Today on our 2011 Volkswagen Routan, well be test fitting the RockyMounts TieRod Stretch,
Roof-Mounted Mountain Bike Carrier, Part Number RKY1011. Our Routan already has a factory
installed roof rack system, so were going to begin by placing our carrier directly on
top of our factory crossbars.At the front part of our carrier, now we can remove the
front cover and place our straps into position then we can use an allen key to tighten them
into place. Now, were ready to reinstall our cover. Once we have the front part of our
carrier secured to our crossbar, we can the move to the rear of the carrier and put the
clamp around our rear crossbar.Well make sure our bolts are set then well use an allen key
to tighten down our bolts and secure the rear part of our carrier to our rear crossbar.
Now, well go ahead and make sure that the wheel strap and the rear is undone and that
our skewer at the front is open.Well grab our bike, place the rear wheel on to the wheel
tray and drop our front fork down into the skewer. Well secure it first by the skewer
and then move to the rear and secure with a wheel strap.
