Roof bar FAQs

Which roof bars fit my car?

Use the registration lookup or search by make, model and year. Check the roof type too, as the same car can have different roof fittings.

Can I reuse my existing Thule roof bars?

Possibly. The bar length, feet and fitting kit must all suit your car. Send us your car details and the part numbers from your existing set and we can check.

Is there a difference between black and silver roof bars?

Within the same bar range, the colour is the finish. You still need the correct bar length, feet and fitting kit for your car.

What is the difference between WingBar Evo and WingBar Edge?

WingBar Evo extends past the feet, giving more space for accessories. WingBar Edge ends at the feet for a lower-profile look. The available options depend on your car.

Do I need a fitting kit as well as roof bars and feet?

Some cars need a separate fitting kit and others do not. It depends on the roof type and foot pack. Check what is included in the set listed for your car.

Will my roof box or bike rack fit these bars?

Check the carrier's fittings against the bar shape and size. Some accessories use clamps and others use the slots in the bars. An adaptor may be needed.

Which roof bars make less wind noise?

WingBar Evo and WingBar Edge have an aerodynamic shape to help reduce wind noise. Noise also depends on your car, speed and any roof box or carriers fitted.

Can you help me choose the correct set?

Yes. Contact us with your car's make, model, year and roof type, plus what you want to carry. Include any Thule part numbers if you already have bars or accessories.

Can I leave roof bars fitted?

WingBar Evo and WingBar Edge are quieter options for regular, year-round use. Removing bars when they are not needed reduces drag and fuel use. Follow the fitting instructions, check the fixings regularly and remove the bars before an automatic car wash.
