Rhino-Rack RS 2500 Roof Rack Installation - 2012 Toyota Prius

Speaker 1: Today on our 2012 Toyota Prius, we're going to be taking a look at the Rhino Rack RS 2500 Roof Rack with Vortex Aero Crossbars in black, part number: RRRS490B. Now they're also available in silver using part number: RRRS490.Here's what our roof-rack system looks like installed on our car. Not only is it going to free up space, allowing us room for passengers and pets, but it's also going to allow us to mount our gear on top of our car and not take up space in the cargo area.Our roof-rack crossbars are going to stop right at the edge of our roof, giving it that nice factory look. Now the crossbars themselves are aluminum construction and they're an elliptical shape, so it's going to cut down on that common associated wind, noise and drag that people have when they think about roof racks.One of the nice features is that the foot packs have a locking core on there. Once we have it secured for our roof, we don't have to worry about any tampering. If we unlock it, we can see the way it's going to mount to our vehicle. more

Thule Traverse Roof Rack Installation - 2013 Toyota Prius- Video

Thule Traverse Roof Rack Installation - 2013 Toyota Prius

Today on our 2013 Toyota Prius, we'll be test fitting the Thule square bar roof rack system, using part numbers THLB50 for the Thule square load bars, part number TH480 for the Thule Traverse roof rack foot pack, and part number THKIT1566 for the Thule roof rack fit kit for the Traverse foot packs. With our roof rack assembled according to the instructions, we'll begin our test fit by opening both doors at the front of our vehicle. We'll grab our front bar and place it onto the front part of our roof. To make sure we have it in the correct location, we need to measure 12-1/4" from the leading edge of the windshield to the closest point on our foot pack. We'll do this for both sides to make sure that our feet are in line with each other. Now we can take the included tool, open up the foot packs, and tighten the Allen bolt with our Allen key. more
