Today, one our 2013 Jeep Patriot, we'll be test fitting the Thule Aeroblade Edge roof system for raised factory side rails using part numbers TH7502-TH7502. Now, according to the included instructions, we already went ahead and installed the rubber coated straps. We'll be using slot number three to be hooked to the tab on the inside end of each bar. We'll begin our test fit by placing the front load bar onto the front of our roof. Now, here on the raised rails of our Jeep are indication arrows to help us when selecting the position of the front bar. I'm just going to position the bar right over the indication arrow just to make sure that the front bar is perpendicular to the roof. Then, at a 45 degree angle, we'll be able to position the rubber coated strap to go around the other side of the raised rail making sure the pad of the bar fits nicely onto the rail. more
