🌧️ Enhance Rain Protection with Thule 542 Artificial Raingutters for Thule 300, 387, and 953 Gutter Feet Review

Works great with Yakima A1 Towers. Unlike expensive Yakima mounts, these have a stunning design that allows for top mounting.

Screwed these onto the top of my cargo trailer so I could mount my Yakima A-1 legs and bars with cargo box on top of the trailer. Nice thick quality aluminum provides secure attachment points.

I sold my first truck with Thule rails and they have worked great for 20 years with no rust, corrosion or anything. They hold up very well. I took another truck and put them on. This time I made the holes a bit larger to allow for fine adjustment. They're very expensive for what they are, but they work as they should.

DO NOT buy for trailer. Trace the seams well and connect them to my Thule and Yakama gutter brackets. I bought an application for the trailer and without a complete overhaul it will not work. Fasteners must be set at an angle of approximately 60 degrees for proper operation. Hardware too short, metric and painted metal. Doesn't last outside. Thule offer To mount on a Thule trailer, screws must be placed under the rail to adjust the angle. In this case, no angle is required.

Provides an artificial drain for my 2015 aluminum body F-150. I drilled holes in the roof and drilled the threads on a special machine. The work was carried out at a local body shop. It's important to hire a body shop as they will know where to drill to get into the supports. Local Ford dealers most (if not all) don't do these types of repairs and don't know exactly where the props are located. The body shop made 2 threaded holes on each side with the required spacing for the artificial gutter.
