Recommendation: Thule Wingbar Evo Roof Rack with Thule Force XT L Cargo Box

This summer, we installed the Thule Wingbar Evo roof rack on our I5 and it's worked great.

The installation is not difficult, though a little time-consuming the first time because you have to put the load bars and roof shape fit kit on the clamps and then measure out the mount points.

Here are the boxes that come with the set; roof fit kit (top left), load bars (right), clamps (bottom left)

But the instructions are clear and walk you though every little detail very well. And the fit is very secure, even after several hundred highway miles.

The roof-top cargo box loads easily and securely and fits a LOT of stuff.

Fully loaded (including the frunk) for camping!

\"Honey, why are you taking a picture and not getting in the car to go. 😑\"

I forgot to take pic of the gear loaded inside it, but it worked great for camping support!
