GMC Acadia Roof Bike Racks Installation And Review Videos

Kuat TRIO Roof Bike Rack Review - 2012 GMC Acadia- Video

Today on our 2012 GMC Acadia we'll be test fitting the Kuat Trio roof-mounted bike rack, part number RU01. With a Thule Rapid Crossroads roof rack system installed onto our Acadia, we'll begin our test fit by placing the bike rack up onto the vehicle's load bars. We'll start at the rear and remove one of the black wing nuts. This will allow us to position the rubber-coated black bracket around the underside of the rear bar. We'll insert the bolt through the hole of the bracket and then reinstall our black wing nut, keeping it loose. We'll now move up to the front and take our rubber-coated steel u-bolts to go around the underside of the front bar, up through the pre-drilled holes at the head of the carrier. We'll then take our cylinder nuts to thread down onto the u-bolt. more
