Thule Roof Bars

Evening everyone,

just looking to share my experience and see if anyone else has had a similar problem. 
i purchased a set of Thule aerobars and the appropriate feet to fit the 200. However, with the bodywork on the roof being shaped at the front, I have found that the feet at the front have a tendency to edge ever so slightly back and therefore slacken off even more as the roof shape narrows where the feet make contact with the roof. With my cycle carrier on the roof, the left front foot edged enough back that it became loose whilst driving on the M9 last week - fortunately I spotted it.  I tighten them as much as I can but even after a 5 mile journey, they can slacken off a little. I am travelling with my bikes to Birmingham in a few weeks and slightly apprehensive about it given the M9 difficulty.  
maybe it’s just me but wanted to see what others experienced.

Sorry for delay. Not had reason to go far until this weekend. Have tape measure to hand and will see how I get on.

those wingbars stick out at the side, perfectly positioned to whack your head on as you get into or out of the car 😂

the oem lexus 'flushbars' and the thule equivalent dont have that functionality, which is a bonus.

Worked a treat. Down to Stratford Upon Avon with both bikes intact. Cheers.
