Yakima Roof Rack Review - 2010 Jeep Patriot- Video
Today on our 2010 Jeep Patriot we're going to be test fitting the Yakima RailGrab roof rack system. We're using the 48" round bars - those are part number Y00408 - and the Yakima RailGrab foot pack system. Its part number is Y00138. Now the RailGrab system is designed with a nice rubber protective cover here that allows that to grip onto the rail as the angled bracket portion comes in and what they call RailGrab or grabs around the rail to secure it. This also has a nice scratch-resistant finish to it so it's not going to do any damage to those side rails. Now we've already got the rear bar installed on the vehicle so we'll begin our test fit by placing the front bar up here onto the front roof line of the vehicle. Now as we install these we want to find a fixed point to use for reference. In our case Jeep was nice enough to put some little marks and arrows all the way down the length of the side rails here. more

Today on our 2010 Jeep Patriot we're going to be test fitting the Thule Crossroads roof rack system. We're using the 50" square bars - that part number is THLB50 - and the Crossroads foot pack system. That part number is TH450.

To start we just place the roof rack up here on the front roof line of our vehicle. Now we need to find a fixed point to use for a measurement point or a point to where we're going to set our foot pack. On the Jeep here we've got some small notches that are in the side of the side rails as well as some arrows. more

Thule Roof Rack Review - 2010 Jeep Patriot THARB47- Video
Today, on our 2010 Jeep Patriot, we're going to be test-fitting the Thule Rapid Crossroads Roof Rack System. We're using the 47-inch arrow blades, that's part number THARB47, and the Rapid Crossroads Foot Pack, part number TH450R. We already installed the rear bar on the vehicle, so we want to finish up our install by showing you how this front bar is going to go on. To start, we're simply going to place it up here on the front roof line of the vehicle. We're going to bring the black rubber-coated metal straps around the underside. We need to do this on both sides, so our bar's sitting pretty square. Now, as we put this on our vehicle, we want to be sure that we have equal bar overhang on both sides, and that we're using a fixed point. In our case, Jeeps have a couple notches here, as well as an arrow. more
