Video Transcript for Thule Crossroad Roof Rack Installation - 2007 Volvo XC90
Today, on our 2007 Volvo XC90, were going to be test-fitting a Thule Roof Rack System. Well be using a 58-inch square load bars, part number THLB58, as well as their crossroad feet, part number TH450. We already have our roof rack assembled according to the instructions, and now were ready to put it on top of our vehicle. To mount the system, were going to take the front load bar and set it up on top of our side rails. Since this is a system designed to attach to factory-raised side rails, there are no specific measurements when it comes to placing the crossbar. We do, however, need to make sure that the bar overhangs evenly from left to right.
We also want to make sure that the arrow on the side of the crossroad foot is pointed towards the center of the side rail. Finally, we want to make sure that the bar is perpendicular to our side rails. To do this, well measure from a fixed point on the side rails to the leading edge of our crossroad foot and make sure this measurement is the same on both sides. Once we got our front bar in position, we can go ahead and tighten it down, and well be ready to start on the rear bar. Well take the rear bar and set it up on top of our side rails.
Again, we need to make sure that the overhang is even on both sides, but on the rear bar, we need to make sure that it runs parallel to the front. To do this, well measure from the center of the front bar to the center of the rear bar. Make sure this measurement is the same on both sides of the vehicle. This measurement is known as the crossbar spread. Again, we dont have to set it in anything specific; however, if you check with the owners manuals of whatever accessories youre using, they might have a specific range that youll need to fall within.
Once we have the rear bar in position, well go ahead and tighten it down the same way we did the front. With that, our roof rack is installed and were ready to start mounting accessories. That does it for our test fit of the Thule Roof Rack System on our 2007 Volvo XC90.
Ask the Experts about this Roof Rack
Do you have a question about this Roof Rack?
- Weight Capacity of Roof Rack on a 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe Carrying Two Kayaks
- My wife and I just bought a 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe that has the factory rails that run front to back. The limit of those is 75 pounds just like on yours, and I remember thinking, wow, that is not very much.
Adding cross bars will not increase the capacity of the rails even if the cross bars themselves might be able to carry more weight. Even if this is the case, you will still be limited to the 75 pounds.
If you were to add the recommended cross bars, # Y00408, and the Towers, # Y00138, or

- The 100 pound capacity on the 2008 Subaru Outback Wagon most likely refers to the system as a whole. In all probability they took the lowest rated component in the system, either the roof, the side rails, or the crossbars, and went by that rating for the whole system. You may be able to find the capacity of each separate component in the owners manual or by contacting a dealership.
But even if you were to add different crossbars like the Thule Load Bars, # THLB50, Thule still states that on

- The Thule load bars can fit your Civic with the correct foot pack and fit kit, but the crossbars on this roof rack do not have the T-slots that accept the T-slot accessories. This roof rack uses square crossbars that will accept most clamp on roof rack accessories.
If you are needing a roof rack that uses crossbars with T-slots I would recommend the Rhino Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack with Aero Crossbars, part # DA118B, and the Rhino Rack Custom DK Clamps, part # DK009. This roof rack will accep

- If you have factory installed side rails that run front to back on your 2011 Ford Flex you would just need Thule Square Load Bars # THLB58 and you would have a complete roof rack system combined with the Thule Cross Road Foot Pack # TH450 that you currently have.
If you do not have factory raised side rails you will need the following items, Thule Square Load Bars # THLB58, Thule Traverse Roof-Rack Foot Pack # TH480, Thule Roof-Rack Fit Kit for Traverse Foot Packs # THKIT1518.

- Yes, the Thule Crossroad Roof Mounted Roof Railing Foot Pack # TH450 would work well on your 2005 Pontiac Montana SV6, with factory raised rails that run front to back. Along with the raised rail foot pack you will need a set of 50 inch cross bars, # THLB50
I would recommend going with the Complete Crossroad Kit with 50 inch Long Bars and Locks, # TH45050, which includes locks to secure the bars to the side rails. We have a video installation for this item that should be helpful, see link.
