2012 Nissan Xterra Roof Rack Installation And Review Videos

Thule AeroBlade Crossroad Roof Rack Installation - 2012 Nissan Xterra- Video

Today on our 2012 Nissan Xterra, we'll be test fitting the Thule Rapid Crossroad Roof Rack system using part numbers THARB43 and TH450R. With our roof rack system assembled according to the instructions, we'll begin our test fit by placing our front load bar onto the front part of our side rails. We'll find fixed point on each side rail to line up our feet. That way, we can make sure that they're in line with each other. Once we have them in line, we can then bring the strap around our bar, fit it back into the foot of the carrier, and use the included tool to tighten it down. Once we have it secure, we can slide the tool back into the foot pack and move to the other side and repeat the same process. We'll grab our rear bar and place it onto the rear part of our side rails. We want to make sure that our bars are going to be parallel, so we need to set a load bar spread and have a minimum of 24 inches. We'll measure from the center of the front bar to the center of the rear bar. more

Thule Crossroad Roof Rack Installation - 2012 Nissan Xterra- Video

Today on our 2012 Nissan Xterra we'll be test fitting the Thule Crossroad Roof Rack System. We'll be using part numbers THLB50 and part number TH450. With our roof rack assembled according to the instructions we'll begin our test fit by placing our front bar on to the front part of our roof. You'll want to find a fixed point on the side rail to set up your foot pack. You'll do this on both sides to ensure that your feet are straight across from each other. If you don't have a fixed point on your side rail you can simply get them lined up by taking a measurement. Here on the passenger side we'll bring our strap around our bar, fit it back into the foot pack and tighten down the Allen bolt with the included tool to secure our strap around our bar. Once we've got that tight we can slide the tool back into the foot pack and repeat that process for the other side. more
