Today on our 2013 Toyota Corolla, we'll be testing the Swagman Fork Down roof mounted
bike rack, part number s64710. With the truly rapid traverse roof rack system on our vehicle,
we'll begin our test fit by first placing the bike rack up onto the vehicle's load
bars. Starting at the front, we'll take the silver u-bolts to go around the underside
of the front bar, up to the pre-drilled holes of the head of the bike rack. We'll then
take the black wing nuts which we'll thread down onto the silver u-bolts, keeping them
loose at this time. We'll then move to the rear and this time, slide the silver u-bolt
through the predrilled holes of the bike rack and bring the black plate around the underside.
We'll slide it over the u-bolt and then use our black wing nuts to tighten it down.
With all of our hardware in place, we now can tighten them down all the way. With our
bike rack secured, we're ready to load up a bike. We'll loosen up the skewer
to make sure our forks can slide down onto it and well undo the trace trap.
