Thule Evo Clamp Roof Rack Installation on a 2012 Ford Focus
The 2012 Ford Focus is a practical compact hatchback that is well suited to daily driving in Calgary and weekend adventures throughout Alberta. With a bare roof, it requires a vehicle specific clamp system to create a secure roof rack. For this installation, our team set up a Thule Evo Clamp Roof Rack System with Thule Evo WingBar 135 crossbars and topped it off with a Thule Pulse 2 L cargo box. The result is a clean, secure roof rack that adds valuable cargo space for camping, skiing, road trips, and family adventures.
Clean, Secure Fit on the 2012 Ford Focus
The 2012 Ford Focus features a bare roof with fixed door frame mounting locations that require a vehicle specific clamp system. Because of this design, the roof rack must use the correct fit kit to ensure a secure connection and proper load distribution.
The Thule Evo Clamp system paired with the Thule Fit Kit provides a precise fit for this generation of Ford Focus. The aerodynamic Thule Evo WingBar crossbars reduce wind noise while providing a strong platform for carrying the Thule Pulse 2 cargo box.

Important Fit Note: Bare Roof Ford Focus Models Require the Correct Fit Kit
Some Ford Focus model years and body styles use different roof dimensions and clamp locations. The correct Thule Fit Kit is specific to the exact model year and body style. Using an incorrect fit kit can result in poor performance and an improper fit.
