Today on our 2012 Honda Civic Hybrid, we're going to be test fitting part number TH513, the Thule Domestique Fork-Mount Bike Carrier. Now, our vehicle is already equipped with the Thule Rapid Aero Roof Rack System so we're ready to go ahead and fit our bike rack to the vehicle. To begin, we'll set the bike rack on top of the crossbars. We'll place the head of the bike rack directly over the front crossbar. We can then bring the clamping device underneath the crossbar and tighten it down using the Allen wrench included within the bike rack. We'll then move to the back mount while we'll bring the clamp underneath the rear crossbar and clamp it down again using the included Allen wrench.
We'll then install our skewer into the head of the bike rack and that will fit the bike rack to our vehicle, and we're ready to load our bike. Now, before loading our bike, we'll need to make sure that our rear tire strap is opened up and out of the way and that our skewer is centered in the bike rack and ready for our fork. We can then simply set the bike into the bike rack and with the fork in the skewer we'll tighten it down. We can then move back to the back wheel strap, bring it through the wheel, and secure it back to the bike rack. And with that, our bike is loaded and we're ready to hit the road.
And that completes our test fit of part number TH513, the Thule Domestique Fork-Mount Bike Carrier, on our 2012 Honda Civic Hybrid.
