Thule Roof Rack Gutter Mount Foot Pack (Low) Review

Thule Roof Rack Gutter Mount Foot Pack (Low)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have owned this base support rack system for a long time and loved it's versatility and simplicity. Available with locks at each foot that work with a single key, you have the satisfaction of knowing your roof rack is secure.
The Thule 300 system works with cars equipped with rain gutters and is one of the most universal roof rack systems available. The load bars are also available in different lengths to accommodate the width of your particular vehicle's roof.
Thule manufactures a large number of carriers that can be attached to the LB50 load bars including bike trays, ski racks, boat carriers etc.
If your car has rain gutters, and you are looking for a good, sturdy, versatile base support system, look no further. Thule 300 is the best!

Surco S4550 Safari Rack 45'X50' Review

Great product, very light, but very well built, strong.. The rack and mounts are great products and work well. Expect your gas mileage to be significantly reduced when this rack is mounted and loaded with "stuff". Should be removed when not in use. Did not notice any extra wind noise. While the rack and mounts are easy to assemble and mount for anyone used to doing this sort of thing I would say for the inexperienced installer the
instructions need to be completely redone they are incomplete and confusing, which is the only reason I did not give a perfect score.

They work will for me. I would have like them not to have used a special tool for moving them, but that is minor. They clamp well and once you get the bars tight they don't move.

Thule 450R CrossRoad Railing Roof Rack Foot Pack (Set of 4) Review

Thule 450R CrossRoad Railing Roof Rack Foot Pack (Set of 4)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I own a 2002 Volvo V70 XC with factory mounted roof rails. These feet fit the rack perfectly. My friend owns a Mitsubishi SUV with a completely different style of factory mounted roof rails, and this product fits his car too!
I mounted the feet with no trouble and no extra tools. The Thule lock cylinders (you have to order them separately) are no problem to install. There are only two things- you have to make sure that you by the Aero load bars (these feet don't work with anything else) and you have to make sure that you buy the correct length load bars as well because of how they are constructed. I have the 53 inch load bars and they work perfectly. I suggest using the rack fitting guide on rackattack.com to figure out what size works for your car.
The solid construction and universal adaptability of this product mean that I will keep it even if I have to get rid of my car. These feet fit any shape rail securely.
I would recommend this product to anyone.

We've been using Thule products on our cars for about 10 years. I like the "square" form factor. Gives a really good + strong fit. This is my first set of 450s and I'm surprising pleased. Like all Thules these are well built and beautifully designed. I had some trepidation about the plastic strap on the bottom [I'm a big fan of the 415s] but these fit securely and are working out nicely. Customer service at Thule is incredible; another great reason for buying their products.

The Thule 450 Crossroad Railing-mounted Foot Pack for Car Roof Racks is designed for vehicles with factory rack side rails, and fits more vehicles than any other railing carrier. The Crossroad uses a foot style that complements all vehicles, and is easy to install with just the turn of a handle, no tools required.
The 450 Crossroad feet give you maximum strength and a custom fit via rubber-coated steel straps, and provide for full rail protection with integrated rubber linings. The feet are constructed of galvanized, stamped steel and nylon, and have a black polyester-powder coating that provides vibration damping and protects against slippage. This pack comes with all the necessary zinc-iron plated steel mounting hardware.
The 450 Crossroad Railing-mounted foot pack is compatible with slide-in load bars, weighs six pounds, and can be locked via Thule's One Key System lock cylinders (not included). User's should note that each foot uses five inches of bar space, and requires Thule Load Bars and locks to complete this roof-rack system.
What's in the Box? 4 x 450 Crossroad railing-mount feet, 2 x hardware bags, 4 x handle assemblies, 4 x end caps, and instruction guide

Thule Rapid Aero Aluminum Load Bar Pair Package Review

Thule Rapid Aero Aluminum Load Bar Pair Package
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
pros:
1. Nice looking sleek design.
2. Increased capacity (165lbs) combined with 450R compared with 75lbs with my factory cross bars.
3. Provide wider load space than my factory bars.
4. These has T slots on top going all the way to each side so you can slide your roof rack carriers in and out much easier without totally unscrew the screws; you can't do that with the round or squared load bars.
cons:
1. Easily scrached, everything you put on needs protection (plastic spacers).
2. There is just no good ways to use the rubber strips that are supposed to cover the T slots. If you are likely to rearrange your carriers on the rack it is probably easier just not use these at all.
3. You can't cut these shorter to fit a smaller car, the cross section is not the same all the way through, there are slots at the ends for adapting to the end caps and the foots. I think there are just a few lengths there to choose from.

The Thule Rapid Aero Bar is a slotted aluminum load bar designed to work with a Thule Rapid tower. Thule designed the Rapid Aero system so that the towers and all the components slide into the load bar for a sleek, seamless look. The Rapid Aero Load Bar will still work with all your Thule accessories, but you may need an Xadapt kit for some of them.Product Features

Thule 43050 Tracker II Complete Roof Rack System with Load Bars (50-Inch Bars) Review

Average Reviews:

We received this product and it had some plastic pieces that were broken plus the load bars had scratches on them. It was obvious that someone had used it before. With that said we kept it because frankly its a roof rack and we didn't need it to be pretty. The functionality is great. Being able to remove the load bars with a push of two buttons is extremely useful. We were also happy that we could get a cargo box PLUS our tandem bike rack on this rack at the same time. You of course need to get the right cargo box to make that work. Would have gave it 5 stars if the product actually came new like advertised.

Thule LB50 Roof Rack Load Bars (50-Inch, Set of 2) Review

Average Reviews:

This is a pretty straightforward purchase: two Thule-brand bars of dimension 1.25" x 0.75" -- exactly what I needed to replace my old (ancient!) Terzo-brand bars that finally rusted out and gave way. Only 3 stars are awarded as I found the picture misleading: the end caps are NOT included, I'll have to buy these separately now. Had I known (or read the written description which omits mention of the caps) I would have sprung the extra $5 to get the caps included in my free shipping.

About Thule To say that Thule’s beginnings in the U.S. were humble would be an understatement. Founding member Ake Skeppner sold products at windsurf competitions on the New England shoreline, exhibited the product line at a number of different trade shows, and even canvassed local retailers in the greater New York area, all from his "office"--a now-famous station wagon. Initial success was found in the small but growing sport of windsurfing where a strong, reliable roof rack was an indispensable piece of equipment. This was quickly followed by success in the ski business where Thule's Swedish heritage certainly helped the product gain rapid acceptance.
By the mid-1980s, the company sold products directly to ski and windsurfing shops but sold through distributors to address the large and growing bike business. A risky decision was made to terminate these distributor relationships and sell direct to retailers through a network of independent sales representatives. Much of the company's market success today can be traced to that decision. Shortly after, Ake hired an engineer and set up a small assembly plant in Elmsford, New York in order to design and manufacture bike carriers that would offer the features demanded by the U.S. consumer and compete effectively with other racks on the market.
The company has since grown rapidly through product innovation, a commitment to quality, and the continuance of a strong entrepreneurial spirit as well as continuing to evolve their products to meet the needs of users.

This product is straight forward easy to install as advertised. My roof rails are foolishly body colored rather than something more wear forgiving. The soft rubber mounts allow for tight installation and full removal with no marks left or paint abrasion.
The weight gives you confidence that it'll take the load. This sucker is solid.
If I had one gripe it would be that the gear for tightening/loosening requires too many turns.
If I needed a second set, I would not hesitate to buy another set.
