Are you looking for the roof rails, the crossbars, or both.

The roof rails are what runs along the sides of the vechile. (Front to back)
The cross bars are what run in between the rails.

roach,
Do you know where the best place to get these are. Should I order them right from Thule, or is there another site that might have them cheaper.

I have done some Googling, but haven't find any good prices.

Has anyone used/have feedback on:

It includes the bars, feet, and 4 locks. It's about $230 on amazon.

Really good setup I've been using mine on my XLS since august 2007. I've been using Thule Roof rack for the past 10 years and never had problem.

The 50" bars seem a little long to me. The rails are about 38" apart. I know you have to have a little extra for the feet to attach to.

How long is your bar roach?

I have the 50'' and I would not go any shorter as you barely have room at the end with the foot pack in place! Thule measures the width of the vehicle and that's how they figure out what bar go with the vehicle.

I just ordered the Thule 45050 from streetsideauto.com.

They had it listed for $207, with free shipping. I also found a coupon code for 10% off.

Total price with shipping: $187.16
Not bad for 4 feet, the cross bars, and locks.

They have very good reviews from Google shopping and pricegrabber.

The coupon code I used was "performance" incase anyone else is interested.
