With it's study steel construction, it's also going to offer a 150 pound weight capacity. As you can see, we've already two of our feet in place up front, on our front crossbar as well as one in the rear on the driver's side. This will fit most all of your roof rack systems, whether it's going to be your factory roof rack system, your elliptical, your aero, round, or square, or any other kind of crossbar that you may have, it will most likely fit with it's different adapters and pieces to the kit.

You're going to adjust those tot he center of your crossbar spread. Say if you have a 32 inch crossbar spread, you're going to adjust the circles here, measure them 32 inches apart and then tighten them down. more
