Thule Rapid 754 WingBar Roof Rack
The Thule GL754 Rapid Fit roof rack with WingBar is an easy to install and versatile roof rack. It has been developed by Thule Sweden to pass the stringent European City Crash tests to 75kg.
The Rapid Fit 754 is designed for vehicles where there are no existing gutters, rails or other factory mounting points to secure racks to. The roof rack uses a built in tensioning mechanism to firmly attach to the roof of the car using vehicle specific attachment brackets. These are contoured to match the roof return into the door openings. To ease fitting, the tensioner incorporates a torque indicator to give you confidence of the correct tightening.
The brackets have a soft, rubberised coating to prevent marks and scratches and a rubber pad is used to cushion the weight between the roof rack and the vehicle roof.
The Thule 754 bars have a wing cross section to reduce drag and noise and the bar incorporates a T-channel for fitting accessories and a rubber buffer strip to cushion the load.
