Product Information

Full details

The Thule Evo Fixpoint Kit 187191 is an essential component for vehicle owners looking to install a secure roof rack system on cars with factory-installed fixpoints. Designed for precision and stability, this kit acts as the interface between your vehicle's specific mounting points and the Thule roof rack system. While it offers a custom, aerodynamic fit that is superior to universal racks, potential users should note that it is vehicle-specific and requires the separate purchase of compatible Thule Evo foot packs and roof bars.

FAQs

Are the roof bars included in this kit?

No, the kit contains only the 4 fixpoint fittings. Roof bars and the foot packs must be purchased separately.

Which foot packs are compatible with this kit?

The kit is designed specifically for the Thule Evo 7107 or Evo Edge 7207 foot packs.

Can I use this on a vehicle without factory fixpoints?

No, this kit is specifically engineered to mount to pre-existing factory fixpoints and cannot be used on vehicles with bare roofs or rails.

How do I know if this is the right kit for my car?

Please visit the official Thule website and use their 'Select your vehicle' fitment guide to verify that kit 187191 is compatible with your specific car.

Is the kit rust-resistant?

Yes, the components are built to withstand outdoor environments, but it is recommended to keep them clean and clear of corrosive road salts.

Troubleshooting

The fitting does not align with the vehicle fixpoint.

Double-check the Thule Fit Guide to ensure you have the correct kit for your exact vehicle year, make, and model.

Rack feels loose after installation.

Check that the foot pack is properly seated in the fixpoint and ensure all mounting bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque.

Plastic covers won't snap on properly.

Ensure the internal metal hardware is flush against the vehicle roof and not obstructed by the rubber seal.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures a custom-fit appearance and superior safety compared to universal racks
  • Integrates seamlessly with high-performance Thule Evo hardware
  • Provides a stable, load-bearing foundation for roof accessories like cargo boxes or bike carriers
  • Easy to install when paired with the correct Thule foot pack

Cons

  • Not compatible with all vehicle models; requires checking official fitment guides
  • Requires additional purchase of foot packs and bars to form a functional rack
  • Lack of versatility if you switch to a vehicle without the same factory fixpoints

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, consult the Thule Fit Guide to confirm your specific vehicle model is compatible with the 187191 kit.

  1. Identify the four factory fixpoint locations on your vehicle roof.
  2. Clean the fixpoint area thoroughly to remove debris that might impede the seal.
  3. Follow the specific instructions provided with your Thule Evo 7107 or Evo Edge 7207 foot packs to attach these fittings.
  4. Ensure all bolts are torqued to the manufacturer's specifications—do not over-tighten.

Regular care involves periodic inspections of the bolts for tightness, especially after long drives or heavy use. Periodically clean the rubber seals of the fittings with a mild soap and water solution to prevent material degradation from road salt or dirt.
