After changing my car I visited Halfords to ask about replacement parts to fit my new car. The advisor hummed and ha'd at his screen, looking up quizzically every now and again. After about 5 minutes he looked me in the eye and said that the ones I had for my old car should fit fine. Taking him at his word I wandered off home and happily agreed to go kayaking with a friend.While preparing for the trip, I discovered the advice was wrong and that plunged me into a surreal world of model numbers and incomplete information that almost made me almost give up and buy a complete new kit.When I finally worked out the models I thought I just needed the internal elements that physically attached to the roof rail and got the “Thule 184023 Kit 4023 Flush”.

I purchased this foot pack along with the Thule 3118 fitting kit and Aero bars to fit my 2014 Honda CRV with flush roof rails.As per my separate review for the fitting kit, I am pleased with the whole set-up.Simple to assemble and set to the width of the car. By using an aftermarket ratchet driver and Torx bit, I can fit and remove the roof bar/foot pack/fitting kit assemblies from my vehicle in a couple of minutes.Whilst the foot pack is lockable, the logical way to remove and refit the whole set-up is to bolt and unbolt the fitting kit feet, so the lockable element of the foot pack is redundant in my opinion. The bolts securing the fitting kit to the vehicle roof rails are T30 tamper proof Torx bolts.

As per a number of other reviewers of the thule systems I had initially been out off by the high cost of investing in the thule system when I only occasionally use a roof rack, mainly for cycle transport when boot in use. However after purchasing a vehicle specific generic model that I could then not get other pieces for to,adjust to new car the thule system looks like good value in terms of lasting many years / fitting alternative cars.These fix points are for cars with existing roof rails. They need to be purchased along with a vehicle specific adaptor and then the rails themselves, of which there are a few options.I purchased all the items for a audi a3 and found the set up and install very straight forward.

The product is of the usual high Thule standard. However it was unclear that additional fixing kit was required in order to fit the rack to the car (Vauxhall Zafira with flush mounted rails) unlike other Thule products which are all in one kits. This necessitated a rushed visit to Halfords at 5.15pm on a Saturday evening to buy the additional fixing kit in order that we could go on holidays next morning. Once the additional fixing kit was purchased it was easy to put together the two parts to make the full clamp. Delivery was a bit slow but this was probably due to 2 public holidays the week that the products were to be delivered.

A pending camping trip to France and a new smaller car resulted in having to buy a roof box. So we looked everywhere for the best quality at a reasonable price and decided to go with Thule ones.Great quality, great security with keys and a spare set. I did struggle with fitting these to my car and I found the instructions to be a little bit complicated, but I don’t know if it was just me not reading them properly as when I asked for help they were fitted in no time.

Once you've done the hours of research into the various different packs you need (we're using these on a 2009-2016 Peugeot 3008), the Thule system is really excellent. There is a bit of pondering over the instructions, but once you work it out it all does literally click into place.After carrying two bikes around the Highlands of Scotland I can say the whole system performed amazingly. Pricey, but we feel like it has given us great value.

Purchased as part of the entire kit for installing a roof box.The instructions are absolutely useless, don't even bother with those. Instead, find an installation video online!The feet do lock but if installed onto a flush roofbar, anyone with a star drive can simply unscrew them and lift off your car. However, this is a common design and we are looking forward to trying it out soon

The final part to my Thule setup. Coupled with the fitting kit for my car, and the wing bars, i have the perfect roof mounting system It is more expensive, but is so more secure than any other setup i have tried. Loads just don't budge, and with locks at every fixing point it should be secure.Looks good too. Initially fiddly, but you soon get the hang of it!

These do the job they are supposed to do with out any hassles! Fitted to and Audi A4 Avant, was expecting them to fit the rail dimples but they just grip the rail with rubber liners, very secure and won't damage anything if fitted correctly. Mounted my wingbars on them no problem.

The Thule roof racks are very well made and thankfully reusable when changing cars with the right Footpacks / fitting kits.Well made and seem to be durable.The only issue I have with them is that the footpacks / fitting kits are slightly pricey for what you're getting.

General good stuff quality. You might have a problem for Mercedes A class with the Thule 861 sqare bars since the system for the back supports need to be adjusted inwards the bars (car design) and there is not enough clearance for that (on the bars).Recommended

Excellent thule product which was matched with thule wing bar 961 and fixing kit 4009. This was purchased for a hyundai IX35 and fitted well on the intergrated rool rails. I would highly recommend this product especially at the price that I purchased these for.

Bought for a BMW 5 GT along with the 962200 wingbar and required fixing kit. Good solid product. I use it to carry 4 bikes on the roof using the Thule bike holders. Overall a great setup and i feel safe that the bikes are being held securely on the roof.

Top quality, as expected. The instructions are a bit vague so I was concerned, unnecessarily. Once I had the bits in my hands there was no problem using them. The footpack, fitting kit and the bars went together like a dream.
