With our roof rack preassembled to the directions found within the fit kit, we're ready to go ahead and fit it to the vehicle.We'll begin by setting the front crossbar on top of the roof, we will take a measurement from the top of the windshield back on the roof 27-1/2". This will be the location of the leading edge of our front crossbar feet.With our front crossbar in the correct location, we'll go ahead and open the doors as the roof rack system does clamp to the door openings. After making sure that our clamps will clamp on to the door opening, we can go ahead and tighten them down using the included torque tool within each foot and with our front load bar secured, we're now ready to move on to the rear load bar.Again, we'll set on top of the roof this time our measurement will be from the center of the front crossbar to the center of the rear crossbar. This will make our crossbar spread 27-1/2" which is the ideal location as seated by Thule. With our rear crossbar located in the correct position, we can go ahead and torque it down using the same procedure as we did with our front load bar. more

Rhino Rack Roof Rack Installation - 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan- Video

Our Grand Caravan has factory side rails, so we are going to be using a system that will attach to these. We already have our crossbars put together, and now we are ready to mount them up on the vehicle. When we mount our front crossbar we need to make sure of 2 things. One that the crossbar is over hanging evenly on both sides of the vehicle and 2 that it runs perpendicular to our side rails. We will measure from a fixed point to a leading edge of the clamp on both sides of the vehicle to make sure the measurements the same so we know that we are perpendicular. more
