The number of family members, like the number of outdoor activities, tend to increase with time and space in the car is reduced accordingly. One way to make room for more adventure is to load things on your car roof. Start by choosing a rack that suits your needs. A Thule roof rack is the strong foundation for every load, and you can easily mount accessories for different purposes. The racks also rest on a strong foundation themselves. For decades, weve been working continuously with product development, testing, and renement. This has made our range the worlds widest but the thoughts behind each product are still the same: perfect t, reliable function, safety, and ease of use. We know youre eager to get out there. With a Thule rack, its just a few simple operations and youre on your way.

Getting started
The new, easy, and comprehensive Thule Fit Guide at www.thule.com, or the printed FitGuide available in shops, will help you nd the perfect solution to your needs.
Thule WingBar If you want to use your bar often and leave it mounted on your car when not in use, the lightweight aluminium Thule WingBar might be the perfect choice. The bar is basically noiseless, and its T-track allows you to use the full width of the bar and easily t load accessories. Its aerodynamic design also makes it our best-looking bar.
Thule SlideBar If youre going to transport sports equipment such as kayaks or bikes, if you have a bulky load, or if you have a high car, take a look at the innovative Thule SlideBar. The bar slides out on either long side of the car body so you can easily manage your load.
Thule SquareBar If you only use your bar once in a while, the standard Thule SquareBar, made of steel and coated in black plastic for a durable nish, might be right for you.
Thule Professional Bar Craftsmen have special needs, and we have a special bar the sturdy Thule Professional Bar, with a unique tri-slot design for ttingof multiple accessories. For more information about the Thule Professional range, see www.thule.com.
