Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Roof Rack Installation - 2010 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen

Today on our 2010 Volkswagen Jetta Sport Wagon we'll be doing a test fit of the Rhino Rack SX Series Leg Kit with the Vortex Aero crossbars. These are part numbers RRSX004 and RRVA118B-2. We'll begin our test fit by placing the front crossbar onto the front of our roof. Now there's a small slot in the side rail where the parallel bars connection down to the piece which anchors to the roof. I'm going to use that as a location mark to where we're going to place the feet on both the passenger and driver side of the vehicle. Once we have the front bar in place i'm going to use the included tightening tool to tighten down the silver bolt on the inside of the bar, which will bring the two clamps together tightly around the side rail. more

Thule AeroBlade Crossroad Roof Rack Installation - 2011 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen

Today, on our 2011 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen, we'll be test fitting the Thule Aeroblade Crossroad Roof Rack System, using part numbers THARB47 and TH450R. With our vehicle already equipped with the factory roof rails and our load bars already pre-assembled, we're going to go ahead and fit them to the vehicle. We'll begin by setting the front load bar on top of the vehicle. We need to go ahead and center it from left to right to ensure that the triangles on each foot are over the side rails. You do need to make sure that your load bar is square. To do this, find a fixed point on the side rails and measure to the foot with a tape measure. more

Thule Crossroad Roof Rack Installation - 2010 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen

Today on this 2010 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagon, we'll be installing a Thule Crossroads Roof Rack System. We already have our crossbar assemblies put together so we're ready to mount them up on the factory rate side rails. First, we're going to set the front crossbar into position. We're going to make sure that the bar is overhanging the feet evenly on both sides of the rack. We also need to make sure that the bar is running perpendicular to factory rate side rails so we're going to find a fixed point on our side rails and measure to the edge of the Crossroads to make sure that we're even on both sides so that we know that we're running perpendicular. One the side of the Crossroad feet, there's a small triangle that indicates the center of the foot and we want to make sure that that's pointed towards the center of our factory rate side rails. more

Thule AeroBlade Crossroad Roof Rack Installation - 2010 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen

Today on this 2010 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagon, we're going to be installing a Thule Crossroad and AeroBlade Roof Rack System. We already have our crossbar assemblies put together and now we're ready to mount them up on our vehicle. First, we're going to install the crossbar assemblies up on top of our factory raised side rails. The Crossroad fit has a rubber coated steel band that's going to wrap around our factory raised side rails to secure a new system. Once we've laid the crossbar assembly up on top of our side rails, we need to check to make sure it's positioned correctly. We want to make sure that the overhang on either side of the Crossroad foot is even and we also want to make sure that our AeroBlade bar is running perpendicular to our factory raised side rails. more
