Video Transcript for Quick-Release Rooftop Tent Mounting Kit for Front Runner Platform Racks Feature Review

Hi everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at this quick release rooftop tent mounting kit for your Front Runner platform racks. Now, these two quick release rooftop tent brackets are gonna let you easily mount and remove a tent on your Front Runner Slimline II or Slimsport Platform Rack. And this is going to be a relatively easy installation with the included hardware. The base brackets with the latches, let me go ahead and disconnect this just to show you that.

So this base bracket with the latches are going to install to the top channels in your Front Runner platform rack. And then the catches and bobbing bolts are going to secure to your rooftop tent's base channels. So once you have this installed, you're going to then align the bobbing bolts on your tent to the base brackets on the platform just like so and then slide it into place. And then you're going to close the latches to secure everything in place. So it's going to be a very easy, very simple operation.

And once you have this latch, it's going to be very secure for you. And then you can also, if you don't already have one, you can pick up a small accessory lock to put in through that hole to help deter theft. And like I said, if you don't already have an accessory lock, check the related products section at the bottom of this product page and we have an option there from Front Runner that will work here. Now to open this, we have this catch here that you're just going to slide back. That's going to allow this latch to open and then disconnect it just like that.

So this is, once you have the pieces installed, it's going to be a very simple operation for you. These black powder coated steel brackets and the stainless steel latches are going to do a great job of a existing corrosion. And I went ahead and measured these brackets before our time together. Looking at the overall length at the longest points here, so from top to the bottom of our latch here, we're sitting at about 5-3/16 inches long. The overall width at the widest point, we're sitting at about 5-5/8 inches wide.

And then the overall height, we're sitting at about 2-3/8 inches tall. Now again, this is going to be for a set of two quick release rooftop tent mounting brackets. But if you're needing more, the good news is we do have this in a set of six and also a set of four. So depending on which set you're looking for, you can take the associated item number that you see there on your screen, put it in the search field of our website and that will take you to that set that you're looking for. Now, just some final notes as we wrap up our time together. You wanna make sure to review your installation guide to verify if your tent is compatible. Hard shell tents like James Baroud, iKamper, and Autohome do require additional support channel sets which are sold separately. Some tents may need additional nut plates which aren't included with this kit. And then finally, large and heavy tents may require additional brackets for support. Instructions are included to walk you through the very easy installation process. And that's gonna wrap up our brief look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
