The roof of your vehicle is a great place for extra cargo, bikes, kayaks and more. Many
vehicles come with factory installed racks but if yours did not it does not mean you
have to miss out on the fun. Thule believes this as well and has designed after market
racks for many different vehicles. Our video here shows how to install the rack on a VW
Jetta and provides a better idea on what is required no matter what type of vehicle you
have. It is time to get your car, van, SUV, truck decked out and start getting yourself
out there!
Essentially this kit consists of three pieces. First you have your crossbar here, next is
the aero-foot which connects the car and the crossbar, and finally the fit kit. The fit
kit converts the aero-foot to match the type of vehicle you are using whether it be the
Volkswagen we have here or your Ford pickup. Now we will show you how these components
fit together, first off you want to take the fit kit foot and put that on the bottom of
the aero-foot which has a little peg to help you line up everything. It simply fits together
by press fit. Now we can put our aero-foot onto our bar. First we need to pull this cap
off, and then we will just slide it onto the bar. This part here has to be pulled out to
keep it as loose as possible. Now we
will just slide it on, once you have it put on the bar the way you want it, this part needs to be pushed back in by
squeezing these two together.
