Thule Wingbar Evo 118 (47”) , Black

I have a 2017 Kia Niro. I wanted to mount these bars so that I could carry the Thule Motion XT (Size Large) Cargo Box on my vehicle. To get these bars installed, I purchased the following:- Thule Fit Kit 186076 (for flush railings)- Thule Foot Pack 710601 (for Evo roof rack system to be mounted on flush railings)- Thule 47" WingBar Evo Load Bars 711220 (this page product)I also bought the Thule one-key system so that I could use one key for all the Thule items I bought (4x locks for the roof rack system and 2x locks for the cargo box). The installation directions take some time to figure out, but overall they aren't too bad. It took more time for me to research what roof rack system I needed for my vehicle, than it did for me to actually install it all.I love this roof rack system! It's well built, aerodynamic, doesn't affect the gas mileage, and it doesn't make any noise. I also really like that I have the option to take this roof rack system off my vehicle if I wanted to. Thule makes great products, but you definitely pay for it. The high price tag is the only downside, but when it comes to a roof rack system, I'd rather go for quality and be safe rather than be sorry.

You have to hold these in your hand to really appreciate them. I got everything I needed in the box. The black bars looks great on my black car.

I purchased all my parts separately and saved over 100 dollars. These 47” bars work perfectly on my Cadillac ATS along with the Thule 480r and the 1786 fit kit. So if you have a Cadillac ATS you will need all 3 pieces along with locks if you want to lock them which I did. Btw There’s hardly any wind noise.

These bars are amazing, and incredibly quiet! I haven’t noticed any whistling at all. Fantastic purchase

Just as described, sturdy, easy to install, should hold up well since it's a THULE.

Update. After reading that the top strip has a tendency to fly off, I ensured mine were installed properly and securely. In Texas the speed limit is 80mph. My strip blew halfway off, but I heard it flapping and stopped.I resecured the strip and each day ensured it was seated properly. Today at 65 mph it blew off. I cannot find a replacement. At $40 for the strip, VERY POOR DESIGN!!Thule make a great product. Bars are silent on a 2024 Crosstrek Wilderness.Cons: assembly is HORRIBLE. Thule need to preassemble the top strips. Include a paper manual. 4 stars for being too much like the devil Satan Ikea.

Installed these on my 2018 Subaru WRX STi. Fitment was perfect and this is a quality, well made product that I have no doubt will stand the test of time and work very well for hauling our two Kayaks. Instructions are not great but take your time, look up videos on youtube and you should be fine. Here is a full list of products required to order for this car:-Thule Wingbar Evo 118 (47”)-Thule 3131 Podium Fit Kit for 460-Thule 460R Rapid Podium Foot Pack (Set of 4)**The only reason I gave it 4/5 stars is becuase I was a bit surprised at the level of wind noise considering the claims of the aerodynamics. Its the level of noise I expected I would have gotten if i had purchased the less expensive square bars.

Looks great on my SUV
