Today our 2012 Chevrolet Malibu were going to do a test fit of Thule roof-rack system. We will be using the Thule traverse foot pack part number TH480. The first thing to do is go ahead and assemble the roof rack according to instructions and go ahead and place along the roof of the car. So well go ahead and open the car doors and place the first cross bar in place. Okay, what well do is go ahead and place on the roof and then we measure out to find the correct position. We are going to measure from the edge of the windshield to the leading edge of a foot pack.
That was go by instructions in this case the dimension we are going to use is nine inches. Well move on to the second cross bar well going to do the same thing for the second cross bar but well measure from the center of the first cross bar to the second one for proper placement. In this case set measurement will be 26 1/2 inches. We got the cross bar in the correct spot. All we have to do is go ahead and tighten down to roof line.
Make sure the fit kit is properly around in the edge of the roof and then we can use the included torque tool to tighten down the rack to the roof. When you finished tighten it down the torque tools inside the foot pack. Okay with that the roof racks are attached to the car. All right with that inaudible for a test fit of a Thule roof-rack system our 2012 Chevrolet Malibu.

ETrailer web site made product selection simple, delivery was even faster than expected, and they kept me informed of order progress via e-mail from start to finish. Thule roof rack system fit perfectly and was easy to assemble and install. Haven't used Rightline cargo bag yet, but construction and materials appear to be robust and well-designed. Overall an outstanding experience.29728

Great service provided here are etrailer.com. I am very happy with my order. I ordered the product on Monday at like 11:00AM and chose the free 5-7 day shipping. They gave me 3-5 day shipping for free and had the product shipped out that day!!! I got it on Thursday with everything I order. There were no issues with anything. They emailed me like 1 hour after the product arrived to make sure everything was good. I would definitely buy here again, and refer my friends to etrailer.com.25272

Easy to install and great price over the standard VW one for sale. Saved about $100. Recommend it to anyone who has rails that come stock on the vehicle and just need bars. 25174

These roof rack bars are easy to use and put on/take off the car - I got them for a Subaru Outback. My wife can easily install them, too. (We like to take them off when we don't need them b/c they cause a low whistling sort of sound when you drive.) The delivery was really quick. I am totally satisfield with etrailer and the product I ordered.52204

My load bars came with a crack in the one of the bars. I called customer service and they indicated they would send me a new set. The customer was very prompt with my request. I hope to receive the new set so I can install and use.61423
