Rhino Rack Roof Rack Review - 2014 Cadillac SRX- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2014 Cadillac SRX we are going to be test fitting the Rhino Rack Vortex Aero roof rack system consisting of part numbers RRVA 118b-2. These are the vortex aero crossbars 46 inches long. These also come in silver, part number RRVA 118s-2.To hold them in place we have the SX series legs for the factory raised side rails. Meaning, this is the style that clamps on both sides and holds them in place on your factory raised side rails.This is a great roof rack system that can carry a wide variety of accessories ranging from bike racks to cargo baskets, to cargo boxes. It has a nice air dynamic shape to it, with this elliptical shape and that's going to help cut down the wind noise and drag while you drive.Removing our end cap here, we do have a plastic lock that its in place and it does come with a tool to loosen it up. You can see that we can utilize T-track accessories with this by removing the strip, placing in your T-track accessories and then cutting the strip to length around it.Also at the end caps here, these plastic locks can be removed and replaced with a regular lock that you can find on etrailer.com to secure both your roof rack to your factory raised side rails but as well to secure your T-track accessories as well since they can't remove them without removing the end cap.The SX series leg, as I said, clamps around both sides of our factory raised side rail, and where it does make contact there's sufficient patting to make sure that there's no scratches or abrasions while you're installing it.How we got our first bar in position, we picked a spot at the front here and just measured back on the same distance, both sides, to make sure that it was even. more

To begin our test fit I will go ahead and show you how to slide this onto our crossbar. You'll want to make sure that this is face up like this and it feeds in through the notch part like that. We'll go ahead and feed that through. It should slide, there we go, slide right on in. We're going to go ahead and leave our end-cap off for now, that way we can access or tightening device inside. With our front crossbar already installed on our vehicle we can go ahead and throw this over top and set it on our factory raised rails there. Now for our front bar, I've already pushed that all the way up as far as it will go on both sides. So we've got that fixed up there and that way we can have a full adjustment of our load bar in back. more

Thule AeroBlade Crossroad Roof Rack Installation - 2011 Cadillac SRX- Video
Today, on our 2011, Cadillac SRX, we'll be test fitting the Thule Rapid Crossroads Roof Rack System, part numbers THARB47 and TH450R. We'll begin our test fit by placing the front load bar onto the front of our roof. We'll place the front load bar as far up as possible next to where the raised side rails are flush up against the roof. We'll use this connection point to make sure that the front load bar is perpendicular to the roof and that it is even on both sides. Once we've established this position, we can then pop off the end caps to bring the rubber coated seal straps around the underside of our raised side rails. We'll then hook them back into position and use the included tensioning tool to turn the black bolt to bring the straps up around tightly against the load bar. more
