For a look that moves well beyond the humdrum same old run of the mill roof rack with square cross bars, check out this customer installation photo that features a 2008 Toyota Corolla kayak-bike roof rack system with modern, aerodynamic design styling. It is configured with the Thule 480R Rapid Traverse car rack system, which attaches to the 2008 Toyota Corolla S rooftop using the set of included Thule 1515 Traverse Fit Kit clips (a pair of Thule Racks Rapid Aero load bars and 480R Rapid Traverse Foot Pack are also included). And for the perfect best-in-class kayak carrier and bike carrier to mount onto the load bars, the Thule 518 Echelon fork mount bike rack and Thule 835PRO Hull-a-Port folding j-cradle kayak rack are used. Also, for increased aerodynamics, elimination of rack noise and superb design styling, a Thule 871XT rack fairing is also attached to the front load bar.

 The Thule 400XT base rack system installed on this Audi A4 adds a sporty flair to this fine vehicle, but its main purpose, of course, is carrying a bicycle on the roof.  The Thule 518 Echelon does a great job of that and is in fact Thule’s most secure roof top bike carrier.
