Evo Flush Rail Foot Pack

There isn't a lot of info out there on what roof racks work with the 2020 Ford Escape with panoramic roof. I took a gamble on the fit kit (6049), along with the evo flush rail foot pack and the 53" wingbar evo 135. It fit! Install was pretty easy. The only thing I had some frustration with was that I'd get all of my measurements perfectly set/centered/whatever but then as the bar tightens down it can pull you out of your perfect measurement a bit. It took a couple tries but I was able to get the bars perfectly centered and spaced eventually. Also, the end caps took a little finesse (gentle rubber mallet) to get pushed on, but it wasn't too bad. Start with the backside, tap tap tap, then make sure the middle area lines up with the rubber spacer, then keep tapping until it's all the way on. Better yet, there's at least 1/4" of clearance between the bar and the highest the panoramic roof goes while it's sliding back or tilting. There's a very slight increase in wind noise, and depending on which direction/speed wind is blowing from I pick up a tiny whistle somewhere in the 30-50 mph range. I haven't played around with moving the bars forward or backwards yet though. In any case, even with the radio on low the noise is easily drowned out. Overall, very pleased with my purchase.

Needed kit to mount to my new to me station wagon that has Flush bars. I already have a set of Thule square bars. My kit is missing the physical mounting hardware within the plastic pieces. I received only the plastic mounts, key and locks, and the wrench to install them but there was no hardware to in the foot pack to wrench. Instructions, Packaging, or listing do not make it clear what is included. Will be returning as I am unable to contact Thule.

Always great product

You still need the fit kit! I ordered this and couldn’t use it on the road trip we planned because I didn’t realize this! Go to the Thule site and look up the fit kit needed for your vehicle (for us that was Thule Kit 186117). Without it, you won’t be able to attach these feet to the roof rails of your vehicle!

Check out my video review for tips; The pros: -incredibly well made -Great looking addition to your vehicle -whisper quiet when paired with the evo bar the cons: -very high price tag (plan on paying around 700 for a full roof rack setup) -instructions could be better I hope this was helpful, along with the above video. If so, let me know by clicking below!

Does not fit 2025 Hyundai Palisade roof rails despite advertising that it does on their website. I did my research for my upcoming ski trip. Now I'm screwed.

Very nice support for Thule roof racks. I didn't realize until installation (when parts were missing) that you need a vehicle specific 'fit kit' that is sold seperatly. I was lucky enough to pick them up the next day at the local Public Lands store but installation was delayed at least one day because I was unaware that the seperate 'fit kit' was needed.

Don't trust the photos. They picture the fit kit, which is NOT included. These feet do not attach to your car without them. To say I'm disappointed with Thule is a massive understatement. If I hadn't already purchased all the other parts I'd be looking into another brand.
