I bought the Thule 7502 Aeroblade bars for a 2014 Jeep Patriot. Can I use these bars with this box, or need to raise the bars?

The Thule 612 Hyper rack cargo box can be used with the Aeroblade bars and should not require any additional setup.

There is a quick-release on the handlebar stem. It can be raised but not lowered from the original factory assembly

They're for different style bars - if your bars on top are square shaped, I think you need the 450. If its the aero shape, you'll need the 450R.

As it is stock, you cannot adjust the bar height. But with a $30 Delta riser, you can raise the bars about 3". I wouldn't suggest raising the bars more than that. Also, if you go more than that, you will need to replace all the cables to accommodate the extra height.

Hi Juan - our Buyer's Guide will show exactly which models are recommended for your vehicle. In this case, as long as you have the factory installed rails that run front to back, your vehicle will take the 7502 (medium) Aero Blade Edge bars for the front and rear. Thanks!

If you Mini Cooper has vertical bars it will work. I just sold my Jeep Patriot and now have a Toyota RAV4 and the Thule 450 works on both vertical bars. With this you need the horizontial bars for whatever you plan on putting on top of the roof.

They will fit any cross bar, I have them on a Thule pickup rack that has very large cross bars and also use them on Thule cross bars on my jeep Patriot (not Aerobars) but I'm sure you will not have a problem.

Good day, this product is compatible with the Thule AeroBlade load bars. Thanks!

I have both a Thule and a Yakama rack on two different cars and put the Roof box on either. On my last SUV I was able to put this Box on the Factory bars.Hope this helps.

The rails are very easy to install but are really not meant to be taken off and then put back on frequenty as you described. The bolts holding the clamps to the side rails use a hex head wrench provided in the kit and it takes some time to tighten them as access with a hex bit on a cordless drill is a little dicey.If aero-drag is a concern, you need not be. They are quite aerodynamic IMO, shaped similar to a wing (rounded leading edge leading to sharp trailing edge).So my suggestion would be to make your Thule box the 'portable' item.

It's a pretty standard Thule rack, they give you square slot holders and a generic around the bar holder. So if you have the VW rails (which I'm pretty sure are Thule) you should be set. I love them!

Hi Jon, these are proprietarily designed to work with Thule fit kits, as all manufacturers make their own, only our products will attach to our Edge systems. You will need the Edge bars x 2 as well as the fit kit for your specific vehicle to install these. Thanks!

Good day, this model is a universal carrier designed to fit Thule, as well as other aftermarket and factory rack systems. Nothing looks abnormal about the bar set, so as long as the vehicle can take the weight, you should be able to install this product without issue. Thanks!

Hi Chris, If you have Thule Square Crossbars, then you can install a Thule Fairing and the 594XT. The 594XT will stick out past the front bar as well as the fairing.Thank you for the inquiry and have a great day!

Cherokee might be pushing the weight limit on this bar. You might need the higher end bar.

I tend to doubt it. I think you would be much happier with the Thule crossbars, as it is extremely important to get the correct overhang so the hullivator can properly clear the side of the car when lowered.

No, the bars themselves do not have a locking system. They integrate with the Thule 460R Rapid Podium Foot Pack (Set of 4), which can be set for locking if you buy the Thule 544 Lock Cylinders for Car Racks (4-Pack). As for the weight, Thule.com says "BoxBeam - The sophisticated BoxBeam aluminum extrusion creates one of the strongest load bars in the market. Using a vertical load test, the AeroBlade can sustain over 800 lbf of force." I am not sure about the weight capacity of the foot pack. I hope this helps you make your decision.
