Yakima FrontLoader Roof Bike Rack Review - 2011 Chevrolet Traverse- Video
Today on our 2011 Chevy Traverse, we'll be test fitting the Yakima front loader roof mounted bike rack, part number Y02103. With the factory roof rack system on our vehicle, we'll begin our test fit by placing the bike rack up onto the vehicle's cross bars. Starting at the front, we'll need to loosen up the large black T handle and position the front tube brackets around the front and back side of the front crossbar. It helps if you lift the bike rack up at a 45 degree angle. Once the front brackets are in place, I'll move to the rear and position the back bracket around the rear crossbar. I'll need to insert the silver T bolt into the slot in the bottom bracket and then to give us some more room when tightening down the black wing nut I'm going to unfold the front part of the wheel hook. This allows me to tighten down the black wing nut more freely. Once the rear is tight, I'll move back up to the front and tighten down the large black T handle to secure the front part of the bike rack to the front bar. Once everything is all tightened down and secured, then we're ready to load up our bike. Since the front part of the wheel hook is already unfolded all we need to do is undo the back tray strap. We'll pick up our bike and place it onto the bike rack, sliding it forward to allow the back part of the wheel hook to come up and rest on the back part of the front tire. more

Yakima FrontLoader Roof Bike Rack Review - 2014 Chevrolet Traverse- Video
Speaker: Today on our 2014 Chevy Traverse we're going to be test-fitting the Yakima Frontloader roof-mounted bike rack, part number Y02103. We'll begin our test-fit by placing the rack on top of our vehicle. We'll go ahead and do that now. I'm going to go ahead and open the doors on the vehicle just so I'm able to stand in them have a little bit more reach. For the front bar, as you can see there's the hook here on the front which runs all the way across the front of it and then a single hook at the back. What we're going to do is we're going to position to where we're going to close down the knob here on the front and that's going to bring that back jaw down on the bar. As we tighten it down on there it's going to bring both the two clamps of the jaw, or jaws of the clamp, excuse me, together. Nice thing of this rack with it having the style of fastening mechanism, you're able to put it on several different types of bars. If you have this style bar on one vehicle and then another style on a different vehicle, you can transfer it from vehicle to vehicle. With that tightened down we'll go ahead and go to our back bar and secure it back there. more
