Fit perfect on our 2019 chevy bolt. I will say though make sure to also buy a 4 pack of the locks for these as it's not included and that is pretty much the best way to secure your investment!

Every time I lament about how much my Thule roof rack cost, I remind myself that I won't have to worry about my kayak flying off my roof on the highway and hitting a family sedan behind me (like I would if I bought a cheap, crappy roof rack).For automotive accessories, quality costs money. There's a slight amount of extra road noise for the Aeroblade system, but it's very minimal.The system is rock solid and VERY easy to set up.I recommend buying the locks and an extra set of tension wrenches (only comes with two tension wrench tools, buy an extra pair so every post has one so you don't need to keep pulling out the wrench from side to side, or you know, Thule could throw in the extra pair, they can afford it).

Very easy to assemble, strong once mounted, easy to remove. I have two of these for two sets of Aeroblades from Thule. You HAVE to buy the kit that is vehicle specific, in this case it was for a 2010 Scion xB. The instructions aren't very clear, however you have to pay attention to the feet in the kit to make sure you are mounting the correct feet to either the front or rear. I have mounted the Thule cargo basket to this, loaded with about 170 lbs. worth of stuff, rock solid at high speeds. Also mounted with the snowboard carrier, and the Hull-a-port with two kayaks on top. Solid! Pricey, but you get what you pay for!

This review is for 3 parts, the 47"Aeroblade, the 480R foot packs, and the Kit1064 fit kit.I have an old Yakima Rack that I used for snowboarding. It spent a couple years in attics, and to keep from loosing the foot pads, I had duct taped them to the Q towers. I don't foresee the need for tape with Thule's system. The design and construction of each of the above mentioned pieces is every bit as good as it looks in the pictures. I was very impressed. I don't think there were instructions included with the blades, or with the 1064 Fit kit, but they were included with the 480R traverse foot packs. For the most painless installation instructions, go to Thule's site, click on fit guide, and input your vehicle data, select your rack, then download the PDF installation instructions. There are 3 dimensions you'll need to install these rack;1. the distance between your foot packs on the blades2. the distance between your front foot pack and windshield3. the distance between the front and rear bladesOnce you have those 3 numbers (that are vehicle make and model specific) search youtube for "How to Install Thule 480 Traverse Roof Rack Presented by Rack Outfitters". This 5min professionally made video has no talking. It just shows a guy installing the rack with some text where needed. Rack Outfitters really made this install idiot proof with this video.As highly as I think of the Thule system, I am returning mine. It does not allow me to drive out of my garage with my kayak on the rack on my Tacoma. I don't think this rack sits too tall, and I don't consider my kayak excessively tall (its a WS Tarpon120). I don't think my Tacoma with 31" tires is too tall. I fault the architecture of my home. What was sold to us as a "2 car attached garage" could be more accurately described as a 1.5 car garage. Or 1 car with room to walk around it. I'd really like to have a talk with whoever in modern home building decided to designate 7' as an adequate height for a garage door. Of the 4 trucks I've owned while living in this house, only 2 have fit in my garage. For me to be able to drive out of my garage, with the kayak on the roof, it has to sit flush (or very nearly) with the top of the cab. It looks like the only kit that will allow this out of the box is the Thule Xporter 500. At $584 on amazon compared to the $372 I paid for this setup, it's a quite a price increase, but based on my opinion of this system, I'm sure it will be equally engineered. That extra $200 will save me 5-10mins each time I need to load my kayak. If ease of loading the kayak on the truck gets me on the water more, then over time, it will be worth it.

The Thule foot park was bought with the intention to put on my car. They make many different attachments to make sure its a correct fit. Just check Thules website to make sure you are getting the correct fit for your vehicle. I've used the Thule roof rack for about a year now. I strap kayaks to it. It has held them very well. I would recommend getting the square bars instead of the aero bar if you are going to use some of the attachments. There are less attachments for the aero bars. I did have a problem with measuring out the correct location for placement. I ended up "eyeing" it. After the initial use, check the attachment to make sure they haven't moved. Also, I recommend getting the key locks which are very easy to put in.

Outstanding product line. I was really very impressed with the Thule roof system, all aspects. After visiting the fit guide I knew exactly what I needed with MSRP included per part. All the bits I needed where easy enough to find; had the whole thing ordered in a matter of minutes saving about $30 off sticker , free shipping with prime PLUS since its amazon the sales tax was, shall we say absent. All in all I made out like a bandit on the purchase.As far as installation(06 VW GTI) the instructions are a little daunting without the pieces out in front of you, but, once you visualize the installation as illustrated it's actually quite simple. By the time you've done one cross bar, you're a pro; super intuitive. Also I want to point out that you get some thoughtful extras that are left out of the product description, like very hefty clear poly-somthing sheets to actually adhere to the car preventing clear coat damage, as well as supplemental weather stripping for your door wells to help seal out the elements. Quality hardware and materials, they give you your money's worth.Just a heads up though, the front load bar disrupts airflow over the roof line at speeds above about 40mph generating a low howling noise. You should count on buying a faring, It totally eliminates this problem plus it's so darn nice to look at.All things considered this is a fine product- solid, intuitive, beautiful and practical; really the perfect hat for your auto. If it would be beneficial for you to carry stuff on your roof, you'll be happy with this product family.
