The complete Thule 450 CrossRoad roof rack system is a multi-purpose base rack system that attaches to factory installed raised side rails (the two bars located on both sides of the roof that run parallel to each other from the front to back of the roof). A rock solid, dependable Thule all-purpose load carrier that includes cross bars. Easy to install and remove with the turn of a handle - the only tool required for mounting and removal of the roof rack is the included tightening tool integrated into the handle that stores right inside the 450 Foot! We highly recommend a four pack of Thule Locks (not included; see accessory add-ons below) to lock the rack to vehicle.
The complete Thule 450 Crossroad roof rack system includes all 2 components that are necessary for installing a general-purpose base rack on your vehicle's roof top, providing the platform that will allow you to then connect roof mount gear carriers that carry your gear and equipment:

- Two (2) Thule Load bars (bar end caps included).
The Thule 450 CrossRoad fits virtually all vehicles with raised factory side rails. Maximum rack strength and custom fit provided by rubber coated steel clamping strap. Full siderail protection with integrated rubber lining. Modern, aerodynamic and stylish design of the Thule Cross Road Feet complements all vehicles. Easy to install and remove with the turn of a handle - the only tool required for mounting and removal of the roof rack is the included tightening tool integrated into the handle that stores right inside the 450 Foot! Can be locked in place using a four pack of Thule Racks One Key System lock cylinders (not included; see accessory add-ons below). Easy-to-follow instructions manual included. Thule Racks Lifetime Warranty!

Very easy to install on the factory rails. I also bought a Thule cargo box for the roof. Makes for easy extra storage.
The Best Rack for Side Rails!
this Thule 450 CrossRoad review by 4thetrees
vehicle year/make/model: 2008 Toyota Sienna
item(s) transported: bikes for family of 4
When my oldest son decided mountain biking was HIS thing, how could we say anything other than 'we'll join you!" So now our entire family takes weekend trips all over the place finding trails the kids scope out ahead of time on the 'net. There was no way we would fit all the bikes inside our Sienna minivan though. The Thule 450 Cross Road was necessary for the Sienna because it only has the side rails on the car top, no cross bars to attach bike racks to. I can't believe how easy it is to put these on! We got the package and just couldn't wait for my husband to get home to install them. So I gave it a whirl. Oh my, all you do is attach the bars to the 450 Cross Road Feet and then clamp the Feet onto the siderails using the straps that wrap around the bars. You then use the handy wrench (which stores right inside each Foot, how cool is that?!?!) to tighten down the strap and that's all there is to it. We have 4 Thule 599XTR bike racks mounted to the Cross Road bars. What a great setup for carrying all our bikes!. I highly recommend the Cross Road to anyone with factory rack side rails.
Very Durable & Quick to Install
this Thule 450 CrossRoad review by homebrew
vehicle year/make/model: 2006 Mazda 6 wagon
item(s) transported: luggage, kayaks, skis
It might take you longer to read this sentence than it does to mount the Thule 450 CrossRoad car rack to your factory rails. Seriously, I was blown away with how quickly I had this rack mounted on the car. It's also very durable and well-constructed. You should definitely do your homework and use the Thule Fit Guide to find out what size load bars you need. This will give the rack a very slick and tight appearance. It would be a shame to have this very modern looking carrack on your roof top and have bars that are too long sticking way out over the sides. All the Thule gear carriers attach very nicely to the 450 Crossroad load bars too. I use a roof box and j-cradle kayak rack during the summer and then use the roof box to carry skis in the winter.

Product Videos
ORS Racks Direct Demonstration Video & Review featuring the Thule 450 CrossRoad roof rack system. Movie includes Thule Racks 450 review, product demo, high-end features etc. This car rack system easily installs to virtually all vehicle factory rack side rails. So easy to mount it takes just 5 minutes. Each of the four Thule 450 Cross Road Feet quickly clamp onto siderail using the rubber coated steel strap for a very tight and secure connection that won't impact the siderail finish. Can conveniently switch over to any other vehicle with factory roof rack side rails if necesssary. Uses the classic Thule square load bars for a very clean look that provides a very strong foundation to attach any Thule roof mount gear carriers. Optionally locks to the factory rails using a 4 pack of Thule Locks. Thule Racks lifetime warranty.
