What you'll do, you'll fix the front bracket up snug to the crossbar and then twist the T-handle, which is going to pull the back jaw forward on to it. Once it snugs up there, you can go ahead and tighten it down. With the front secure, we'll secure the back portion. I'm going to slide the, or pull the longer of the 2 hoops, up into position for when we load the bike and that just gets it out of the way of our bracket here. You'll notice this one's got the lower bracket with the T-bolt and the wing nut on top. We'll slide this forward around our crossbar, fix the T-bolt through and you're going to twist it so that it lines up in the slot so it won't come out. more

Yakima ForkLift Roof Bike Racks Review - 2007 Toyota RAV4- Video
Today on our 2007 Toyota RAV4, we're going to be test fitting the Yakima Forklift, Roof Mounted Bike Rack, part number Y02098. We'll begin our test fit by placing the rack on top of our vehicle. For our test fit today, we'll be using the RAV4 factory roof rack system. We'll start by securing the front part of the rack, what you'll need to do is line the T-bolt up so that it slides out of the slot, bring the bracket underneath of the crossbar and then line the T-bolt back up. You're going to need to try and get that T-bolt twisted sideways so that it secures in there. It's a little difficult just 'cause you don't have a lot of clearance. There we go. We're going to remove our skewer and it's important to keep in mind that this is cross threaded or reversed threaded, excuse me, so you want to make sure you're twisting it the opposite of what you normally would that we don't just end up tightening it down. Like I'm doing right now. more
