Thule 450 Crossroad

I've used the 450 Crossroad for about 10-15 years and have 3 pair. One of my sons has 2 pair. They are awesome. Instead of using the hex wrench that comes with the end cap, I cut a long hex wrench so it is just one straight piece and use it with a power drill. It makes installation and removal a snap. Haven't used the lock cores with these but they make sense if you are in areas where crime is an issue. Like all other Thule products, the quality is first class.

Highly recommended purchase for those looking to attach cross racks to factory side rails. Installation for the Thule 450 CrossRoad took less than 5 minutes - essentially inserting the loadbars into the feet, position onto the side rails and then tighten. I highly recommend purchasing the Thule lock cores together with this safely secure the feet and deter any would-be thieves.

This was so easy to install, and is sturdy. It arrived within 2 days. I got a call within 5 minutes to confirm my order was correct. Which it was not. I was very grateful as it saved me a large amount of money. Kudos!!

Vehicle: 2008 Audi A4 Avant
will the 450 (thule) fit my factory roof rack AND also a 2011 Honda Pilot factory roof rack?

Laurence,

Yes, the Thule 450 Crossroad WILL in fact fit on both of those vehicles. Keep in mind that the Audi requires a minimum of a 50-inch loadbar, whereas the Pilot requires a 58-inch loadbar. So as long as you are okay with the extra 8 inches on top of the Audi, you will be fine. Any other questions, give us a call here at the Boston location, the number is 508 879 1444. Thanks!

Vehicle: 2006 Ford Freestyle
Will the 450 Crossroad work on the above vehicle as well as a 2011 Ford Edge. Both have raised factory installed rails.
Thanks.

Joyce,

Yes the 450 Crossroads towers will fit on both of the vehicles. The 450's are designed for any vehicles with raised side rails. If you have any other questions feel free to give us a call at 508-879-1444.

Thank you
Rack Attack

Vehicle: 2003 saab 95 wagon
I'm changing cars(another saab wagon) how do I get the 450 crossroad off my old car?

Bill,

The outer endcap to the 450 will pop off. That has an allen wrench attached to it, and you can use that to loosen and release the 450 from your factory side rails.

Thanks, Rack Attack Boston
