Video Transcript for Thule Crossroad Roof Rack Installation - 2010 Chevy Suburban
In this video we are going to show you how to install a Thule Crossroad roof rack onto a Suburban with existing side rails. We will be using the Thule Crossroad feet, part number TH450, and Thules 58 inch load bars, part number THLB58. The Crossroad pack comes with four Crossroad feet, the end caps with the built in Allen key and four smaller end caps that will go on the end of our bars. The Crossroad feet are designed to quickly and easily attach to the factory side rails on your vehicle. The band is actually a steel band coated in rubber. This gives it plenty of strength but the rubber also protects your factory side rails. It is going to loop around your side rail and connect back to the foot. Then we will use the end cap with the built in Allen head wrench to tighten down this bolt. It will tighten the whole system down to your vehicle, as well as tighten down the crossbars in the foot. 0:55
Now we are going to assemble one and get it ready to mount on our vehicle. We are going to take our crossbar and feed one of the Crossroad feet over it. Next we are going to snap our end cap. We are going to take our first crossbar assembly and mount it all of the way on the front of our side rails. Because the Crossroad system is designed to attach to vehicles with existing side rails, there are no unique measurements per vehicle. All that you have to do is make sure that your crossbar spread from the center of the front crossbar to the center of the rear crossbar is a minimum of 24 inches. We will also make sure that the crossbar overhangs the feet evenly on both sides. Once we have everything lined up, we can start tightening things down. 1:37
As we tighten the Allen bolt down, it is not only going to grab on to the side rails but it is also going to lock our crossbar into place. Now that we have the driver side foot snugged down, we are going to move to the passenger side, tighten that one all of the way down and come back and finish up with the driver side. Once it is good and tight, we will take the end cap, slide it into position and it snaps into place. We will repeat the same process for the crossbar in the rear. You can also install Thule lock cores, part number TH544. The lock cores will allow you to secure the Crossroad feet to your vehicle so that the roof rack cannot be easily removed. And that does it for our Thule Crossroad installation on our 2010 Chevrolet Suburban.
Ask the Experts 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.
