When the great outdoors starts calling your name, the Thule Base Rack System makes it easy to answer.

For maximum strength and durability, your Thule Roof Rack System's crossbars and feet are built from galvanized steel. And, they're coated with a layer of rubber to prevent scuffing your gear. They even come with in-depth installation instructions for an easy, no-drill mount. Lifetime Warranty.

"It was easy to install. The only thing I wonder about is how easily the protective caps for the base(used when the rack is off)might come off during travel. Will wait to see. Also, my Yakima kayak rack with its "square rail" attachment piece doesn't fit square on this Thule rack. It is at a bit of an angle."

"The rack was what I had expected although, I could not use it due to the wind noise. I just ordered the Thule Fairing for an additional $75. I plan to try the rack with the fairing this weekend. If the rack noise is improved it will be at an added expense. If it does not improve with the extra part and cost, I will not be satisfied. Overall, the rack is solid and easy to install."

"Shipment was quick! I do believe it was too costly though. Seems like alot of money to just hold up a carrier. One disappointment - it was not vehicle specific, so as a result, it is bigger than I needed and rods stick out slightly, but it surved the purpose and is working out fine. I didn't know I needed the rack system to hold the carrier on until the salesman told me though. I would think if you bought the carrier, they (Thule) should either include the rack or DRASTICALLY discount the rack. I am, however, a satisfied customer and will continue to buy Thule and Autoanything products."
