- Hi everyone,
I made this Thule Wingbar installation video to help you fit and remove a Thule Wingbar.
It demonstrates a fixed point fitting
In this video I am fitting to a 2009 e92 BMW so ensure you check the Thule website here to make sure you put your vehicle details in and get the right foot pack and fitting kit.

Paul you are a saviour, the manual for the wingbar is next to useless but your video guided me through step by step. Thanks for putting it together 👍🏻
You’re welcome mate. 👍🏻
Paul, your video helped me a lot to assemble my thule freeride 532.Thanks
Your welcome, was the sound ok?
Very good description and instructional video! Thank you!
You’re welcome
The best tutorial on the web. Thanks for existing from Italy !!!
Grazia per le gentili parole!
Perfect mate, thanks. Off to fit my wingbars 👍
Glad I could help!

Your welcome

Your welcome my friend!

Your welcome
This is an amazing bike rack
Great vid thanks
Perfect thanks very much 👌
Glad it helped.
Great video man. I just got the Evo wingbar and I'm waiting on the mounting kit for my Mercedes. The instructions aren't very good and you would think Thule would have their own videos(but they don't). After this investment I'm really thinking I need to go ahead and get the locks. Very clear on every step.
Thanks. Yeh I would say yes to the locks. Depends where you live!😂
@@paulstaines9205 Yah, no doubt. One thing about the kit they sent me. The screw that goes into the roof has an end to it so I have to thread it through the mounting bracket. It's very hard to find the thread on the car.
@@wlouisharris mine came with a tapping screw to use before. That cuts the thread in for you.
@@paulstaines9205 I had to attach the mounting kit first. It was impossible to find the thread hole. I'll have to see if I can attach the rails with the mounting kit attached first.
@@wlouisharris I had one end right and the other end loose, then you could put the bolts into the car first and and locate the mounts over the bolts. Fixed end first then the loose end.
Thanks, very helpful
No worries
Thanks for the video, for clarity does the thinner side of the roof bar face towards the front or back?
Thin at the back. Thick at the front. 👍🏻
Should the thick part of the bar face forwards and the thin face rear of car on the wingbars
Yes mate 👍🏻
Grazie!
Prego! For the video and the Euro championships!
What holds the wingbar in place? I've got that plastic "measuretape" on one side and the rubber und the other side. Is that all to keep the wingbar secure and safe?
I'm concered it could move left/right.
It’s around the 5 min mark on the video. The two Allen key bolts tighten to stop it moving left or right. It doesn’t go anywhere.
Great video. Has anyone ever tried mounting the podiums backwards? The wingbar I got is too long and that is the only way I will be able to fit it.
What do you mean by podiums? The brackets that attach to the car?
@@paulstaines9205 The podiums, so they would look convex. I think I would have to put the brackets on backwards also. Thanks!
Cheers. What size roof bars did you use?
Think they are 135cm length but not 100% on that. Just check the most suitable for your car.
Hey! I've got a significant noise since 45kph in wig bar edge on g30. Is it similar in your config?
No. Have you got exactly the same model? Is everything secure and tight?
@@paulstaines9205 I have wing bar edge. I went to a local dealership and found that everything is properly mounted. Conclusion was - in some models it is just louder. I was anxious to do something more and I wrapped a spiral made of paradors around front bar and the issue was solved. The noise substantially less pronounced.
@@booleana1981 what are paradors? Maybe it’s something to do with the car?
@@paulstaines9205 No, its just autodictionary. I have wound a paracord line around 5mm in diameter in a spiral pattern on a front bar. And it works! :)
@@booleana1981 interesting?
got the same one. the original manual was a big pain in the ass. Sadly seen your video too late, haha
😂
No tap in screw in the kit I was sent....
Got to say, about to fit these and having watched your video, the rubber feet seem to leave gaps. Expected a little better from Thule..
Great video though. Cheers.
Would have to speak to them about the tapping screw. Should still go in ok I would guess. The rubber feet don’t really need to fit down snug as they just stop direct weathering, you can see from the end of my video they follow the profile of the body work but don’t actually pres ms down on it.
@@paulstaines9205 what’s the point of the screw anyway? Is it to remove any residual paints/debris?
@@McStoolio yeh I would say so. Just spray a bit of WD40 in and screw it in and if it feels tight, unscrew it and then screw it down again. It will free up any gunk in the thread.
Mine didn't come with a tapping screw either. Very aggravating to pay 150 dollars for a kit and it's a pain in the rear to install.
Any other brand that installs easier?
Not sure to be honest
Thule is a rubbish stuff..so complicated... its not worth the money
Great vid thanks
Thanks.
