Thule Evo Flush Rail Roof Rack Installation on a Chevrolet Trailblazer
The Chevrolet Trailblazer is a compact SUV that’s perfect for daily driving in Calgary and weekend trips to the mountains. With factory flush rails, it’s rack-ready—but only with the right components and vehicle-specific fit kit. For this Trailblazer, Brian from our install team put together a clean, reliable Thule Evo Flush Rail system paired with SquareBar load bars. The result is a solid base rack that’s ready for bikes, skis, cargo boxes, and more.
Clean, Secure Fit on a Chevrolet Trailblazer
This Trailblazer is equipped with factory flush-mounted roof rails. Unlike raised rails, there’s no open gap underneath to clamp around, so the rack system needs to lock into the specific mounting points within the rail channel.
The Thule Evo Flush Rail system uses a vehicle-specific fit kit that interfaces directly with these hidden contact points. Once the kit and feet are installed, the crossbars sit low and level, giving a factory-like look while still offering excellent load capacity.

Important Fit Note: 2020 vs. 2021 Trailblazer Roof Lines
When you’re shopping for a rack system for a Chevrolet Trailblazer, the model year is critical. A rolling change from 2020 to 2021 means older fit kits will not properly fit the newer roof line.
