Does this foot pack lock to the roof like other Thule systems? Also, if it does, so I need to buy the additional Thule keys?

It is good for cars with rain gutters and low roofs. Keys and locks are sold separatelly

The kit worked fine with my Thule bars. I thought the same thing, and was pleasantly surprised when I put it together and it worked. I kept the saddles on the bars and just removed the bars before winter. The u bolts and the plastic caps for the saddles with locks were very tight fitting the first time and it took a little bar-soap as lubricant to make things slide together. Also, you have to squeeze the u-bolts open ends together to fit thru the holes in the saddles. I used a pair of Stanley Zip Clamps gently to assist in making it all work. After the first time, it all worked fine.

Just go to the Thule site it asks for the specifics for your car and let's you know which equipment is compatible. That way you'll be sure to purchase the correct foot pack etc,

Hi! Thule recommends the 7503 x 2 for this vehicle. Also, please do not forget the lock set 544 so you are able to lock the system to your roof. Thanks!

I'm not sure if the Thule locks work on every model of roof rack. It doesn't make sense that they would design different locks for every model, as the locks are sold separately, and it would cause way too much confusion. You might want to go to Thule's website to research this. I myself would just buy it, and if it doesn't fit, return it for another model or a refund. As I recall, when I bought my locks, there was a list of models it fit.

Jeremy,You can use the LB50 along with the Thule 450 Crossroads towers to complete your rack system. Add a 4 pack of Thule locks for security.

Yes, this style of roof rack clamps on those bars, you need one that clamps on the door openings like Thule or Yakima offers.

Just saw Caesar's answer..I bought this for my son and he has never had it lock. Back when out..something he told me he wished it did. 5hat was the basis of my original answer

it depends on which roof panel you have. Some roof's have a front lip and hang down a little more than others. I have the factory polaris lock-n-ride roof and it fits close enough that water doesn't come in. But its not a sealed edge kind of tight. Hope that helps

It can be. Loading the skis/boards more centrally (away from the pillar) seems to help. And don't be afraid to stand up on the door ledge and "Hulk Smash" the thing shut. I usually have to apply a fair amount of closing pressure while I'm turning the key as well. Wasn't sure if you were asking about closing/locking so I went with both. Good rack though - no buyer's remorse here at all. Hope this helps.

In order to lock your Thule rack to your car, you will need four lock cores alone at each end cap. To lock your accessories, you will need one lock core to secure your rack to the crossbars, plus one to secure your bike to the Bigmouth rack. So for your application you will need 6 lock cores. Hope this answers your question.

Good day, Unfortunately, out of the ten systems we offer, due to the design of your roof, none will be compatible. We do offer additional and specific fits under our Thule line of products. Thanks!

Your best bet is to go to Thule.com and check their official fit guide. It will let you put in a specific vehicle and check applications, or call them, they are great. You'll also see the related parts you may need/want, cross bars, locks,... I have this Thule system and it works well and is beautifully made.

It's find with a Landcrusier but a Rav has a smaller roof surface area. Suggest you contact Thule customer service.

I imagine you could attach two doors if you bought an extra one, but the roof is only made to line up with one door. There isn't a cutout for two doors so you would have to mickey mouse the roof with some Velcro to keep it out of the way of the extra door closing. As far as a lock, I don't know, but I wouldn't suggest it. It's better to keep it accessible at all times.

Yes, I have one too. These work great and make you safe getting on and off the roof. Once we got these, we wondered how we ever worked without them!

Hey Deb. My car is also two doors, and windows in rear passenger seats do not open. So I have just the one opening to run the racks through. And I have a glass roof too which I was concerned about. I have carried a single and a tandem kayak. You do have to pull the racks and cinch them tightly. I noticed that the metal part of my roof was not very firm. The glass part was fine but the weight was not too heavy. So my experience with one door opening and a glass roof was fine. They didn't make roof racks for my Fiat and these really worked well for little $$ too!
