Thule Traverse Roof Rack Installation - 2003 GMC Sierra - Video
Today we are going to review part number TH480 from Thule. This is Thules traverse foot pack. And we will also be using fit kit part number THKIT1522. And the cross bars we will be using on this demonstration will be THLB58. Those are sold separately. And we will be taking these parts and will be installing these on a 2003 GMC Sierra extended cab pickup truck. We have our parts here laid out with just one end of the bar so you will not get confused. We will flip the whole assembly over so you can see it easier. We are going to start off with our tower here. To slide it onto the bar, what we are going to have to do is loosen this clamp up. So we pull back on this latch right here. Then we can slide our bar in. We will just leave that loose for now. We are going to pop on our little cap. We are going to need to open up this door here. It just snaps open. And while we are here, we will use this tool to tighten down this screw which actually will clamp it down to the car. Then next we will go ahead and install the fit kit itself. 1:00 more

Yakima RailGrab Roof Rack Installation - 2011 GMC Terrain - Video
Today on this 2011 GMC Terrain, we will be test fitting the Yakima RailGrab Roof Rack System. Our Terrain already has factory installed raised side rails, so we will be using the RailGrab system that will clamp onto these side rails. Today, we will be using the small claw with our RailGrab towers. We already have all the crossbars assembled, so we can go ahead and begin mounting them. With our RailGrab towers in place, we need to make sure that the crossbar is overhanging evenly on both sides of the vehicle. Once we have the RailGrab system in place, we can begin tightening it down. We will start with the black Allen head bolt and tighten it down to the point where we have it snug. Once we do that, we can go ahead and tighten down our silver Allen head bolts on both sides of the vehicle. Once they are tight, we can go back and lock down the black bolts.0:44 more

Rhino Rack Roof Rack Installation - 2007 GMC Sierra - Video
Today on this 2007 GMC Sierra 1500 4-door crew cab, we will be installing a Rhino Rack 2500 roof rack system with the HD bars. Once we have the crossbar assemblies put together, we are ready to mount the front crossbar. We will open the front door on both the driver and passenger side of the truck and lay our crossbars into position. We will need to measure from the center of the door seam to the center of the front crossbar. This measurement on this vehicle needs to be 9-27/32 inches. Once we have the front crossbar placed in position, we can begin tightening it down. With our front crossbar tightened down, we can now place and potion the rear. 0:52 more

Thule Traverse Roof Rack Installation - 2007 GMC Sierra - Video
Today on this 2007 GMC Sierra we are going to be installing a Thule Traverse roof rack. After we have the crossbar assemblies put together, we will open the front doors on our truck. Carefully set the crossbar assembly into place. The front crossbar on our 4-door model needs to measure 11 inches back from the windshield. We will make sure that the measurement on the driver side is the same. And we will also make sure that the crossbar is spaced evenly from the driver side to passenger side. Once we have checked our measurements and positioning, we can begin to tighten the system down. The Thule Traverse feet feature a built-in AcuTight wrench. We will move back and forth from one side of the vehicle to the other so that we make sure we tighten down the feet evenly and we do not lose our positioning. 0:49 more
