Thule Evo silver WingBars package - 7105, 7111, 5169

This is a modular system, which means that you may be able to use some of these components on a different vehicle or (for example) change these silver aluminium Evo WingBars for a set of black aluminium Evo WingBars. The Foot Pack contains four feet which are clamped onto the roof with a vehicle-specific Adapter Kit.

Foot Pack: The Thule Evo Foot Pack 7105 is designed for use on vehicles that do not have any obvious roof fixings. These roof bars clamp around the bodywork, where available using any locating holes or lugs behind the door seals. This Foot Pack has a maximum load limit of 75kg, so this is the load limit for the whole system. Many vehicles have a lower roof-loading limit than this, so it is always important to check your vehicle handbook, and to think about the weight of the roof bars - approximately 7kg 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.

Evo WingBars: These 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.

There are three good reasons for choosing Evo WingBars:

• 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.
• They allow you to use the full length of your roof bars, which means you can carry more, and/or allow more space between accessories. This is because the accessories (e.g. bike carriers) fit into the slot in the top of each bar, well away from the roof bar feet which fit into a slot in the bottom of the bar. Steel bars are not so adaptable, because accessory fittings - which wrap around the bars - have to be positioned to avoid the roof bar feet.
• They look smart.

Adapter Kit: The Adapter Kit contains the essential components required to fix the roof bars to the vehicle, and contains 4 rubber pads and 4 metal clamps (coated in Pebax, a special hard rubber solution). It will 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 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.

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?
Most Express delivery orders will arrive on the next working day, if the order is placed before the cut-off time (see above). Some will arrive on the second working day if there has been a "split-delivery". 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.

Payment options:

We take the following cards, and also PayPal. Please note that the entry on your card statement will be from "The Roof Box Company".

Roof top tents are becoming increasingly popular, but we advise they should only be carried on vehicles which have rails, fixpoints, tracks or gutters.

They are not suitable for clamp-on roof bars.

If you are reading these notes then your vehicle uses clamp-on roof bars.

There are concerns for both safety and damage.

Having so much weight on clamp-on roof bars can cause the roof bars to flex and the clamps to be loosened. In many cases the vehicle roof is not strong enough to withstand the pressure of the load on the individual feet, especially with two people in the tent; the feet are likely to make dents in the car roof which will probably also reduce the efficiency of the whole roof bar clamping system.

Some roof top tent brands will suggest that you only need to worry about static and dynamic load weights, with no concern about the type of roof bar fixing. We think this is bad advice, as do for example Thule and Yakima, premium brands in the car racks sector who supply both roof bars and roof top tents, and would not reduce their own sales potential without very good reason.

We can’t stop you from buying clamp-on roof bars and then fixing a roof top tent to them – all we can really do is to give you fair warning of the potential problems, to strongly recommend that you follow our advice, and to tell you that any claims for damage to your vehicle roof, or worse, caused by use of a roof top tent or platform should be referred to your roof top tent supplier, or to your insurers, not to us.

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