Did you know that some bars are more interchangeable than others?

Not all roof bars are universal! Choosing the right set depends on your car’s roof type, load capacity, and budget.

Types of Roof Bars & Their Interchangeability

• Square Bars (Most Interchangeable)
  Steel bars with standard fittings; widely compatible across brands.

• Aero Bars (Moderately Interchangeable)
  Aluminum bars with a T-track system; many brands use similar mounting styles.

• Thule Wing Bars (Least Interchangeable)
  Exclusive to Thule, highly aerodynamic but brand-specific.

Which Roof Bars Fit Your Car’s Roof Type?

• Bare Roof
  Requires a foot pack & specific fitting kit.
  Best options: Square bars or Aero bars with dedicated mounting brackets.

• Fixed Points
  Uses hidden screw holes; needs a model-specific mounting kit.
  Best options: Aero bars or Thule Wing bars for better aerodynamics.

• Flush Rails
  Some need T-track adapters, others use clamps.
  Best options: Aero bars or Thule Wing bars due to compatibility with sleek rail designs.

• Raised Rails (Most Universal Fit)
  Most bars with standard clamps will fit.
  Best options: Square bars, Aero bars, or Thule Wing bars depending on preference.
