Thule Traverse Roof Rack Installation - 2013 Dodge Dart- Video
Today on our 2013 Dodge Dart we'll be test fitting the Thule Square Bar Roof Rack System, part numbers thkit1667, th480, and thlb58. Now with our feet, fit kit and load bars already assembled according to the included instructions, we'll begin our test fit by placing the front load bar onto the front of the vehicle. We'll need to measure from the front part of the glass to the first part of the foot on both the passenger and driver side of the vehicle to ensure that the load bar is perpendicular to the vehicle and the fit kit contours to the roof line correctly. After establishing this position, we'll use the included tensioning tools to tighten down the feet to secure the load bar to the vehicle. Note that you may want to tighten down each foot a little at a time so that one side of the load bar doesn't favor one side of the vehicle. We'll now place the load bar onto the rear of the vehicle and we'll need to measure the crossbar spread. more

Yakima Q Tower Roof Rack Installation - 2013 Dodge Dart- Video
Today on our 2013 Dodge Dart we'll be test fitting the Yakima Round Bar Roof Racking System, part numbers y00409, y00124, y00606 and y00702. Now with our Q-clips, towers and crossbars already assembled according to the instructions we'll begin the test fit by placing the front crossbar onto the front of the vehicle. We'll then measure from the front part of the glass to the first part of the tower as indicated in the instructions.We'll measure seven inches on both the passenger and driver's side of the vehicle making sure that the crossbar is perpendicular to the vehicle and the pads on the underside of the Q-towers contour correctly to the vehicle. Once we've established this position on the crossbar we'll then tighten down the silver bolts on the inside of the tower and latch down the black plastic covers.Now you may want to alternate sides when tightening down the silver bolts as when closing the black plastic covers the crossbar will tend to favor to one side. Now with the front crossbar secured to the vehicle we're ready to load our rear crossbar. We'll place our rear crossbar onto the rear of the vehicle and measure the crossbar spread. more
