There is a growing trend of newer model vehicles arriving from the factory with integrated fixed-point rack attachment locations provided. The complete Thule 460 Podium roof rack system is a multi-purpose base rack specifically designed to mount to these fixpoints, delivering the perfect fit for specific car models which results in maximum safety and ease of installation & use. When installed the 460 Podium roof rack system has a sleek, modern appearance with a seamless factory-like fit. Thule Racks has cleverly crafted several different Fit Kit brackets to work with specific vehicle makes & models. The Fit Kit brackets simply mount to the integrated fixed point rack attachment locations on the vehicle (also replacing the factory rack in some instances). Then the Thule 460 Podium Feet, with load bars connected, quickly attach to the Fit Kit brackets and you now have a solid, multi-purpose complete base rack system. You can then attach any gear carriers to the Thule 460 Podium roof rack load bars.
Thule 460 Podium car rack system includes all components necessary for a complete multi-purpose base rack system:
- Four (4) Thule 460 Podium Feet.
- Four (4) Thule Fit Kit brackets (specific to your vehicle; see ordering notes below).
- Two (2) Thule load bars (bar end caps included).
- all mounting hardware.

Super Easy Installation
this Thule 460 Podium Review by eriepaddler
vehicle year/make/model: 2010 Ford Transit Connect
item(s) transported: two sea kayaks
With the included fit kit, the Podiums installed directly into the threaded bolt receivers that were already on the roof of the van. The rack look's as if it came factory installed. Topped with two sets of Hull-a-Port Pro Kayak Racks, I can haul both my sea kayaks.
Thule 460 Podium complete roof rack on 2008 Mazda 3
this Thule 460 Podium Review by Frank
vehicle year/make/model: 2008 Mazda 3
item(s) transported: Carrying a roof box (for camping equipment, snowboards)
This is an awesome, sturdy rack. It screws in the roof (mazda 3), and feels very strong. The only thing preventing me from giving 5 stars is the road noise, but that must be a normal thing with roof racks (except factory racks that are permanently mounted on the car). After the 1st installation, I can take this on and off in about 5 minutes, really nice. I highly recommend this rack.
