Ok so I picked up a Thule rack system really cheap from a guy, it has the feet to mount on the gutter rails but for the life of me I can't figure it out. Anybody have one of these they could snap a pic off for me? Thule's website is no help and the local dealer didn't have a clue either.

Yeah - you should be able to pick up the right feet from your local REI (maybe EMS out there) - they run about $45 or so.

If that didn't help, write me -- I sold them for a loooooong time.

Here is a pic of my old roof rack. I used Thule gutter feet to mount it.

The piece that is bent into a 'tight C' shape goes on the inside of the gutter.

From the pic it looks like you are using Thules 400 Aero feet, not gutter feet. Not really sure how you would use the Aero feet though.

Anyway, I sell Thule and have for about ten years. The gutter feet aare VERY easy to install. If your still having problems, I'd be happy to help out.

Thanks, I forgot about this thread.. Turns out I was missing some of the parts for the mounts so it was simple to get on once I got all the pieces.
