How To Use Malone DownLoader On Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack
Question:
Bought these to fit my Thule Xsporter Pro 500xt rack, but the bolts are not long enough to secure to the bars. I also bought MPG8287 to use the T-SLOT, but the nuts in this kit are too thick to fit into the slot on the bar. What solutions do you have to fit these on my Xsporter Pro racks?

Expert Reply:
In order to mount the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier part # MPG114MD on a Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH500XT, I recommend the Truck Rack Crossbar T-Slot Fit Kit for Malone Kayak Carriers part # MPG8287.
