Today on our 2014 Volkswagen Jetta, we'll be test fitting the Thule Rapid Traverse roof
rack system, using part numbers THARB53, TH480R and THKIT1618. We'll begin our test fit
by placing the front load bar onto the front of our roof. We'll then need to measure
10 inches from the front part of the glass to the first part of the foot pack. Making
this measurement on both sides will ensure that the front load bar is perpendicular to
the roof of our Jetta. Once we have established this position, we'll lift up the cover
and use the included tensioning tool to tighten down the clips up against the roof line. We'll
then repeat the same process for the other side. Once the front bar is all tightened
down and secured, we'll go ahead and place the rubber seals into the seals of the door.
We'll then repeat the same process for the other side. With this done, we'll
go ahead and place the rear bar onto the rear
of
our roof.
