Thule Traverse Roof Rack Installation - 2014 Chevrolet Malibu- Video
Today on our 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, we're going to test fitting the Thule Traverse Roof Rack System, using part number THLB50, TH480, and THKIT1684. With our Roof Rack assembled according to the manufacturer's instructions we're going to begin our test fit by opening the front doors on our Malibu and placing the front half of our rack and the front half on the front half of our roof line. For Thule's fit guide will measure back from the windshield nine and a half inches to the leading edge of our Foot Pack. Will do this measurement on both sides to be sure we have our feet in line with each other. Once we have our measurement done on both sides and our feet are in line with each other, will go back and forth from one side to the other and tighten a little bit of the time until we have our rack secure. With the front secure we can close our front doors and then will move to the rear. Here will open the doors, grab the rear half of our rack, place it on the rear half of our roof line and the Thule feet guide measurement here is going to be twenty five and five eight seven inch from the center of the front Foot Pack to the enter of the Rear Foot Pack. more
