Hi

Does anyone know if we will be able to put thule bars on the Cross Turismo rails ? Will that come later ?
Thule Aero bars are so much better than Porsche's

I reached out to Thule directly a month ago to see if I could get the foot pack / conversion kit for the Taycan. They were less than helpful even though we all know they’re making the racks and carriers for Porsche as they’ve done previously. For now there are no Thule branded parts for the Taycan.

I would be stunned if there wasn’t a compatible foot back if you have existing Thule kit. If not and can’t wait then go Porsche. The rails look similar to Macan / Cayenne and potentially the fittings are identical BUT not something you want to guess at clearly.

Getting feet to fit the rails should be easier than feet to fit into a roof recess as per the saloon - too risky.

Hopefully, the situation will improve and there is a choice to be had.

Thank you for your response

I actually own the aero thule bars (and feets) which I currently use on my Macan. I hope as you say it will fit the CT.

Did you try, and did they fit? I am looking for a good solution for the cross bars on my 2022 CT... I have no silver/chrome on the outside of the car so looking for something that comes in black!

Some discussion in this thread. I purchased the Thule Wingbar Edge in black from an online retailer on Europe and had them shipped to the US. The Thule Wingbars are low profile and width-adjustable (though you still need to buy the correct size - WingBar Edge 9585B). They fit well. I am using them with the Porsche Performance Roof Box.

Do you mind to send us the purchase link as I still couldn't find it on the Thule US site and there's no words on the factory crossbar neither (ordered since Oct 21').

This company is in Latvia. Shipping to USA has increased significantly since I ordered:

Another US-based forum member ordered from a retailer in Spain. I don’t have that link though.

Why not try to get the new model from a UK retailer?

For the Thule 9585B, there seems to have different sizes. What size would fit the CrossTurismo?

Thanks!

I ordered 9585 for my CT. Haven’t got the car nor the bars yet. But the set has two different size, front and rear have a different size bar.

I have the 9585B and they are spring loaded so they adjust for the difference in width. They are low profile and fit great - enough clearance for our thule roof box attachment claws. I dont like how high the OEMs ones sit.

What Thule roofbox do you have? I ordered a Vector M. It is aerodynamic and the front comes quite low. I hope this won’t be a problem with the low position of the wingbars.

The Thule wing bar does not scratch the roof rails? It looks like it’s fastened with a rubber-like strap? If so, I’m getting them as I was just waiting for alternatives to Porsches.

9585 or 9585B are the correct SKUs. On the FixParts site, notice that the part number changes depending on selection of the size, which in FixParts designation should be M/L for the CT. I and others here have the 9585B. It is adjustable and fits the CT roof bars well.

Sorry I see I already asked you the same thing in January.
