Rhino Rack Roof Rack Review - 2016 Jeep Patriot- Video
Today on our 2016 Jeep Patriot, we're doing a test fit of the rhino rack vortex aero crossbars. Our part number for our crossbar here is rrva118b-2, for our foot pack that we're using it's rrsx001. Now we already have our front bar mounted up and secured, we're going to show you how we put on our last foot pack here, and then show you how we load up our bar since it is the same way. We'll start by taking our foot pack. If it's closed like this, you want to open it all the way. We're just going to fit it so that everything lines up and fits into our channel here. more

Rhino Rack Roof Rack Review - 2015 Jeep Patriot- Video
Today on our 2015 Jeep Patriot, we're going to be doing a test fit on the Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Roof Rack system. For the foot packs themselves, we're using part number RRSX001 and for the factory fit style width bars we're going to use the RRVA118S-2. These are also available in black as part number RRVA118B-2. Now these are going to be the narrower of the bars that we can use, these are 44 inch. We can go up to the 49 inch or also the 54 inch with these, you can check those out on our website if you choose to go a little wider than what we have today. The longer ones, the ones that are listed, I think they're up to 60 inches, those are a little bit too big. They couldn't quite work for us. Now to begin our test fit, let me show you how the foot pack goes in, it's a real simple setup, we just pull the black cap out of the end here and you'll see there's two squares there and then a smaller kind of a rounded top, I think it's got a square at the bottom of it there. more

Yakima Roof Rack Review - 2010 Jeep Patriot- Video
Today on our 2010 Jeep Patriot we're going to be test fitting the Yakima RailGrab roof rack system. We're using the 48" round bars - those are part number Y00408 - and the Yakima RailGrab foot pack system. Its part number is Y00138. Now the RailGrab system is designed with a nice rubber protective cover here that allows that to grip onto the rail as the angled bracket portion comes in and what they call RailGrab or grabs around the rail to secure it. This also has a nice scratch-resistant finish to it so it's not going to do any damage to those side rails. Now we've already got the rear bar installed on the vehicle so we'll begin our test fit by placing the front bar up here onto the front roof line of the vehicle. Now as we install these we want to find a fixed point to use for reference. In our case Jeep was nice enough to put some little marks and arrows all the way down the length of the side rails here. more

To start, we're simply going to place it up here on the front roof line of the vehicle. We're going to bring the black rubber-coated metal straps around the underside. We need to do this on both sides, so our bar's sitting pretty square. Now, as we put this on our vehicle, we want to be sure that we have equal bar overhang on both sides, and that we're using a fixed point. In our case, Jeeps have a couple notches here, as well as an arrow. more

We'll begin our test fit by placing the front load bar onto the front of our roof. Now, here on the raised rails of our Jeep are indication arrows to help us when selecting the position of the front bar. I'm just going to position the bar right over the indication arrow just to make sure that the front bar is perpendicular to the roof. Then, at a 45 degree angle, we'll be able to position the rubber coated strap to go around the other side of the raised rail making sure the pad of the bar fits nicely onto the rail. more
