Here is what we have to say about Racks, Toys, and the Sports we use them for!
  Thule 532 Ride-On Adapter
Thule 532 Ride-On Adapter

Adapter that will enable you to mount up to 2 bike carriers directly to factory-installed crossbars by using 2 smaller Thule load bars and universal mounting hardware

Price: $43.00
Quantity:

  • Universal mounting hardware attaches to factory crossbars for mounting Thule bike mounts
  • 2 bike maximum capacity
  • Check Thule Fit Guide for compatibility

FIT/INSTALLATION TIPS:  When mounting to factory installed crossbars, it is imperative that the crossbars themselves are strong and intact.  Most factory crossbars are not adequate to carry bikes because of the amount of torque put on the crossbars with a tall, heavy load is mouned to the roof.  If you are unsure, please call the shop for advice.

The Ride-On Adapter works well for many applications, but does have some drawbacks, as it makes the bike racks sit about 3" higher, and about 6" towards the middle of the car.  Keep this in mind when mounting on tall SUV's.  This may be a good reason to invest in a multi-sport rack system.
