Rather, the Thule that I have seen fit do so with a sit on top/strap under and 2 bolts on the outside of the bar hiold it all together. Works but not nearly as elegant as the "foot" inside the bar system from BMW. Me, I working on getting some of the "foot" adapters to use with my Thule kayak rack...

If you look around I think there is a post on adapting Thule aero bars to mount to the BMW mounts.

Nice, thanks! I did just pick up a Thule 884 system for use with my kayak on my current Thule rack. Interesting in that my kayak is 3 feet longer than my ti.
