Thule Roof Bars

[tommillard81]

Hi everyone,

I noticed on a another thread that Thule have released a roof bar kit for the Mach-E, currently available on their US/Canada sites.

Unfortunately the news doesn’t seem to have made its way to the UK, and thule.co.uk doesn’t allow you to select our car from its vehicle selector.

I enquired with Thule and they said:

“We have no plans at the moment to introduce roofracks for a Mach E in Europe since there is no roof load allowed in Europe for that model Im afraid.”

Does anyone know any more? If you search the UK site for the adaptor part (145284) it returns a result ?‍.

Hi Tom
Did you find anything out about this?
Also are there any other cycle carrying options people are aware of? Thinking boot bike rack etc

I ordered the Thule foot pack kit and put everything together at the weekend. Unfortunately, my aero bars are too short so i've had to order the longer ones. I'm hoping they will arrive this week sometime so once i've got everything together and got my bikes on the roof, i'll post some pictures and all the part numbers etc. Interestingly, even though Thule say they aren't doing the kit for the UK market, the documentation in the Kit box does state Mustang MME. Will update as soon as i've got everything fitted - hopefully at the weekend.

I enquired again with Thule a few days back and they said that it was an error that it was listed on the Uk site and they’ve taken it off now.
Reg, where did you get yours from? It looks legit - think they’re just waiting on UK or Euro approval.

Bought all my stuff directly from Thule.com
I'll wait to make sure everything fits properly before i pass on the part numbers etc. but all looks good so far. I had a set of aero bars for my BMW X3 which i thought would be fine. Unfortunately they are 135's and were too short, so i've ordered a set of 150's.

Still can’t see them on the Thule site, but roofbox.co.uk have them so I might order a set from there later.

What is the Roof load weight capacity? I looked all through the manual and could not find it.

You can get a trailer hitch for a bike rack from forklift central. I am considering it for my Mach E when it arrives.

Hi Reg, I’m looking into ordering the MME now for my new company vehicle, but the whole roof bar thing is stopping me from placing the order right now so I’d be grateful to hear how you get on with your setup. The guy in the Ford dealership was clueless. Regards, Paul

I’ve got everything I need now so intend to get them fitted at the weekend. I’ll upload pictures of the fit and all part numbers etc. as soon as I know it’s all right!
