A change of car has forced me to seek out a new set of roofbars. I wanted the best set of roof bars for my car without going silly on the cost. This time I have went for the Thule Wing bars<\/a>. These are known as the Thule Aeroblades in some parts of the word. I love cars that can have a set of roof bars bolted to them, either to fittings hidden within the roof or roof rails. The new Unsponsored HQ paddle wagon\/family transporter is a very sensible two litre 184bhp BMW 320d Sport.<\/p>\n

\"Thule<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

My latest car is an estate\/touring with a set of roof rails so requires a roofbar that can clamp directly to the rail. After looking at the OEM version I decided to take a closer look at the Thule Wing bars<\/a>. Mainly because the OEM version sat quite high off the roof and from BMW would have cost a small ransom. I have had a few different sets of Thule bars in the past and still own\/use a set of Thule ProRide 591 bike carriers<\/a> so it made sense to have a look at the newer offerings. In addition Thule have a pretty good reputation world wide and certainly have great customer service here in the UK.<\/p>\n

There were a few types of bar I could have chosen. Firstly the bog standard square bars, which are pretty good but they don’t have the T channel for quick attachment of bike carriers and roof boxes. They still work really well but I have a few bits that use the T bolt system and I really like it for ease and security. The second is the Aero bars system which I have used a great deal in the past. They are again good, but I found them to be a little noisy on the cars I have had in the past. This may have been down to the bars or the foot system, or the way I had fitted them. The Aero bars do have the T channel which still makes them a contender. OEM bars tend to be very similar to the Thule Aero bars anyway. However for a little bit more cash the Thule Wing bars<\/a> offer a lower profile, a reported 55% reduction in drag compared to the Aero bars and a possibility of an overall quieter system. After a hunt around (see below) I got the Wing bars for the price of a set of Aero bars<\/p>\n

\"Thule<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Thule<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, just to complicate matters the Thule Wing bar system is available in two different flavours. You can go for the Thule Rapid system<\/a> which involves purchasing the bars, a foot pack and clamp system to fit your car. Alternatively the Wing bar can also be purchased in the Wing Bar Edge<\/a> format which gives an even lower profile and comes complete, but does narrow the amount of carrying space. I therefore went for the Rapid system to maximise the width of the bars.<\/p>\n

Rather than going for a pack put together by a roof rack shop or supplier I decided to visit the Thule website, find the make, model and year of my car to create a shopping list of the parts required. This is a simple but crucial process as the different possible combinations of bars, foot pack and fitting kit is enormous. Once checked I sourced each of the parts from different suppliers on Amazon<\/a>. This saved around 20% and as I have Amazon Prime included free delivery.<\/p>\n

The parts required to build my Thule Wing bars were:<\/p>\n

A set of 961 Wing bars<\/a>
\nA Thule 753 rapid foot pack
\nA 4023 fitting kit<\/p>\n

I also ordered four new lock barrels to match the four I already have on my pair of Thule ProRide 591 bike carriers<\/a>. You can buy 8 packs of barrels which would have worked but I have a perfectly good set of four matching barrels on my ProRide racks, so it was great to find a store that would sell me barrels matched to those that I already have.<\/p>\n

I took my time fitting the parts of the Thule Wing bar system<\/a> together and making sure that they were positioned and setup on the car correctly. I made sure that when positioned I took a note of what the feet of the bars lined up with. In my case they lined up with a couple bits of trim near the B pillar and rear door. This did take some time to get just so, but was worth it as they can now be fitted to the car in a matter of minutes.<\/p>\n

To be honest I wasn’t expecting to have a system that was super quiet. But this system is. I have never used such a quiet set of bars. I have been using them for the last few months and they have been on the car without boats, with one, two and three boats and each time the noise has been so quiet that it is not really noticeable. There was no need to turn the music up to drown out whistling! Thule reckon there is a 90% reduction in noise compared to the Aero bars. I couldn’t say whether or not it’s 90% but it certainly is virtually silent.<\/p>\n

\"Thule<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Thule<\/a><\/p>\n

The rubber strip used on the Wing bars<\/a> to cover the T channel is different from that used on the Thule Aero bars. This strip has a series of ridges. This addition makes the rubber super grippy against boats.<\/p>\n

So far so good. Choosing to get matching sets of barrels was great move as only one key needs to be carried, and although briefly tempted by the new black anodised Wing bars<\/a> I am really happy with the natural aluminium coloured. The finish will hide bumps, scrapes and scratches much better than the black anodised versions<\/a>. The black versions<\/a> are also around \u00a320 more.<\/p>\n

I’m using these bar with two Thule 591 bike racks<\/a> with the T track system.<\/p>\n

For additional security I have bought a couple of these<\/a>. They can add extra security when my bikes are on the roof by locking the wheels in place and when I have a paddle (or paddle bag) is can be looped over and locked to the rack.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: March 2016, I am still very impressed with the Thule Wing bars. They have been faultless and silent.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 2: July 2017, I have now sold the BMW and now have a Skoda Octavia VRS Estate. It takes the same width bar but requires a different foot system as the rails on the car are not fully flush. A simple swap over using a set of Thule 757 footpack<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
