Thule Roof Rack Review - 2017 Kia Soul- Video
Today on our 2017 Kia Soul we're going to be test fitting the Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack System, consisting of part numbers TH7602-TH7602, and these also come in black as part number TH7602B-TH7602B. And part number THKIT3146. The Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack System is great for carrying a wide variety of accessories on your roof rack, and potentially freeing up space in your vehicle. It can carry anything from bike racks, to cargo baskets, to enclosed cargo boxes, and to some water sport carriers such kayaks and canoes as well as ski carriers. The way it installs it has a nice factory style look to it, and at the top here we have these rubber strips, and that coupled with the aerodynamic shape of the bars is going to cut down on wind noise and drag while you're driving. Our end caps here have this plastic piece that can be knocked out and replaced with a Thule lock core system, so once you have this installed it can actually be secured to your roof. Also, if we take off the end cap by peeling this out here you can see it has a T-track, so this roof rack is capable to use T-track accessories. Also this uses fixed points to install onto your vehicle. more

Before we start tightening down we are going to check to make sure the crossbar is overhanging evenly on both sides. We also need to ensure that the crossbar is running perpendicular to our factory raised side rails. To check this we are going to measure from the front end of our side rail to the leading edge of our feet on our Rhino Rack roof rack. We will make sure it is the same on both sides so that we know the crossbar is perpendicular to the side rails. Once we have checked all of our measurements and ensured the crossbar is into position we can go ahead and tighten it down. We will take the included allen key and move back and forth from the passenger side to the driver side tightening down the roof rack systen evenly. This will help ensure that we do not lose our positioning and that we do not have too much tension on one side or the other. As we tighten the allen head bolt our rack base will clamp onto the side rails and it will also lock onto our crossbars. Once we have the front crossbar tightened down we are ready to move to the rear of the vehicle. more
