Can Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack be Used on Either Side of the Vehicle
Question:
Can the TH599000 release mechanism be easily reversed to accomodate which side of the vehicle it is mounted on ? I will need to mount two of them and it will be really helpful if the mechanisms for releasing the front wheel clamps were on the outside of the bikes.

Yes! The front and back parts of the Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack # TH599000 can be easily flipped so that the bike rack can be used on either side of the vehicle. This rack comes assembled aside from the T-Bolts or clamps (depending on what type of roof rack you have) and it is ready to go for the passenger side. I've actually flipped it a few times myself so I can verify personally that it isn't very difficult.
If you jump to page 21 of the linked instructions you can see what this entails. I've also attached a review video I did with the UpRide on the driver's side that you can check out.
