Thule Evo Flush Rail Roof Rack Installation on a 2020 Cadillac Escalade ESV
The 2020 Cadillac Escalade ESV is a full-size luxury SUV designed for family travel, road trips, and hauling gear in all seasons across Alberta. With factory flush-mounted roof rails, it is rack-ready, but requires the correct vehicle-specific components to ensure a proper and secure fit. For this installation, our team set up a Thule Evo Flush Rail roof rack system paired with Thule Evo WingBar crossbars. The result is a clean, low-profile base rack ready for cargo boxes, bikes, skis, and other accessories.
Clean, Secure Fit on the Cadillac Escalade ESV
The Escalade ESV features factory flush rails with integrated mounting points concealed beneath trim covers. This design requires a precise, vehicle-specific fit kit to ensure the rack interfaces correctly with the roof structure.
The Thule Evo Flush Rail system connects directly to these mounting points using engineered hardware. Once installed, the crossbars sit evenly and securely, maintaining the Escalade’s refined appearance while delivering the strength needed for heavier loads.
