Today on our 2013 Volkswagen Passat, we'll be test fitting the Thule Moab, also known
as the "Mother of all Baskets," part number TH690XT. Now with the roof rack
system already assembled onto our vehicle, we'll begin our test fit by placing the
cargo basket onto the vehicle's cross bars. For today's demonstration, we'll
make sure the basket is centered onto the vehicle's cross bars. Note, this basket
does not have to be centered, as you can carry other roof rack accessories as well as the
basket at the same time. One our cargo basket is centered onto the vehicle, we can loosen
up the brackets to bring the black bracket on the underside of the vehicle's cross
bars. We'll then thread the bolt through the brackets and use the gray wing nuts to
tighten it down to secure the cargo basket to the vehicle.
