Thule are the worlds leading roof rack manufacturers. As well as their high quality products, having roof rack solutions for almost all car makes and models is part of the main reason for their unchallenged success in the roof rack industry.
All Thule Roof Racks and Thule Products are TÜV crash tested & approved. On top of this, Thule have also developed the Thule Test Program™. No Thule product or Thule Roof Rack will ever make it to the shop shelf without their 25 point standards test, which far exceeds that of the ISO standard.
Thule offer a range of 5 different types of roof bar, each with their own unique elements to suit different applications. As well as the range of Thule Roof Bars available, Thule also utilise a number of different ways to attach the Thule Roof Rack to your vehicle. A list of common fixings and roof bar styles are shown below;
Fix Points
Situated directly on top of your roof, commonly underneath a protective flap, the Thule Roof Rack will simply bolt or clip to your fix points on your roof.
Roof Rails
These rails run parallel from front to back on your vehicle, raised from the roof. In most cases, you will able to wrap your hand around your rail. The Thule Roof Bars will clamp to your raised roof rails, using their easy twist & lock handles.
Flush Roof Rails
Flush fitted roof rails, again run parallel from front to back on your vehicle, only this time; these will be fitted to the surface of the roof entirely – With no gaps for you to wrap your hand around the rail. Thule use a similar fixing, this time with an easy bolt, clamp & lock system.
If your vehicle does not show any obvious signs of the above fixings, Thule will have produced a fitting that will simply clamp to the body of your vehicle. This tends to be either under the door shut of your vehicle, or within the ridge/gutter of your side windows.
