Thule Roof Bike Racks Review - 2012 GMC Terrain- Video

Today, on our 2012 GMC Terrain, we're going to be test fitting the Thule Sidearm wheel mount bike carrier, part number TH594XT. We already have a bike installed on the rack. Let's go ahead and take a closer look and show off some of the features. Now, first off, how this actually attaches to the bike rack, there's going to be no frame contact at all. Plus, unlike most roof mount bike carriers, instead of holding it by the forks, you can actually leave the bike together, and it grips it by the wheel. We have the wheel hook up at the front, as I just pointed out. We also have the wheel strap at the back, which is adjustable along the length of the bike rack to accommodate different size bikes. With the bike still attached, I'm going to go ahead and open up the rear hatch here. more
