Today on our 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt Two-Door, we'll be test fitting a Rhino Rack Roof Rack
System. We'll be using the DA118 Bars and the fit kit for our vehicle is part number
DK182. Now, the bars are also available in black and that's part number DA118B. We've
already got our roof rack assembled according to the instructions and now we're ready to
fit it up on the vehicle. First thing we need to do is open our doors. We'll take our front
bar assembly and set it up on top of our roof. To position it correctly, we need to measure
from the seam where our door meets the body at the back to the center of the front bar,
and we need to set this measurement at 700 mm or 27-9/16 inches. Once we had the front
bar in position, we'll use the included tool to tighten down the adjustment bolts, making
sure that we have the clips fitted properly against the frame of our door. Now, we'll
grab our rear bar and set it up on top of the roof. To position the rear bar properly,
we'll measure from the center of the front bar to the center of the rear bar and set
this measurement at 550 mm. This measurement is known as the crossbar spread and is a useful
piece of information to have when shopping
for accessories.
