Thule AeroBlade Edge Raised Rail Load Bar - 1 Bar

I bought a pair of these as open box and were fine. One box was beat up and the bar was a little dirty, but the other was fine. I had a hard time figuring out how to slide the side in with the manual, so went to YouTube to help. Installation wasn’t too difficult and they seem very sturdy.As for noise, anything on your roof is going to make some noise, and these are no different. I like to keep my sunroof on my Subaru open on the highway a lot, so this being on top didn’t add much to the noise. Over 70mph you could hear it getting louder. But at lower speeds, I only really hear a slight whistle noise. Make sure when you put the bars on you put them on the right way. That could be why some people are hearing a louder noise!

Got a set of these for a 2014 Subaru Forester and they are fantastic. Absolutely zero noise and the fit and finish is superb. The install is a piece of cake and they didn't noticeably hurt my mileage with two 518 Echelon's installed. One small downside is with the integrated mounts you can't install racks on the very edge so they have to go a half a foot inwards or so. This might make it hard for some if your roof is higher, but it isn't that bad at all. HIghly recommend!

Thule is solid all around and these bars are great, but the packaging was damaged and the bar was rattling around in it. It also looks like someone took what they wanted out of the box and retapped it. I’m missing a strap, but read somewhere that Thule will send it for free. Great product, but crappy shipping.

Thule makes a great product. The aero blade is constructed well and heavy duty. After install it looks sleek and not bulky over my cars rails. However the downfall is the wind howl. Once you exceed 30 it gets louder and louder. For long trips I could not stand it so i had to return it. Visually 10 out of 10. noise 1 out of 10.

Bought these crossbars for my 21 Crosstrek knowing I'd be buying the Thule basket. Got a great deal through the Amazon used program but be careful. People are ordering these and taking small crucial pieces out and then returning them. Makes no sense because Thule will send extra pieces to you. The product itself is fantastic. These Aero bars are super sturdy and install is fairly easy. These took about an hour to install but be mindful since you will probably end up moving them later to install any attachments. My first bar was missing the center rubber foam stripping but luckily Thule sent me another one. The other bar was missing the straps , rubber stripping and the rubber inserts where the locks would go. Again, Amazon cust service is pretty damn good even if you have to have the Bat Signal to find them. Lol. Great purchase. Bottom line is that Thule makes a great product.

The Large is the 7503B, and the Medium is the 7502B. My 2014 Subaru Impreza Sport needed one of each (7503 front, and 7502 rear). The 7503 was a bit tight to fit, but its rock solid and isn't going anywhere. The 7502B fit like a charm and was easy to get in.I needed to use the 2nd notch on the rubber cuff when attaching it to my factory side rails.These are a bit pricy but they look really awesome and they are a well made product. I hope they are going to be very durable.Reason for 4 stars is that it didn't say in any of the information that I needed 4 locks total (2 per rail). That was a bit of a bummer.Please Thule for this much money, please include the locks with the rails. That would be better than a nickel and dime scheme.All-in-all I would recommend this product to anyone who is in the market.

I truly believe these are the best bars out there, if you can afford it. Dont be fooled, the price you see is the cost of One Bar. However it is worth it, they are very strong, low profile, quit when you don't have a rack or bike up there, and easy to install or remove.

I purchased this item through Amazon; shipped in three days (5 stars on shipping). Drove 9 hours to Florida with racks installed. Seems like a good product, wind noise (whistle) over 15 mph is unbearable. Attached a double stroller to the racks, worked well. I have since returned home and I have uninstalled them from my 2013 Ford Explorer, due to wind noise. Not worth the money.
