Thule Rapid Traverse Foot Pack (Set of 4) - Universal Fit for Roof Racks - Heavy Duty Black Roof Rack Feet - Perfect for SUVs, Trucks & Adventure Vehicles

Outstanding product line. I was really very impressed with the Thule roof system, all aspects. After visiting the fit guide I knew exactly what I needed with MSRP included per part. All the bits I needed where easy enough to find; had the whole thing ordered in a matter of minutes saving about $30 off sticker , free shipping with prime PLUS since its amazon the sales tax was, shall we say absent. All in all I made out like a bandit on the purchase.As far as installation(06 VW GTI) the instructions are a little daunting without the pieces out in front of you, but, once you visualize the installation as illustrated it's actually quite simple. By the time you've done one cross bar, you're a pro; super intuitive. Also I want to point out that you get some thoughtful extras that are left out of the product description, like very hefty clear poly-somthing sheets to actually adhere to the car preventing clear coat damage, as well as supplemental weather stripping for your door wells to help seal out the elements. Quality hardware and materials, they give you your money's worth.Just a heads up though, the front load bar disrupts airflow over the roof line at speeds above about 40mph generating a low howling noise. You should count on buying a faring, It totally eliminates this problem plus it's so darn nice to look at.All things considered this is a fine product- solid, intuitive, beautiful and practical; really the perfect hat for your auto. If it would be beneficial for you to carry stuff on your roof, you'll be happy with this product family.
