The Thule 487 Traverse Short Roof Adapter Kit is one component of a complete roof rack base system and works in combination with the Thule 480 Traverse car rack and Thule 480R Rapid Traverse roof rack by making them adaptable to certain cars with 2 doors and other hard to fit cars, minivans and pickup trucks with dramatically curved rooftops, short roof lines etc. The Thule 487 Short Roof Adaptor integrates with either the Thule 480 Traverse roof rack system or Thule 480R Rapid Traverse car rack system to extend the cross bar spread between the front and rear base rack system load bars. This increase in distance between the front and rear cross bars allows you to then safely mount any Thule roof mount gear carriers onto the rack bars to carry all types of gear, even long loads such as ladders, lumber, canoe, kayaks etc. We recommend using our handy Thule Racks automated fit guide (see below) to determine if your car, pickup truck or minivan requires the Thule 487 short roof adapter.
