These bars are strong and look great with our new truck. The Thule brackets and fit kit were far mor difficult than they needed to be, but these bars are much quieter than the square bars.

Ordered the Thule Fit Kit for my 2000 Mercedes E430 Sport. Had a little trouble getting the kit installed w/ the Thule RB47 Rapid Aero Aluminum Roof Rack Load Bars and Thule 400XTR Aero Rapid Roof Rack Foot Pack, it was a bit of a struggle getting the screws locked in, since I was performing the install directly on the car roof. Once I took all the pieces off, connected the fit kit to the load bars and fit kit off of the car and then loaded all the pieces together it worked. I need to buy the Thule skirt so that it blocks out the wind noise while driving. While driving there are no issues - at around 75-80mph I had no issues.

Bars are sleek, light, strong, and look good. However, they come without the end caps, which are part of a separate "fit kit". Endcaps are another $10+. It's like getting a pair of sneakers without the laces.
