Today on our 2012 Scion xB, we're going to take a look at the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar roof rack. The crossbar number will be RRVA137B-2. The Series Legs will be RRRLKVA, and the clamps and pad will be DK152. Now, I already have the first one already on our vehicle. Going to show you how we install the second one. What we have up here, we have our crossbar, we have our Series Leg, then we have our clamp and pad here. We have our covers to cover up our Series Legs.
We have our end cap, plus we have our tool to lock the end cap, and the Rhino tool itself. Now I have one part already on, I'm going to show you how to put the other part on. Per instructions, I'm going to make a measurement of 11.5 cm, so I can center our leg. First I need to go ahead and put on our pad, and the pad, the arrow should be pointing out, and the arrows on here are also going to be pointing out. When I mean out, it'll be out going toward the back of your vehicle. I'm going to put this on like so, it pretty much clamps on. I'm going to go ahead and add this on, like I say, it slides into the little T-slot here.
Just going to make sure I have it straight, slide that on. Make my measurement to 11.5 cm. Then, I'm going to go ahead and tighten it up with our Rhino tool. That's tight. I'm going to add in our clamp. What we've got to do is take off this bolt here, slide this in there.
Go ahead and start to turn it. Now we're ready to put it on our vehicle, so I'm going to open up our doors. I'm going to pretty much put this on over to the other side, get this side over here. Now what I have to do is, between the two crossbars, our measurement is going to be seventy centimeters. I'm going to go ahead and make that measurement now. It'll be from the middle of here to the middle here.
I'm going to go to the other side and do the same. Now I can start tightening it up. We're just going to take our allen wrench, here, start to tighten this up. As this gets tight, the little blue handle here, if you can see, has a little curve in it. Once it starts getting tight, its actually going to turn almost straight like that. I'm going to start on this side, do a couple of turns, then I'm going to go on the other side. I don't want it to start pulling from one side, so I want to make sure each side gets evenly tightened up. Continue to tighten on this side here, we're going to make this nice and snug, go back over here. The one things about the Rhino roof rack, you'll also have all your accessories, you can find on our website, such as bike racks, ski and snowboard carriers, even kayak carriers also, and all other accessories. I'm pretty much just getting tight, so it's about that time for me to go ahead and stop. That's pretty tight, so I'm going to go ahead and put our end cap on. Our end cap, it already has a lock on it, so it's going to be good, we can leave it on our roof. We're going to put on our end cap here, like so. With the key we have, we're going to turn this. If you have any accessories loaded into the T slot itself, we can put it on there, lock it up, and you can leave it on your vehicle at all times. We're going to go ahead and close this up, go to the other side, continue to finish this one up. Put on the end cap, here, go ahead and lock that up. Take our cover, put that in, and now we're ready to go. That's going to complete our look at the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar roof rack on today's 2012 Scion xB.
