AeroBlade Edge Flush Mount Rack (1 Bar)

I picked these up for our new Hyundai Santa Fe as we needed roof bars for the roof box we already had. Installation was very easy, and it was very easy to get them aligned and securely attached. the first time, i did this alone and it probably took me less than 30 minutes to install. I ordered 2 areo bars, the foot kit, and locks. Yes they are expensive, but its Thule and you get the best. These bars have been on for over 6 months now and i still love them. They are very quiet, except i noticed that when its raining or snowing they tend to make more noise, probably because it ruins the aerodynamics of the bar. they look great too. I would purchase these again in a second if i needed them for another car. I will probably add a ski rack and bike rack option as well for this season.

these racks are solid, no noise when driving at cruising speeds, you can't go wrong with Thule. My Panamera has fixed points, make sure your car threads are in good condition to insure the attachment bolt goes all the way in and sits well. Also my car had to use the medium and large size crossbar. Instructions are easy to follow, I recommend you access Thule website and review the instructions for your specific installation beforehand. All tools for assembly included as well. They will haul my 2 SUP & bike with no issues. Price is high but you get a high quality product without any guesswork or concern that your load will end on the highway. Be safe!

I bought the AeroBlade Edge roof rails on my 2020 Alfa Romeo Stelvio, along with the 4085 fit kit, as indicated by Thule. One foot would not stay attached, which I found out the hard way. Fortunately I strapped a box to the rails with ratcheting straps; with a minimum of tension one footing came unseated. I tried reattaching it and it seemed to take, even with the straps taught. However, after driving a little bit at low speed, it came unseated again. I reattached it again and made it to my destination, driving very slowly, but it was coming unseated again. Had I been driving faster, or going farther, or been less lucky/vigilant, it could have caused an accident. I only had this problem with one out of four feet, but it was visually no different from any of the others, so either there's some QA flaw here or there's a design flaw. Aside from the design/quality/safety problem, it was a bit shocking how poorly designed, made, and even packaged these things were for a supposedly premium product. The feet (and the rails) came in thin, cheap cardboard boxes with even worse cardboard padding inside, from which they had come loose and were rattling around and jumbled up. The plastic end caps for the rails were poorly finished and left gaps. The rubber aero strip was just a piece of janky garbage. The attachment from the rails to the foot adapters is effectively a single bolt. Sending these back and getting the OEM rails.

Total kit is $520 cheaper purchasing it from Amazon than from Thule's web store. High quality parts and engineering quality I've come to expect from the Thule company. Once fitted, the racks are easily removable from my 2018 Subaru WRX STI Limited. Plenty of room for the moon roof to open upward.

I picked the aeroblades for my WRX because, even though they are expensive, they are the best looking bars in my opinion and as it's a permanent fixture on the car might a well go for good looking. They also seem to not make noise when driving and don't have a noticeable effect on gas milage. Having roof racks makes your car more versatile, I can throw a luggage box on there and more frequently my bike, kayaks, skis. The thule "T track" system is great, it makes it pretty quick to add/remove "official" thule carriers. (Like, proride XT) My only gripe is that you have to cut the rubber strip to install things on the T track. Then when you take the accessory off, you put the cut rubber piece back on. (I keep them in my center console) That just seems pretty janky and un-necessaey to me. Other bars from thule don't require cutting the rubber to use T track, but again they don't look as good.

I was skeptical about an open box but they were great! I did learn with Thule besides the roof racks you need the fit kit so the racks fit your specific car. I went direct to the site to find the kit I needed which was about $160 out the door. So keep that additional expense in mind as there is no other way around it in order to install the aero blade racks. For being my first time it took me 30-40 min going back and forth to the instructions as I couldn’t believe how easy it was to install them. But I also referenced a few YouTube videos that made it easier to understand than the instructions (5’3 female with a little step stool help) I love my racks and how cool my car looks now plus i got extra space for luggage and our snowboards! Don’t know why I waited so long

After studying all of the options, I decided to go with Thule due to their outstanding reputation for quality. These are quite well made, and they come in 3 widths. I was able to go to the Thule web site, enter my vehicle, and the site gives you the specific bars you need. I needed one medium for the front and a small for the rear. I am quite happy with these.

So, Thule Customer Service is awesome. Amazon warehouse is not. Warehouse sent a previously opened package with a missing rubber strip. Thule Customer service took less than two minutes to get a real live person. She was super awesome. However, because it’s through the Amazon Warehouse, the order wasn’t logged at Thule. In the future, I would recommend going directly through Thule and not Amazon.

Great product, super easy to install and does not look out of place on my 335. I was concerned with this rack scratching the paint on my roof, but when I installed this rack it was obvious that this was designed with that in mind. The only downside to this rack is that there's a bit of wind noise above 80km/h or when driving with the sunroof open, but that's to be expected with any rack.

I thought that's an easy one. But of course feet are missing. To figure out the right ones is very tricky!!! No clear instructions!!!

Ultra silencieux, de bonne qualité, Garde la belle apparence du véhicule.

Bought this as a used/tested by Amazon along with a brand new set of rails. The used/renew wasn't at all the right version of the product. This was supposed to be a medium length bar Thule part 7602B but when I opened the box and validated the size it was a small version, 7601B. The box was also missing the end cap that was an extra 30$ CAD from Thule direct but since the bar is too short I sent it back.

Easy to install once you have the proper foot fitting to connect to the roof rack. I do get whistling at any speed above 65km/h. I have the rubber installed correctly and there are no gaps or open holes. I am waiting on the box before trying that as I've read that once you have the box attached the wind noise disappears. Will update.
