The Thule Edge is a good looking, smart system, but the downside for many of our customers is that these bars may not be long enough to carry what you want, so some careful planning should be done before purchase. They'll probably be OK if you just want to carry a roof box, or up to 3 bike carriers, but they're likely to be too short for a box and a bike carrier, or for 4 bike carriers. This is because they are flush bars, sometimes called closed end bars, or OEM-style bars; only the bar length between the feet can be used for load carrying. If you need longer bars, to carry more, then please have a look at the Thule Evo WingBars which stick out beyond the roof bar feet, and the whole length of the bar can be used for load carrying. The usable roof bar length will depend on the width between the flush rails for specific vehicles. We will provide information about precise measurements for specific vehicles as and when we get information from our own tests and from our customers. We realise that careful planning may be difficult without this detailed information. This is a modular system, consisting of
All these items have been pre-ticked in the list below. Foot Pack: The Edge 7205 Foot Pack may only be used on vehicles which use Thule's 5000 series 'clamp-on' adapter kits. It has a maximum load limit of 75kg, so this is the load limit for the whole system. Some vehicles have a lower roof-loading limit than this, so it's always important to check your vehicle handbook, and to think about the weight of the roof bars - approximately 5.5kg for this whole 2 bar system - the weight of what you fix to them (e.g. bike carriers or a roof box) and the weight of what you are carrying. Edge WingBars: These Edge WingBars may only be used with Thule Edge Foot Packs. They are 80mm wide by 32mm high, including the rubber strip which fits into the T-track channel that runs along the top of each bar. They're designed to reduce wind noise and drag, thanks to 'WindDiffuser' ridges in the rubber strip that's fitted to the front of the T-tracks, and the 'TrailEdge' shape of each bar's trailing edge. Adapter Kit: The Adapter Kit contains the essential components required to fix the roof bars to the vehicle. It may well be specific to this vehicle; you can see how it fits by looking at the Fitting instructions tab. Note that the picture just shows a typical flush rails Adapter Kit, to give you an idea of what to expect. Locks: One Key System locks are included. We have a free lock matching scheme for all your Thule gear which, as a customer, you may continue to use any time you want. This means that you can use the same key for most of your Thule products. In practice, only having one key for all roof mounted bike carriers is the most useful part of a 'one key system', a system which is offered by all the major brands we sell. |
The aim of this note is to persuade you that kayaks should always be tied to the carrying vehicle 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. |

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. |
