Thule WingBar Edge Roof Rack Installation on a 2025 Honda Pilot
The 2025 Honda Pilot is a family-ready SUV that’s popular for driving in Calgary and weekend adventures in Alberta. With factory-raised rails, it’s rack-ready, but only with the correct components and a vehicle-specific fit. For this installation, our team set up a Thule WingBar Edge system paired with low-profile aerodynamic crossbars. The result is a strong, clean base rack ready for carrying bikes, skis, cargo boxes, kayaks, and more.
Clean, Secure Fit on the Honda Pilot
This Honda Pilot features factory raised roof rails, making it an excellent candidate for a secure and streamlined rack system. Because of this design, the rack system connects directly to the rails using a precision-engineered footpack.
The Thule WingBar Edge system uses vehicle-specific components that clamp securely to the raised rails. Once installed, the crossbars sit low and close to the roofline, delivering a sleek, factory-style appearance while maintaining excellent load capacity and compatibility with a wide range of accessories.

Important Fit Note: Honda Pilot Roof Rail Variations
Some vehicles, including the Honda Pilot, may have variations in roof rail design depending on trim level. The correct rack components depend on whether your vehicle has raised rails or flush rails, and using the wrong setup can affect performance and safety.
