Wing roof bars/Thule Roof box
Hi All,
Does anyone know if the Volvo wing style roof bars are compatible with the 'pincer grips' used on the more recent Thule roofboxes? Regards, 2005 XC90 D5 SE Rica |

Yes
I have a 2008 XC90 Rica! with the aero roof bars plus Thule Atlantis 900 jobbie which has the power grips things, and it all works fine at 95mph down to the South of france.

Thanks ckp. Just to be sure - when you say aero bars, do you mean the wide/flat profile Volvo bars (the 'wing' bars), or the more conventional Thule 'aero' bars?
Sorry to be pedantic. Regards, |

It's the Volvo 'aero bar' when I bought it, but they are not totally flat as they have a slight curve on them. The thule underside is totally flat, but still sits well on the aero bars.
I can't work out how to add a pic. but if you look at the volvo website, it's the one they call 'Silver cross bars' |

ckp,
Thanks very much for the clarification - that's exactly what I had in mind. I'll be off to the parts dept then ... Regards, Last edited by theonlyone; Mar 11th, 2009 at 22:02. |
