This weeks featured installation
This week we are featuring a Thule AeroBlade roof rack system which we installed on a 2016 Subaru Impreza WRX 4 Door Sedan.
The Thule Aeroblade crossbars are one of the strongest yet most aerodynamic crossbars on the market allowing you to load heaps of gear onto your roof and not hear some loud whistling noise while heading down the highway! The AeroBlade bars are now available in a powder coated black finish allowing you to choose between either anodized aluminum bars or powder coated black bars.
The Thule Aeroblade roof rack systems offers excellent carrying capacity on the 2016 Subaru Impreza WRX Sedan with a 110 pound load capacity and a bar spread of 31 1/8". This allows you to carry bikes, skis, snowboards, kayaks, cargo boxes and more.
This rack system is easy to remove from the vehicle using the built in Acu-Tight handles to loosen and tighten the rack during removal and installation.
Worried about having the rack clip into the door? Thule clip-in-the-door rack systems offer the best protection for your vehicle. The clips which attach into your door frame are completely rubber dipped so that there is no metal to metal contact. The base of the rack has a rubber pad which is design to protect your vehicle from scratches while keeping the rack firmly in place on the vehicle. As a precaution always clean the area of your vehicle where the rack is going to sit to ensure no dirt or debris will be under the pad and clip. Also be sure to clean the pad and clip prior to installation.
