Thule silver WingBar Edge roof bars package - 9593, 3032

£236.50
RRP: £328.00
Code: TU_3032_9593

These WingBars have carefully designed low profile fixings on their ends, allowing them to integrate really well with the car roof. The WingBar Edge is smoothly arched for a slim fit.

The wing shaped bar has been wind-tunnel tested to give superb aerodynamics and to reduce wind noise. Because of this some customers will choose to leave these bars on their car all the time.

You do lose some load carrying space because the bars don’t stick out beyond the feet. The usable loading space on these bars varies between 85 - 95 cm depending on how far apart the fixings are on your car roof. The feet take up approximately 12cm on each side of the bar; your total usable space will be approximately 24cm less than the distance between your rails or fixing points.


If you’re looking for “the Edge” from your roof bars – then look no further! After many years of development, Thule has finally released the smartest looking roof bars available for your car. They don’t just look amazing, WingBar technology makes them practically silent and ultra-economic.

Traditionally, Thule bars have always stuck out from the car as the bar passes through the foot pack. Not only did this look untidy, it meant you constantly banged your head on the metal protrusion whenever you strapped your kids into the car! Those days are gone with the Edge, as the bars finish in the foot – a perfect fit.

TrailEdge™ is WingBar’s unique, aerodynamic shape. The old oval design is gone, as are the whistles that it used to produce. This “aeroplane wing” profile dramatically reduces drag and improves fuel economy. Many customers leave WingBars on their car all year round.

WindDiffuser™ technology combines the shape of the bars with the structured rubber insert. The WingBar generates 90% less sound energy that the old Thule aluminium bar!

You don’t get as much “bar for your buck” as you do with the traditional through-bars, so this flush finish isn’t ideal for those looking to maximise their car’s carrying capacity. The Edge bars are ideal for people that just want to carry a medium sized roof box by itself (no bikes) or a couple of bike carriers.

If you’re looking to future-proof your roof bar purchase, you probably need to look elsewhere (Thule WingBar or Whispbar). The neatness of the Edge make it very unlikely that they will fit for your next vehicle – unless you go for the exact same model of car.

The components needed to attach the Thule WingBar Edge to your vehicle are shown below. You need to order the WingBar Edge and the Adapter Kit (which attaches the bars to the roof on your vehicle).

The aim of this note is to persuade you that kayaks should always be tied to the carrying vehicle at both bow and stern.

Always tie down at both bow and stern

Untied kayaks have, in our experience, the greatest potential for a roof bar or kayak carrier failure. The massive forces that untied kayaks can generate have even been known to snap roof bar fixing bolts with the result that a complete assembly of roof bars and kayaks has ended up on the road. We know that this has happened with almost every brand of roof bar, and regardless of whether the kayaks are on a special carrier or just strapped to the bars.

You need to fix bow and stern lines, probably using the front and rear screw-in towing eyes to get strong and accessible fixing points on the vehicle. Kayak shops should be able to provide suitable 'paracord' for this purpose. Alternatively, we have sets of straps available that are perfect for the job and are really easy to use. Yakima make some excellent Bow/Stern tie down straps and Thule makes the QuickDraw 838 which we have listed together with every kayak carrier we sell.

Please note that kayaks should be strapped to the roof bars, or to kayak carriers, using straps that are suitable for the purpose, e.g. 25mm polypropylene straps with strong buckles. Bungee cords must never be used.

Please also note that all roof bar instructions point out the dangers of carrying unsecured long items, as of course do all kayak carrier instructions.

If you tie down your kayaks properly you almost certainly won't experience a product failure. If you don't you may or may not get away with it. If there is a disaster and the kayaks end up on the road, separated from the vehicle, then you were not using tie downs and you have subjected the roof bars to forces for which they were not designed. The costs of sorting this out are yours, not ours, and you may also have difficulties with your insurers.

We're sorry to be so firm about this, but "things coming off the tops of cars" is the stuff of nightmares, and we want to do all we can to prevent accidents of this sort from happening.

Delivery FAQs

When will my order arrive?
There are no deliveries on Saturdays, Sundays or Bank Holidays, except for postable items where Royal Mail has a Saturday delivery. Express Delivery orders placed on a Friday (before 1pm) should be delivered on the Monday or Tuesday, Express Delivery orders placed on a Saturday or Sunday should be delivered on the Tuesday or Wednesday. The arrangements for Very Heavy Items are different and are shown above.

What about Next Working Day delivery?
We have offered a reliable Next Working Day service for well over 20 years but, due to the pressure on the couriers caused by the coronavirus crisis and the huge increase in online shopping, we can no longer be confident about the delivery date, which is why we now call the service ‘Express delivery’. Most Express delivery orders will arrive on the next or second working day, but some will arrive on the second or third working day, or be split between these days. So-called “split deliveries” happen when the couriers do not have enough trailer space for everything that should be moved around the UK, so they will load what they can and leave the rest for the next trailer.

Is my delivery day guaranteed?
No retailer or courier company can ever "guarantee" a Next Working Day delivery. As well as split deliveries, all courier companies occasionally have the same transport problems as can happen to everyone else, including snow blocked roads, closed roads, traffic jams, mechanical breakdown, an inability to find the delivery address, or to gain access to it if, for example, it's in a block of flats. We work with some of the best couriers in the business, and overall they provide an outstanding service.

Do I need to be at home?
We are very flexible with our deliveries and will aim to deliver to an address which suits you – this does not need to be your home address. Goods can usually be left without signature - we prefer this with roof boxes. There's a "Special Delivery Instructions" box in the checkout area where we'll ask you to choose a typical instruction and then amend it to suit your particular requirements.

The WingBar Edge has a particularly low profile fitting to the roof of the car. You must take care when you are fitting accessories, such as roof boxes, to this car. It's important that anything you carry on these roof bars does not interfere with existing attachments on this vehicle such as antennas/aerials.

Roof top tents should not be fitted to these bars!

Roof top tents are becoming increasingly popular, but we advise they should not be carried on the flush type of roof bars.

Roof top tents should only be carried on through bars, the type of roof bars where the cross bars stick out beyond the feet.

There are concerns for both safety and damage if flush bars are used.

Flush roof bars have a plastic-covered foot at each end of the bar. Even if the cross bar part is wide enough for the roof top tent to be fitted, the tent will certainly be wider than the bars and the weight of a person pressing down on the raised foot can damage the plastic parts. From a safety perspective, the base of the tent is unlikely to be touching the cross bars, so it will be difficult to tighten the fixings correctly, and the fixings of some tents can loosen when people are in the tent, and it flexes.

Full size platforms such as the Thule Caprock and the Yakima LockNLoad platform should also not be used on flush roof bars; they tend to be heavily loaded, and to be walked on.

This is an easy problem to solve; please choose a pair of through bars - the type of roof bars where the cross bars stick out beyond the feet.
