allowed the roof box just to slide on and off easily yet held the box very securely. My first journey was a 600 mile round trip and the entire Thule set up stayed perfectly secure.Another plus was that all the bugs collected by the bars were also very easy to wipe off.

There's not much to write about roof bars. They are, at the end of the day, metal bars. These, however, are a cut above.Once you've done the hours of research into the various different packs you need (we're using them on a 2009-2016 Peugeot 3008), the Thule system is really excellent. There is a bit of pondering over the instructions, but once you work it out it all does literally click into place.The aerodynamic shape really does keep noise down. The T Track system makes fitting accessories a breeze.After carrying two bikes around the Highlands of Scotland I can say they performed amazingly. Pricey, but we feel like they have given us great value.

What a fantastic bit of kit this is.We go abroad a lot showing dogs and needed space in our transporter for cages for the dogs. I Fitted V.W. cool looking roof bars and then used these together with the Thule Rapid System foot pack. This created a perfect support for a massive roof box for storage of most of our other gear. (Jupiler Beer and Proper decent French wine on the way back - Not in the roof box, but everything else was moved up there)The most important thing is the quality of the products. Well made and with the lockable foot pack security is improved 100%.I am now In the process of looking at using the extendable bar system as we camp a lot and need that extra space inside but with increasing the outside area as well for the windbreakers etc.

Great bars. Fit easily look nice especially in black. I don’t think they will scratch easily. But mind out for Hermes. Or any delivery. 2 of the ends were slightly bent obviously been knocked about a bit either in warehouse or in delivery. This was not obvious on delivery until I took them out and tried to fit the end caps. Very nearly contacted amazon to complain. I managed with a hammer to hit the end bits in. This could cause issues later if I need them out but at the time didn’t have time to send back as needed to use them.

I bought these roof bars for my 2015 MB E-class estate. Really easy to fit, they're solid and secure the only small issue I have is that my car has the panoramic roof option and the brackets to suit these bars don't allow me to open the roof the whole way it can part of the way but not the whole way which isn't a deal breaker for me as I don't use it often anyway. But just be aware and check if your car has a panoramic roof.

Get what u pay for with Thule.. although the premium for black seems like a bit much, it looks great and no scratches so far.Overall very easy to install and the aero is much quieter than previous square racks.T track is a great system.

As some of the review says: it has a little bump on the edge making the bar-end cap hard to fit and mine has indeed, but there is nothing a little metal file can do. Considering that this is priced double in the US, I took a dive in spite of those "bad" reviews and a little fix, at the end of the day, its money well spent.

Yes, yes, yes. Thule products are expensive, over priced even. However, if your planning on putting potentially thousands of pounds of bikes or a roof box on your car roof, don't you want to be certain it'll still be there when you arrive? This kit really it top quality and fully customised to fit on your car with a combination of mounts and foot packs. Can't fault it and to top it off, these bars really do look the business!
