Today in this 2012 Volkswagen Jetta, we're going to install the Rhino Rack Roof System
with Aero bars, product number DA11A and DK306. I've already got my bars set up and measured
out, ready to go. Let's go ahead and install it on the vehicle and see what it looks like.
First, we'll open up the front doors and install the front bar. Ok, before we can tighten down
our car rack, we're going to need to measure out 10 and a quarter inches from the edge
of the door frame to the center of our foot pack of our front crossbar, and then we'll
go ahead and tighten them down. And tightening down your crossbar is going to be a two-step
process. First, on the driver side, I'm going to take
up the slack in the clamp and start to tighten it down, then I'll move over to the passenger
side, take up the slack, and tighten it down fully and then go back to the driver side
and complete tightening it. This way, when you tighten it down, you won't pull the bar
all the way too far to one side or the other. Now with the front crossbar tightened down,
we'll go ahead and install the rear bar. The rear bar is going to set 27 and 9/16 inches
from the center of the front bar to the center of the rear bar. Alright.
