Thule Roof Bike Racks Review - 2005 Toyota Prius- Video

Today on our 2005 Toyota Prius, we're going to be test fitting the Thule Paceline Roof Mounted Bike Rack, part number TH527. We'll begin our test fit by placing the rack on top of our vehicle. The rack on our vehicle today is the Thule Rapid Traverse Roof Rack System.

This cams over and brings that T bolt up. There should be some resistance, but it shouldn't be too easy. more
