Thule Passage Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Review - 2014 Volkswagen Jetta- Video
Today on our 2014 Volkswagen Jetta, we'll be test fitting the Thule Passage trunk mounted 2-bike rack, part #TH910XT. With the fit dial to #7 according to the included instructions we'll begin our test fit by placing the bike rack up onto the vehicle's trunk. The bottom part of the bike rack should rest on the upper tier of the rear bumper. We'll now take the top clips and hook them to the top part of the trunk, the side clips to side part of the trunk and the bottom clips to the bottom part of the trunk. We'll then loosely tighten them down to get them in place. Once the straps are in place and the bike rack can support itself, we'll fully tighten them down securing the bike rack to the trunk. After the securing the excess slack, we're ready to load up our bike. With the cradle straps already undone we'll simply place our bike into the frame cradles, bring the rubber coated straps around the frame and secure them. And with our bike all loaded up that will complete today's test fit for the Thule Passage, part #TH910XT, on our 2014 Volkswagen Jetta. more
