Hey guys. Today we have a 2016 GMC Sierra 2500. We're going to do a test fit of the Thule square bar crossbar roof rack system. Now this roof rack system is going to allow you to get any accessories like a bike rack, a kayak carrier, or even a roof basket up on your roof so you can get those accessories on your roof rather than taking up space inside the bed of your truck or even in the cab.Now this roof rack system is made up of a couple of different components. Up top we're going to have our 60 inch square bar crossbars. Now what's different about these crossbars from their old square bars is that rather than having a foot pack that wraps around the top of our square bar to secure it to our roof, we actually do have a channel, just like their aero bars, where we can just slide or Evo clamp feet through there, so it's also going to work, these clamp feet are going to work with our wing bars as well.The square bars are going to be a little bit more noisy up on our roof, as with anything that's going to be mounted to your roof, but sometimes just having that more rugged look, it's going to be a nicer to look for your truck.Now below, kind of the middleman is going to be our Evo clamp feet.
This is what's in this channel of our square bar and what securing it to the fit kit. We'll take off our end cap. When you take a look inside, we see it's got the bracket holding our custom fit hook in place. We have the tightening bolt on the inside right there that's going to secure it to our roof.And then that brings me to down here, we have our custom fit kit for our Sierra 2500. We have the rubber coated hook that's inside our door frame.
And we also have this thick rubber pad that's sitting between the clamp feet and our roof, and both of those rubber coatings and rubber pad is going to help prevent any type of scratches or abrasions from occurring.Now what's different about this hook, how is it secures, is that instead of just sitting right under the door frame, it's actually going to be molded to the inside right here and we're actually gonna have to pull down our weather shipping to get it to hook inside. So that's going to be a bit more secure than just the standard clamp on style where it comes right under that first lip.And when I put my end cap back on, you're going to see that we do have these plastic locks. They can be replaced with Thule lock cores, which are sold separately here at etrailer. You can get those lock cores to give you a roof rack more security. Now I'm going to give you guys a few measurements.
First, we're going to go from the top of our roof to the bottom of our square bar. That's going to be two and three quarters of an inch. So that's more than enough space to get any clamp on accessories, any strap on accessories, under your crossbar without risking damaging the paint job on top of your roof. And also if your Sierra had does have a sunroof, that's more than enough space for that sunroof to be operational without interfering with the square bars. Now from the top of our roof to the top of our square bar, it's going to be three and five eighths inches.
Now that's important to keep in mind for any low clearance situations because you've added that much to your roof.Now like I said, with a square bar system, you are going to have a bit more wind noise and drag, but there is a way around it. You can purchase a Thule air screen fairing, which sits on the front of your front crossbar. That's basically just going to deflect the wind off your roof rack system, improve your wind noise and drag, keep those to a minimum.And also the weight limit for this roof r
