Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars Roof Rack Kit Installation - 2024 Jeep Compass- Video

Hi, Matt with E-Trailer, and today we're talking about the Thule Roof Rack on top of our 2023 Jeep Compass. Now, this can be a great option for you, because the Compass doesn't have a lot of space in the back anyways, and eventually you're probably gonna run outta space if you are taking a trip. So a good place to store that extra luggage, or whatever you have, is gonna be on top of your roof. And this is gonna be a great option, because we're gonna have a decent amount of space to play around with here, because this one we have today has a little bit of overhang. A typical advantage to having a roof rack that has overhang to it is you're gonna be able to put those clamp-on accessories at the very end. It's gonna be more ideal if you have anything like a kayak, or if you have skis. more

One thing to note, do not fully tighten these down, as it does lock these feet to the bar and it won't allow you to adjust the distance on each side. So just for now all we want to do is just get the thread started. more

With our roof rack assembled according to the instructions, we'll begin our test fit by opening both front doors. We'll grab our front bar and place it onto the front part of our roof. To make sure that our bar is in the right position, we need to measure 16" from the leading edge of the windshield to the closest point of the foot pack. We'll do this on both sides to ensure that our feet are in line with each other. We'll make sure that the clamps go around the roof line of our vehicle, and then we can use the thumb screw inside the foot pack to tighten it down and then close the lever. We'll do this on both sides to ensure that our bar is fully secure. We'll open our rear doors, grab our rear bar, and place it onto the rear part of our roof. And to make sure this in the correct location, we need to measure 32" from the center of the front bar to the center of the rear bar. more

With this done, we'll need to place the front load bar onto the front of our roof. The holes in the rubber coated metal plate should line up with the holes in our flush rails. We'll need to take the Allen bolts to go through the holes of our plates and into the holes of our flush rails. more
