Full details
The Thule 710500 Foot Pack is an essential solution for vehicle owners who need a reliable roof rack base but lack factory-installed rails or fixed attachment points. Designed for ease of use and maximum safety, this clamp-fitting system supports a significant load capacity of up to 75kg, making it perfect for transporting bikes, cargo boxes, or sports gear. While it provides a highly secure foundation, users should note that installation requires careful attention to specific vehicle fitment requirements to ensure paint protection and optimal stability.

FAQs
Does this foot pack fit all vehicles?
No, this is designed for vehicles without fix points. You must use the Thule Fit Guide to find the correct fit kit for your specific vehicle.
Can I leave this on my car all year?
Yes, it is designed for durability, but we recommend removing it if the vehicle will be unused for extended periods to prevent paint marking.
Is the 75kg limit for the foot pack alone?
The 75kg limit is the maximum capacity for the rack system; always check your vehicle manufacturer's roof load limit, as that may be lower.
Does it scratch the car roof?
The feet come with rubberized pads to protect your paint, provided the surface is clean before installation.
Are the locks included?
Yes, this version includes integrated locks to secure the feet to your vehicle.
Troubleshooting
The torque key is not clicking.
Verify that the clamp is properly aligned with the door frame; if it is, keep turning the key slowly until the mechanism reaches the required tension.
The rack feels loose after installation.
Re-check the fit kit instructions to ensure you are using the correct clips for your specific vehicle make and model.
Difficulty inserting the key into the lock.
Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the lock cylinder to clear any dust or grit buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the 710500 involves attaching the feet to your specific Thule bar system and securing them to the vehicle's door frame using a compatible fit kit. Always verify your vehicle model via the Thule Fit Guide before purchase, as this foot pack requires vehicle-specific adapters. To maintain the system, periodically inspect the rubber contact pads for debris that could scratch the paint. If you live in a coastal or snowy area where road salt is common, wipe down the metal clamps with a damp cloth every few months to prevent minor surface corrosion.
