Full details
The Thule 5213 Evo Clamp Fitting Kit is designed for vehicle owners who need to mount a Thule roof rack system on cars lacking factory roof rails or pre-existing attachment points. It provides a secure, custom-engineered foundation for your cargo carriers or sports racks, ensuring vehicle safety and load stability. While it offers an exceptionally tight fit, users must note that it is model-specific and requires precise installation to ensure paint protection and load integrity.

FAQs
Can I use this kit on a different vehicle model?
No. The 5213 kit is engineered specifically for certain roof geometries and is not interchangeable with other vehicle models.
Does this kit include the entire roof rack system?
No, this is a fitting kit. You will also need to purchase the appropriate Thule Evo foot pack and roof bars.
Will the clamps damage my car's paint?
The kit is designed with protective pads at contact points to prevent damage, provided the surface is clean and the kit is installed correctly.
How long is the warranty?
All Thule products, including fitting kits, are backed by a 5-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
Where can I find my vehicle's compatibility?
Please use the official Thule online buyers' guide on their website to verify the correct part for your specific vehicle.
Troubleshooting
Rack feels loose after installation
Verify that all clamps are correctly seated against the door frame and re-tighten the bolts to the recommended torque specification.
Visible gaps between clamp and roof
Double-check the Thule fit guide to ensure you have the correct fitting kit model for your specific vehicle configuration.
Difficulty closing vehicle doors
Ensure the bracket is seated in the exact position indicated in the manual; minor adjustments to the horizontal placement can often resolve clearance issues.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, consult the Thule online buyers' guide to confirm that the 5213 kit is the correct match for your specific vehicle make, model, and year. To install, clean the roof and door frame areas thoroughly to remove debris that could cause scratches. Position the brackets according to the provided manual, ensuring the rubber pads are seated correctly. Regularly inspect the bolts for tightness, especially after long road trips, and clean the rubber contact pads with mild soap and water to prevent dirt buildup that can degrade the surface of the car roof over time.
