It says on this page that it is a thule product but it has another brand on the rack I just received. Are they actually manufactured by thule?

the one I purchased was VW original equipment. not sure about the Thule trademark

It's an oem Volkswagen part made for Volkswagen by thule this is why it may not have a thule stamp or emblem

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

This is an original VW rack. I have installed it and used it the past few months, and it has been perfect! I have loaded, 12 Ft long Christmas tree, tables, chairs, dresser and misc. items. There is only a couple of disadvatages to the rack. It is a little noisy above 60 miles per hour and my fuel economy has dropped about 6 miles to a gallon. Of course, you will have the same issues with any rack, since you reduce the aerodynamics of the car. But, the rack is very good quality, easy to make adjustments and install on an VW car. Good Luck.

Thule is the company manufacturing the SportRack bike carrier, and they sell all the spare parts, as well as any add-ons you might require. Use Amazon Thule SportRack replacement parts to find what you need. You should be OK.

Hi Oldsquid,Thule does not have round bars, those would most likely Yakima Cross Bars. This product can be mounted on those bars. Thank you for the inquiry and have a great day!

I'm pretty sure they would be a fit. However, I would probably not buy these, if I had the decision to make again. The Thule racks weren't a lot more expensive, and from what I understand, they don't make the annoying whistling sound that these do when traveling. Overall, they were an okay buy... but I'd probably spring for the Thule.

Yes, as a matter of fact they are attached to my Thule bars right now. I have a Thule carrier and the malones attached to a Subaru Crosstrek. You will like the fold down feature also I think.

There are many choices. We sell mostly Thule and Yakima. Both are top of the line brands.

Hi Debra, we list all of the available parts for this carrier on the product page on the Thule website. Towards the bottom of the page you will see a button that says 'view spare parts' and if you click there a diagram and parts listing will come up and allow you to order the available parts. Thanks!

Hi Mark, yes this product is designed to fit to all Thule bars including the LB series.

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

Hi Andre, you will need to see our "buyer's guide" for the recommended Thule roof rack system for your vehicle. The crossbars are separate to this product, but both are compatible. Thanks!

It should fit as is. I would just check on the size of your crossbars to make sure they are similar size to the thule crossbars.

Several reasons: Supervision, clearance, backing/parking, and especially drag across ditches/potholes/dips/railroad tracks. Thule will not cover warranty or other issues if the rack is used in this way; it is a voiding of the Warranty.

Hi there! You know, I honestly think they do. You're referring to Thule Cargo Carriers, right? If so, then yeah - the carriers have open loops on the bottom that should slide onto any roof racks. So these should indeed work out for you :)But just to be on the safe side, you'd probably wanna check out the Thule website and see if there's more info about it.

I'm sorry, but I have no idea. Our rack is still in the box (it will be a present) and nowhere is there any indication where it was made.Tom.

I have not mounted a Thule bar in this but was informed that it will not fit. You may need to get different mounting brackets

They are the ones from Cook's Illustrated,which is the same company as Cook's Country. They are superb - the best racks I've ever had, especially because of the crosswise supports which keep a cake's weight from making them sag.

Gonna be tricky. I bought Thule bars six years ago. Best move I've ever made. They should fit. Just hold your mouth right. Lol
