Will the Swagman Roof Mount Bike Rack Fit Curved Crossbars on a 2003 Ford Expedition
Question:
I have a 2003 ford expedition with semi curved roof racks that came with the vehicle. I wasnt sure if this bar would fit on to the roof rack properly.

Expert Reply:
As long as the crossbars on your 2003 Ford Expedition are less than 3-1/8 inches wide and 1-7/8 inches tall then the Swagman roof mount bike rack # S64720 will fit, despite the curve in the bars. You would want the bike rack as much in the middle as you can get it though if you want it to ride straight and not lean over.
To help reach the center of the roof rack I also recommend using a wheel step such as # HE4040.
