Inno Roof Rack Review - 2017 Nissan Altima

Today in our 2017 Nissan Altima, we're going to be test fitting the Inno Roof Rack System, consisting of part numbers INB127, these are the Inno square crossbars, 50 inches long; part number INSU-K5, these are the Inno feet for the square crossbars for naked roofs; and part number INK625, this is the custom fit kit for this particular vehicle. The Inno Roof Rack is great for carrying a wide variety of accessories ranging from bike racks to cargo baskets to enclosed cargo boxes to ski carriers to some water sport carriers. The bars are nice and sturdy and have a carrying capacity of 220 pounds, although you always want to double check with your vehicle's manual to make sure your roof can stand that amount of weight. Now that we've gone over some of the features of the roof rack, let's go ahead and show you how it installs. We have a front one installed already and we had the rear one partially assembled. This is basically what we're going to get with your roof rack kit here. We'll have the foot, the pad, and the actual clamp itself that goes around, plus these two pieces which fit onto the foot as well. First off, we'll go ahead and place our foot on the end of our square bar here. You see that it has a square opening, however you have to push the bolt here down. more

I'll just make sure it's about an inch apart from the first part of that foot pack to that crease. Doing this on both side will ensure the front load bar is perpendicular to the roof of our Rogue.

We'll do this measurement on both sides to ensure that our feet are in line with each other. Then we can use the included Allen tool to tighten the Allen bolt to secure our clamps around the roofline of our Rogue. We'll tighten a little bit at a time on each side to ensure we don't lose our position. Once we have those tight, we can slide the tool into the foot pack and close the cover.

To begin out test fit, we'll place the front cross bar, already assembled, onto our Altima. The instructions tell us to measure 10 inches from the top edge of the glass to the closest part of the Q tower, to ensure a good fit. By measuring this on both sides of our Altima, our Yakima roof rack will be evenly aligned. Once everything is situated correctly, we'll tighten the thumb screws inside our Q towers, alternating on each side to keep an even fit. When the Q towers are tightened, we can close the cap. Now we'll open our rear doors, and place the back half of the rack onto our Altima. We'll need to measure again from the center of each cross bar, to get the correct placement of our second bar. The cross bar spread should be 32 inches, and as before, we'll measure this on both sides of our Altima. more

Thule AeroBlade Crossroad Roof Rack Installation - 2012 Nissan Xterra

Today on our 2012 Nissan Xterra, we'll be test fitting the Thule Rapid Crossroad Roof Rack system using part numbers THARB43 and TH450R. With our roof rack system assembled according to the instructions, we'll begin our test fit by placing our front load bar onto the front part of our side rails. We'll find fixed point on each side rail to line up our feet. That way, we can make sure that they're in line with each other. Once we have them in line, we can then bring the strap around our bar, fit it back into the foot of the carrier, and use the included tool to tighten it down. Once we have it secure, we can slide the tool back into the foot pack and move to the other side and repeat the same process. We'll grab our rear bar and place it onto the rear part of our side rails. We want to make sure that our bars are going to be parallel, so we need to set a load bar spread and have a minimum of 24 inches. We'll measure from the center of the front bar to the center of the rear bar. more
