You must purchase fit kits for specific cars to make these feet fit. Be very careful of Thule Fit Kits. At least one of them does not fit. I bought the 2171 fit kit for my 2006 Honda Civic. It does NOT fit! Thule will not stand behind their products and let me return the kit. I have another Honda and the kit for that one fits great. So, try and find a review of the specific kit you want to buy before you buy it. Do NOT buy the 2171 kit expecting it to fit a 2006 Honda Civic. IT DOES NOT FIT.

The Thule 400 feet are great if you can find a fit kit that works. But be very careful of Thule Fit Kits. At least one of them does not fit. I bought the 2171 fit kit for my 2006 Honda Civic. It does NOT fit! Thule will not stand behind their products and let me return the kit. I have another Honda and the kit for that one fits great.

Be warned that if you have a 2004-2007 style Toyota Prius, this is a nightmare to install. There are multiple steps that simply are impossible to perform without improvising. Unless you are extremely handy or can have this professionally installed, I would avoid this for a Prius. I did finally get mine successfully installed, but it took 3 days and lots of problem solving when the steps in the instructions were either unclear or physically impossible. What a nightmare.

Great product, easy to install. Thule was extremely helpful in answering my questions and concerns regarding an install on a 2008 Nissan Altima. And Amazon.com helped in saving me money on my purchases.

I just installed the Thule 400XT rack — the original estimate of half an hour though was greatly off the mark. It took me about 2 and a half hours to install the first time. However, one I learned from my mistakes, it was a lot easier to install.
The general difficulty I had was very fine tolerance the parts have in attaching them to my ‘01 Prius. For example, I had to load bars initially upside down (grip side down) which made a big difference in trying to do the initial lock with the tensioning cam (still required a lot of force though). Also, there was little extra leeway on the screws to attach the fit kit to the feet. Lastly, setting the final tabs in place took a while until I realized I could just get a plastic card and push them in while shutting the assembly. After all these hickups, I know how to set it up a lot faster. Othewise, solid construction and it doesn’t look like it will move anytime soon.
