Today on our 2014 Chevy Impala, we'll be test fitting the Yakima Q Towers Roof Rack System using the 58 inch load bars. We'll be using part numbers Y00409, Y00723, Y00732 and Y00124. With everything assembled according to included instructions, we'll begin our test fit by placing the front cross bar onto the front of our roof. Now we'll need to measure nine inches from the leading edge of the glass to the leading edge of our Q Tower. We'll need to make this measurement on both the passenger and driver's side of the vehicle. Making this measurement on both sides will ensure the front crossbar is perpendicular to the roof of our Impala. Once we have the bar in position, we'll tighten down the silver thumb screw on the inside of the tower and clamp down the black plastic covers. Clamping down the cover is going to bring the clip up tightly against the roof line. more

SportRack Semi-Custom Roof Rack Review - 2013 Chevrolet Cruze

Today on our 2013 Chevrolet Cruz we'll be test fitting the Sportrack Semi-Custom Roof Rack for naked roofs, fifty inches in length, part number SR1010. We'll begin our test fit by placing the front bar onto the front of our roof. We'll then need to measure, according to the fit guide, seven inches from the center of the door jamb to the first part of the foot. We'll make this measurement on both the driver's side and passenger's side of the vehicle to ensure the front bar is correctly in place. We can use the included allen wrench to loosen up the allen bolts to fit the brackets around the roof line. With the clamps in place, we can then again use the included allen wrench to tighten down the clips up against the roof line. Quick tech tip: You'll need to alternate sides when tightening it down so the bar doesn't favor one side of the vehicle. With the front bar in place, we can now place the rear bar onto the rear of our roof and measure the load bar spread. Now the load bar spread is the measurement from the center of the front load bar to the center of the rear load bar. We'll measure twenty-four inches from the center of the front bar to the center of the rear bar on both the passenger and driver's side of the vehicle. This will ensure that both bars are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the roof of our Cruz. more
