Lack of support? How long do you expect a company to continue making something that is obsolete? Vehicles are constantly changing and companies that manufacture accessories for them have to change with them. An old rack with square bars probably doesn’t fit with most of today’s rounder, more aerodynamic vehicles. That’s why Thule designed curved aero bars. Mounting points are much different as well. They will only make parts for what they can sell. Simple supply and demand.
Much truth above but....
Whenever you pay the freight for these expensive racks you expect many years of support.
Thule has mounts for the new vehicles, apparently just doesn’t want to be able to adapt them to an older rack. Can’t be that hard. It ain’t rocket surgery!
When I was considering a roof rack for my truck, I found square, round, and wing bars from each of the big name rack makers. But too expensive for my purposes. Truck width made universals not an option.
