I have a camper shell that says it features Yakima tracks. Are Thule and Yakima's parts interchangeable?

Hi Ryan, No, the parts are not interchangeable. We are two very different companies.

I use the Thule cargo box and it works great. I believe the Yakima cargo box requires a different cross bar. I hope this helps.

Your best bet is to contact Thule direct. I had questions when I ordered mine, and they were very helpful.

I don't see why not. I have after-market rack bars myself (Yakima, though, not Thule). The parts for the bike rack that latch onto the roof bars are fully adjustable. It seems like a very good rack for the price-I just made a 3,000 mile trip with no problems at all, although just to be safe I used small bungee cables for a little extra security.

The 450R is the "Thule Rapid Crossroad Foot Pack" and the 450 is the "Thule Crossroad Railing Foot Pack". The 450R is designed to work with Thule's newer Aeroblade load bars (they shaped like an airplane wing), while the 450 is designed to work with the regular/basic square shaped Thule load bars. Both footpacks attach to the cars factory rack the same way, but the 450R won't work with square Thule load bars, and the 450 won't work with the Thule Aeroblade load bars.

Hi Rick, the Thule fairing does follow the contour of the roof to a certain extent. It is meant to sit in between the two feet of the roof rack system. Thank you.

I have a Swagman rack and cannot state with any certainty whether it would fit the Thule rack.

Only you can answer this question - There are many things to think about (i.e. existing rack/mounts)......The easiest way to know for sure is to go to the thule website and use their FIT GUIDE....it will guide you through your car, and tell you all the different parts/pieces you need.

If you use the Thule fit guide it will tell you exactly what parts you need. I suspect those bars are too short. Please don't hesitate to call with any questions. We are here to help. Cheers.

Like all the other questions and answers on this item - you need to go to www.thule.com and enter your vehicle information - then the manufacturer will tell you what you need -

I looked at mine and they also do not have the Thule logo...believe thule manufactures them for VW. Mine have the VW logo on the bars, mounts...etc

I agree with both of the previous responders. I.e., I don't see why it would not fit, but you should check the Yakima site for assurance.

"Body armor 5125 roof rack adapter pair"These will allow Thule or Yakima rails to be used on this rack, and then you can put a basket on that.

This is an OEM VW part, not Thule. It includes the two cross bars and mounting equipment (feet). Although it's an easy install, I opted to take it to my local VW dealer and have it installed by them (which they'll only do with authentic VW parts). The bars have a unique elliptical shape. I needed the bars for my road bike, so I opted for a Yakima fork mount and SKS lock cores.

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

Yes the Yakima Fork Lift will fit the Thule Aero Bars as well as the Yakima Whispbar.
