Thule Crossroad Roof Rack Installation - 2013 Toyota Sienna- Video

Today on our 2013 Toyota Sienna, we'll be test fitting the Thule complete crossroad kit with 58 inch long bars and locks, part number TH45058. We'll begin our test fit by placing the front load bar onto the front of our roof. We'll position both of the feet next to a crease, right where the raised side rail connects to the roof. Make sure the feet are equidistant from the slide on both sides. This will ensure that the front bar is perpendicular to the raised rails of our roof. With the bar in position, we can bring the rubber coated steel straps around the underside of the bar and hook them into the connection points. We'll then use the included tool to tighten on the black bolt that tighten the straps up against the rail. We'll then repeat the same process for the other side. With this done, we'll go ahead and place the rear load bar onto the rear of our roof and measure the load bar spread. more
