This exclusive design offers discerning customers premium styling and sleek good looks! There is a growing trend of newer model vehicles arriving from the factory with integrated fixed point rack attachment locations provided. The complete Thule 460R Rapid Podium roof rack system is 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 460R Rapid 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 460R Rapid Podium Feet, with Rapid Aero 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 460R Rapid Podium roof rack load bars. We highly recommend a four pack of Thule Locks (not included; see accessory add-ons below) to lock the rack to vehicle.
Thule 460R Rapid Podium car rack system includes all components necessary for a complete multi-purpose base rack system:
- Four (4) Thule 460R Rapid Podium Feet.
- Four (4) Thule Fit Kit brackets (specific to your vehicle; see ordering notes below).
- Two (2) Thule Rapid Aero load bars (bar end caps included).

The Thule 460R Rapid Podium foot pack is designed to work exclusively with the super strong Thule Rapid Aero load bars, creating a seemlessly integrated sleek look. Thule 460R Rapid Podium Foot Pack uses the exact same existing Thule Fit Kit brackets that work with the regular 460 Podium Foot Pack. Can be locked to vehicle rooftop using a 4-pack of Thule Locks (not included; see accessory add-ons below). This is a very user-friendly roof rack system that's very easy to install. Easy-to-follow Thule 460R Rapid Podium instructions manual included. Thule Racks Lifetime Warranty!
