Thule Roof Rack: Sold by Ford?

[mdanda]

Has anyone purchased the Thule roof rack sold by Ford (accessories.ford.com)? Is it any different than Thule roof racks I can purchase from, say, REI or similar? Ford wants $535, which seems pricey. Is the "official" Ford model any better/different?

I don't know the answer specifically but you can order that for about $75 less if you get it from Tasca or Village.

I was just about to post the same question. Interested in answers and feedback and where the best deal is.

Rear trunk mount bike rack from my old car won't fit on the Fiesta so I guess I need roof racks.

I saw one in the showroom when I was searching for my car, it looked to be the model below which has a retail price of $499, but with the slightly older bar style.
