Quick guide to Thule roof-racks: Bars, foot packs & fitting kits

Not familiar with Thule’s roof rack system? Here’s a simple rundown of the 3 components 

Roof Bars 

Available in silver (aluminium) or black, the bars themselves come in a variety of styles and sizes to suit your car & requirements. Whichever you choose they are designed to be a base for various Thule items to be attached to. For more info on the types of roof bars available check out our handy guide

Foot Packs 

Foot packs attach to your car and the bars, locking them into place using Thule’s one-key system. Depending on the style of your roof they will either be fixed point, flush rail, raised rail or clamp.  

 

Fitting Kits  

Fitting Kits ensure the foot pack fits to your vehicle. They can cause confusion as there’s a multitude available, and they are very specific to ensure the roof rack is secured perfectly in place. But not every vehicle needs one!

 

Still Unsure? 

All you need to do is pop into our store or give us a call with your vehicle details and we will advise on which bar, foot pack & fitting kit are suitable for you.  

We have many of the parts already in stock and will happily order anything else in if required. Once you have your kit, we will attach it all on and show you how it works. As a bonus, if you have any other Thule items, we will key match leaving you with only 1 key number for everything.
