Yes please. I'm trying to figure out if my Thule cross bars will fit.

53" bars are just right. 48" might fit. 50-58" will.

There are several threads here on the subject.

My crossbars measure 50 inch long, so I might be a little short.

Your car's on order? You can take em down you your dealer's lot to check.

I estimate the thule mount gap is about 44" on center. The rail tracks are 46" but the factory rails rise 3" and curve inward.

I highly recommend Thule crossbars over factory.

While the factory crossbars look better naked, your bike sits at an angle due the curvature of the bars. The Thule bars are straight.
