Those that have 2022 Bolts EUV, any suggestions for crossbars that work?
First time I have a vehicle with side rails, and I want to take advantage of it by installing bike rack.

I know the 2022 Bolt EVs no longer have roof rails, so are the older generation (Bolt 2021 and below), the same size as 2022 Bolt EUV roof rails?

The older generation Bolt EV Premier roof rails were really just fixed point mounts. There were bolt holes to attach fixed point mount racks onto. See Yakima Infolookup and the photos.

The Bolt EUV rails may or may not be similar in how racks may be mounted to them.

Look up Thule Aeroblade Edge Flush S (small) , Thule podium fit kit 3168.
You can visit Rack Attack , they fitted an EUV with a Yakima system. Too tall in my opinion.

A related question: my local Thule dealer was going to attach cross rails to my 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV (which which I am in love 😀), but he was having such a difficult time trying to remove the rubber widgets in the side rail that he wasn't sure they came out. It looks like they must, but nobody at my dealer, or at GM, could answer the question -- is it OK to pull at full strength until they pop out? Any experience reports would be appreciated!

It should just be a plastic stopper/plug.

Ended up getting the kit in the RackAttack photo: pair of jetstreams, streamline, and landing pad 19.
The Thule podium kit is sold out everywhere I've looked.

They're threaded! I was able to twist and unscrew them by hand.

Btw finished installing Yakima Jetstream (with Landing Pad 19 and Skyline Towers).

Thank you so much!

How easy (or difficult) was it to install? Any other more affordable suggestions?

Easy, took me an hour to get everything setup.

Has anybody tried these? I'm tempted by the price and the low profile, but suspicious of the strength, especially of the attachments. I sometimes carry kayaks on my vehicles.

Update: Ordered the roof rack total a tad over $60 with shipping and taxes, hope it fits. Will post pics once I get it.

Item arrived, looks nothing like what is on the website. Now website shows out of stock. Looks like they did not have them in stock and the shipping guy just grabbed a random set of bare roof rack bars.

That's too bad! Looks like we'll file this one in the too good to be true category.

I know this isn't related, but what wheels do you have on your Bolt EUV in this photo? I'm waiting on my EUV to arrive and I really don't like the standard wheels it comes with, looking for something in black or very dark gray

A shame they didn’t let me pick my wheels, I like
these 👍

Following this thread with interest. Ideally would love Thule Aeroblade Edge crossbars with a Thule Canyon cargo basket. Thule doesn't seem to be able to give an answer if these crossbars will be available for the EUV at any point. I don't want the Wingbar or anything that has side extension. I don't like the way they look sticking out. Tried Rack Attack but they don't have a solution either.

Anyone having any luck? There's clearly Thule Aeroblade crossbars on the older Bolt models.
