 Great Rack!, September 19, 2004
By R. Sobrato

I bought this for a 2000 BMW 5-Series a year ago and have never regretted it once. Both rack bars fit perfectly and screw in with a single screw. A special Allen wrench is included to lock the screws down. Thieves cannot remove the bars unless they have that special wrench. The feet for the bars are rubber coated to help protect your paint. There are also a couple of washers for each scew that fall off easily when you remove the rack from the car. I lost two already, but found suitable replacements at a hardware store. Overall, a great product. I would not hesitate to buy one.

Fits perfectly on my BMW 2005 325i, January 4, 2010

Have only used it once to carry a kayak but it's easy to put together and fits perfectly on my roof. Once you've put it together it takes 5 mins to put on or take off the car.
I didn't buy the locks but I guess someone could take the rack pretty easily if they really wanted to.

 Dangerous as provided, May 13, 2012

These would be just fine except for a critical flaw - the 1-inch screws that were provided were inexplicably too long for the bars to seat properly. Tried contacting Thule on-line (twice). The instructions had some drawings of the screws - presumably to scale at about 1/2 inch or so - however the actual screws that were provided were longer.
The lack of proper seating (screws too long to completely tighten) means that these bars wobble and are unsafe - a serious accident waiting to happen.
Half-inch screws would have made these ok - unfortunately these aren't provided (the Thule screws have specialized heads).
Thule really needs to address this. These would have been simple to replace.
Other than that, the rack system seems fine (except that the system doesn't accept existing bars from other Thule systems).
But the screw length is a show-stopper.

Perfect fit according to the Thule fit guide on the company web site. Installation was simple, and took no time at all. Most of all the price was RIGHT!!!
