With a Thule roof rack, you're fully prepared to embark on your adventures, ensuring you can bring everything you need. Our roof racks provide the perfect foundation for carrying your essential gear, whether it's a roof box, bike carrier, ski carrier, or kayak carrier, so you can pursue your passions without limitations.

No matter your car brand or model, there’s a Thule roof rack solution that fits perfectly.

hule roof racks are designed for easy installation on all types of vehicles and come with everything you need. By working closely with the automotive industry, Thule often has a roof rack solution available for new vehicle models before they even hit the market!

Most Thule roof rack systems consist of three components: roof bars, feet, and a fit kit (some systems may not require a fit kit). The roof bars carry your load, the feet attach to a specific roof type (see roof types below), and the fit kit ensures the perfect fit for your car model. At Thule, we offer our roof racks as complete systems, providing you with roof bars, feet, and fit kits in one convenient package.

A roof platform, such as the Thule Caprock, is an alternative to a traditional roof rack. It mounts directly onto your vehicle’s roof using a fit kit and roof rack feet, similar to a roof rack setup. However, it can also be used in combination with your Thule roof rack, offering added versatility for your adventures.

Roof platforms are particularly popular with overlanders and outdoor enthusiasts, providing a flat, sturdy base that accommodates a wide range of gear. The Thule Caprock comes in various sizes and features an adjustable base crossbar, allowing for a customized fit tailored to your vehicle. This versatile design makes it easy to mount popular overlanding accessories, including light bars, jacks, rooftop tents, and other essential gear.

Whether you're heading out on a camping trip, off-roading adventure, or simply need extra space for equipment, a roof platform like the Thule Caprock offers a flexible and reliable solution for carrying all your gear safely and efficiently.

Installing roof racks on your vehicle is a straightforward process, but the exact steps depend on the type of car you have. A typical roof rack system consists of two load bars, feet, and a fit kit that ensures the roof rack attaches securely to your specific vehicle model.

To install roof racks on your vehicle, start by visiting our roof rack page and entering your car's details. This will guide you to the correct roof rack system for your car.

No matter your vehicle, Thule roof racks are designed for easy and secure installation, ensuring that your gear is safely transported wherever your adventures take you.

All Thule roof racks are designed to carry up to 75 kg. However, the maximum weight of the system is determined by the vehicle itself. For more details on the max weigh capacity of your vehicle, consult your vehicle manufacturer.

To find the right roof rack for your vehicle, head to the roof rack systems page, click on “Select vehicle”, and enter your car model details to find a roof rack that will fit your specific vehicle.

Choosing the right roof rack is easy when you start with a simple question: Do you need more loading space, or would you prefer a streamlined design? At Thule, we offer a variety of roof racks to suit your specific needs.

At the Thule Test Center™, you might think we’re tough on our products. You’d see the satisfaction on the face of the engineer loading twice the recommended maximum weight onto a towbar-mounted bike carrier before sending it on a simulated journey twice around the world. Or the technician who happily subjects roof racks to extreme heat, freezing cold, UV radiation, humidity, and even harsh chemicals. And let’s not forget the engineer who finds joy in crash-testing roof boxes — performing over 100 crash tests in a single year.

Safety Above All

All of this rigorous testing is driven by Thule's top priority: your safety and the safety of those around you. While durability and quality are important, we take safety to the next level with exhaustive, demanding lab tests. In fact, we’ve developed the Thule Test Program™, which includes more than 25 "Thule standards" that far exceed ISO requirements.

Extreme Testing

At the Thule Test Center™, our products undergo extreme testing before they can carry the Thule name. This includes exposure to desert-like heat, arctic cold, water resistance trials, drop tests, wind tunnels, as well as tensile strength, shock, and crash testing.

The World is Our Lab

Beyond the lab, we test prototypes in real-world conditions, ensuring they perform as intended in everyday life. We focus on features that enhance safety, ease of use, and enjoyment. When we’re confident that a product has met our highest standards, we know you’ll feel the same.

Testing Beyond Limits

We push our products to the limit — and then beyond — so you don’t have to. You can focus on living your active life with peace of mind, knowing your Thule gear has been rigorously tested. And that smile on our engineer's face? It’s pride in knowing our products are the best.
