Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars Installation - 2014 Jeep Patriot- Video

Today on our 2014 Jeep Patriot, we're going to be doing a test fit on the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack system. The Thule WingBar Evo roof rack system is going to allow us to carry roof mount accessories on our Jeep Patriot, things like bike racks, kayak carriers, roof mounted cargo boxes, and much more. You can pick up this roof rack with either 47 inch black or silver bars. See etrailer.com.With this system, it's going to work with your standard clamp on accessories, as well as your T-slot accessories. The nice thing about this is we don't have to trim or remove that strip, that T-bolt just slides on down the bar to your desired location. Then we can fold that end cap back over, and that's going to prevent anyone from sliding it off. more
