Thule AeroBlade Crossroad Roof Rack Installation - 2013 BMW X5

Today on our 2013 BMW X5 we'll be test fitting the Thule Rapid Crossroads Roof Rack System, part numbers tharb53 and th450r. We'll begin our test fit by placing the front load bar onto the front of our roof. We'll then need to measure from a fixed point on our raised side rails. There's a grooved line here on the raised side rails where we will measure to the first part of our foot.We'll measure this on both the passenger and driver's side of the vehicle to ensure the front load bar is perpendicular to the raised side rails of our X5. We'll then need to measure the overhang of each side of the AeroBlade. We'll do this to ensure the AeroBlade is even on both sides.Once we've established this position and our AeroBlade is even we'll pop off the end caps to bring the rubber-coated steel straps around the underside of the raised side rails. more
