Default How to fit Thule ProRide on my XC60?

Hello,

I recently own an XC60 and have the Volvo roof bars (oval). I also have a Thule ProRide 591 bike carrier system. Thule has two options to attach the bike carrier to the roof bars, the T-track system seems the easiest where you slide rectangular squares in the roofbars itself. However they do not fit in the bars itself (they are too wide). Any suggestions if I can purchase a fitting T-track - like system?

Thanks

Perhaps you could buy them from Thule?

Thule have phased out the oval aero bar. Rectangular or wing are the only options now. I picked up wing bars on Friday.

You'd have to ask a roof rack store whether there were any adaptor packs for what you're trying to do. T-track is def the easiest way to go, only problem being lifting the bike up so high
