Default Thule Rack Feet and Fit kit part numbers?? (I did STFA)

I saw lots of posts of folks have Thule racks, but I didn't see anyone mention what fit kit or specific feet you need to order.

My wife has a 2-year old Thule rack that I want to use so don't try and talk me into Yakima or anything. I can use her bike mounts and the cross bars, I just need the feet to fit right.

Does anyone know the correct parts?

Yakima's site had an interactive fitment chart...does Thule have anything similar?

Default sort of - I dont trust them

They want to sell me the whole system and I just want the feet...or maybe just the fit kit if the old feet will work.

Default I just found out that Thule has a higher weight limit than Yakima (165 to 100 lbs)

I have the full Yakima setup for my Passat, and was thinking about the Yakima Rocketbox, until I found out the RB doesn't fit the A6 sedan. Also, Thule has the higher weight limit, which I was told is due to their rack design. So, I'll likely buy one of the Thule boxes to fit over the Yakima rack.

Did you try the Thule website? Otherwise Rei.com might work too.

Default yes, you should just need the 2026 fit kit (contains the rubber blocks and clamps only)

if you already have the 400xt feet
