Thule Roof Rack Review - 2012 Volkswagen Touareg- Video

Today on our 2012 Volkswagen Touareg we are going to be doing a test fit of the Thule Aeroblade Roof Rack System and the foot kit, right here. This would be part number THARB53 and TH450R. As you can see up on our vehicle we already have our front one in place, we are going to show you how to put the second one in place and how it looks once its all complete on top the vehicle. First thing we are going to do, is rotate the end of the Aeroblade, press down on the tab located here and lift up, that will remove the end cap and give us the ability to slide on the T-track system here. Slide the T-track into the grooves, to where its allowed to fall down like so. You want the Thule reading outwards, with the locking mechanism as well. That way your strap is undone and you are ready to rock and roll as far as putting it on. more

Thule AeroBlade Crossroad Roof Rack Installation - 2013 Volkswagen Touareg- Video

Today on our 2013 Volkswagen Touareg, well be test fitting the Thule Crossroads Aero Blade Roof Rack System, part numbers THARB53 and TH450R. Now our vehicle is equipped with factory raised side rails, so to begin our test fit, well place the front crossbar onto the vehicles side rails. Well then measure from a fixed point on the side rail on both the passenger and drivers side of the vehicle to make sure that the crossbar is perpendicular to the vehicle. Once we have established this position, we can remove the end caps of the feet and bring the rubber coated steel straps around the underside of the crossbar and hook them into position. We will then want to make sure that, the overhang of the Aero Blade is equal on both sides of the feet. After doing so, we can use the included tensioning tool to tighten down the feet to secure the crossbar to the vehicles raised side rails. more

Alright, today on a 2011 Volkswagen Touareg, we're going to do a test fit of the Thule Roof Rack System using the Crossroads Foot Packs and AeroBlade bars. We're going to take the front crossbar and place it onto the vehicle. You want to check your owner's manual, check the weight limitation and the proper spacing for the measurement for your crossbars. We'll start by squaring them up with a non-point on the roof rack and then we'll move from there to the leading edge of the foot pack, then we'll go ahead and tighten it down. The foot pack comes with a tool to tighten them down and when you're down, it will store inside the foot pack. Put the front bar tightened down, we'll get and install the rear bar. more

Now we have our load bars already pre-assembled according to the instructions, and we left them loose until we finally install them on the factory roof racks. We will take our first one and go ahead and set it on the roof rack towards the front. Now to keep our bar square on the vehicle we will measure from a known point on the roof rack, and then well measure out to the leading edge on the foot pack. Okay now that we know the roof rack is square, go ahead and make sure it is correct left and right. more
