Inno Aero Crossbars Installation - 2022 Mazda CX-9- Video

Hey everybody, Cooper here from etrailer. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the INNO Roof Rack System on our 2022 Mazda CX-9. Now, if you want to carry around some accessories on your roof, like maybe a kayak carrier, a bike rack, or maybe some sort of cargo bin up on top of our roof, the first thing we're going to need is a roof rack system like we have on here today. Taking a quick look at it, we can tell that we do have some arrow crossbars here, which does mean that they just start off a little fatter in the front and kind of taper off towards the back. This is just to help cut down on that wind noise and drag that comes with putting something on top of your roof. Now, with some roof rack systems, they are kind of more flexible in their placement, so you can move them around your roof. more

Hey everybody, how's it going Today we're gonna be going over and showing you how to install the Thule WingBar Evo crossbar system here on a 2021 Mazda MX-5 with bare roof. Now I personally think it looks really well with this vehicle here, and particularly the black crossbars due to the darker paint scheme we do have on the vehicle. But if you have a lighter paint scheme, or you just prefer the lighter crossbar option, this system is available with silver crossbars as well. This system here, the wing bars, these are an arrow shaped crossbar. So there's a few different arrow shaped crossbar options on the market, but what I think Thule does really well is that they kind of go one step further. The shape or the contour of our crossbars here mimics an airplane wing. more

We'll need to measure 11 and 1/4 inches from the leading edge of the front windshield to the first part of our foot pack. We're going to make this measurement on both the passenger and driver's side of the vehicle to ensure the front load bar is perpendicular to the roof. Once we have it in place, we're going to use the included tensioning tool to tighten down the silver bolt on the inside of our foot to bring the clips tightly up against the roofline. Now we'll need to alternate sides when tightening it down just to make sure the bar doesn't favor one side of the vehicle.

Today on this 2010 Mazda CX-9 we're going to do a test fit of the Thule Crossroad Roof Rack using the AeroBlade bars. Now we have our bars preassembled and we'll be fitting them to the factory rails. You want to check the documentation that came with your roof rack for proper placement of the load bars that you're using. Also depending on the kit that you're going to use, you want to check the documentation for proper spacing. For our test fit we'll be using a generic measurement. We'll put our crossbars into place and run the straps underneath the factory rails and then back up to the catch on the other side. more

Once weve done that were going to take our threaded rods, fit then into the fix points of the roof rack and tighten them down. With the threaded racks tightened down in each of the fix points were going to take our four sleeves and slide them over the post. more
