My Fit is a fresh 2 1/2 months old, and I'm aching to go surfing now that I live near the beach again. Doing some research led me to like the new aero Thule setup. Looking on the official website shows a price of $425 for the pack. From what I've seen, finding them on craigslist is very difficult.
Anyone who has newer Thule kit that they bought new, where did you find it? And if you don't mind, how much did you pay? Thanks very much.

Great, thank you.

Anyone have any opinion on the Thule Aerobar vs the Yakima Whispbar?

 

Sorry, can't help. I bought an Inno rack from ORS. It's a good, lower cost option, but the bars are the same shape as Thule's standard rectangular bars. There's nothing aero about them.

 

Look around at some of the smaller shops. I picked my Thule rack up at a local shop (Syracuse Yacht Sales, DeWitt NY) for less than what the big web sites were charging. The store doesn't even have a website!!

 

I just bought a Thule aero blade setup. Anything above 40 mph it whistles like mad. Thule's fix..."we have never heard of that issue." For this much money you should never have to reengineer a product. I have'nt tried the whispbar but I think I will when I am done with Thule warranty. Btw I actually sell both Thule and Yakima. Updates to follow.

 

This is the kind of personal experience I was hoping to hear.

 

Are you planning to sell your roofrack soon?
