Thule Traverse Roof Rack Installation - 2013 Volkswagen Passat- Video
Today on our 2013 Volkswagen Passat, we'll be test fitting the Thule Square Bar roof racking system, part numbers THLB58, TH480, and THKIT1669. Now with our load bars, feet, and fit kit assembled according to the instructions, we'll start off by placing the front load bar onto the vehicle. We'll then need to measure from the front part of the glass to the first part of the foot on both the driver's side and passenger side of the vehicle. Now according to the instructions, we'll need to measure 10-5/8". We'll measure this again on both the passenger and driver side of the vehicle. Once we've established this measurement, we'll use the included torque tensioning tool to tighten down both feet to secure it to the vehicle. more
