Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2016 Chrysler Town and Country TH9029XT- Video
Today on our 2016 Chrysler Town and Country, we're doing a test fit of the Thule Vertex hanging style 4 bike rack. That part number is TH9029XT. We already have our bike on the rack. We're first going to show you how we strap that down. We have two cradles in place and then three straps altogether: two on our frame and then one as our anti-sway strap in the back. To release those we're going to pull down and lift up and we're going to save that anti-sway strap for last. Then we can just pull our bike off and set it off to the side, and with that out of the way we always want to make sure we reconnect our straps so we don't lose or damage any of them. Now we'll take a few measurements. more
