Editorial Product Review:Item Description:The 450 base rack towers clamp on to raised rail factory installed luggage carriers. Add Thule locks and crossbars and you've got a sturdy and versatile multipurpose base rack. Thule's new flexible clamping strap makes the Crossroad strong, secure, and easy to install. The updated styling makes the 450 tower a sweet complement to any vehicle, while an integrated rubber lining ensures that factory rails remain unscathed.
Item Description:The Thule 450 Crossroad Railing-mounted Foot Pack for Car Roof Racks is designed for vehicles with factory rack side rails, and fits more vehicles than any other railing carrier. The Crossroad uses a foot style that complements all vehicles, and is easy to install with just the turn of a handle, no tools required.
The 450 Crossroad feet give you maximum strength and a custom fit via rubber-coated steel straps, and provide for full rail protection with integrated rubber linings. The feet are constructed of galvanized, stamped steel and nylon, and have a black polyester-powder coating that provides vibration damping and protects against slippage. This pack comes with all the necessary zinc-iron plated steel mounting hardware.
The 450 Crossroad Railing-mounted foot pack is compatible with slide-in load bars, weighs six pounds, and can be locked via Thule's One Key System lock cylinders (not included). User's should note that each foot uses five inches of bar space, and requires Thule Load Bars and locks to complete this roof-rack system.
What's in the Box? 4 x 450 Crossroad railing-mount feet, 2 x hardware bags, 4 x handle assemblies, 4 x end caps, and instruction guide

Best Option I've Found
We've been using Thule products on our cars for about 10 years. I like the "square" form factor. Gives a really good + strong fit. This is my first set of 450s and I'm surprising pleased. Like all Thules these are well built and beautifully designed. I had some trepidation about the plastic strap on the bottom [I'm a big fan of the 415s] but these fit securely and are working out nicely. Customer service at Thule is incredible; another great reason for buying their products.

Versatile and sturdy
Works as advertised. Good quality. Can use on a variety of racks so can switch vehicles in future if needed.

Simplicity is a virtue
These rack towers are such a no-brainer that a blind person could mount them by touch. (I hope I did not offend anyone--just making a point.) Some rigs have very wide rails, in particular a two-year model of Forester and of course, the cool looking but inadequate rails on the Xterra. You must consult Thule's Fit Guide. The knob/lock/tightening tool is pure genius. Like all manufacturers, Thule has some hits and some very few misses, but this set-up is a home run. Highly recommended. Just consult their Fit Guide and you'll be racked up in no time.

they are OK
I have only trial mounted the foot on my 06 explorer. It doesnb't seem to fit my wide side rails well and was concerned that they wouldn't work well. I was much more satisfied with rack feet for earlier explorer's. I don' hyave the factory cross rails and was most surprised to learn they cost less than the rack foot pack and should carry the same load.
