Speaker 1: Today on our 2012 Ford Focus we'll be taking a look at the Rhino Rack Roof Rack System. This is going to consist of Vortex Aero Crossbars, part number RRVA126B-2. Our crossbars are also available in silver, part number RRVA126S-2. And the Rhino Rack 2500 Series Legs, part number RRRLKVA and our fit kit for our Ford Focus, part number DK307. The Rhino Rack Roof Rack System is a great solution for carrying a wide variety of accessories on your vehicle, whether those are bike racks, cargo baskets, ski and snowboard carriers or kayak carriers. The aerodynamic shape of the bar is going to help to reduce wind noise and drag.
Our weather strip here can be easily removed, cut down and replaced to use the channel mounted accessories. As for our fit pack, this is going to have a lock and cover, which will help to prevent theft and tampering of your roof rack system as a whole.On the inside we're going to have a bolt that secures the clamp of our fit kit to our vehicle. Our fit kit is going to consist of the pad and the clamp and any portion of each of those items that touches our vehicle is going to have a rubber coating to prevent any scratches or abrasions. They are also going to be custom cut and fit to our vehicle to get a nice secure fit. The Rhino Rack Roof Rack System has a 165 pound weight capacity but you do want to double check your vehicle's owner's manual to make sure it can withstand that much weight.
It also comes with a limited lifetime warranty. It's going to be quick and easy to install. We'll show you how to do that now.Now we start by removing our bolts from our leg kit. We're going to take our clamp and place it over the top then tighten down our bolt one more time. We're going to tighten this down just enough so that it holds our clamp into place but not too tight because we still want to place this on to our vehicle.
Now we'll flip our leg kit over and pop off the bottom plastic piece. We'll take our pads, each arrow, want to make sure they face the same way. We'll close up our pads and we're just going to make sure that each arrow is facing away from the inside of our crossbar. Next we'll take out leg kit and place it onto our crossbar. We'll slide it on.
And we can measure out our overhang. This is going to be 15.4 cm. It is in your instructions. Measure that out and we can take out included tool and tighten down the bolts in the center.Now we'll take our crossbar end cap. We can place it on and lock it into place. We're ready to open up our vehicle doors and load this up onto our vehicle. Now we can take our crossbar and gently place it across our vehicle, making sure that our clamps sit around our door frame. Now we're going to take a measurement from the center of the front bar to the center of the back. We're just going to measure out 72 cm, according to our instructions and that's going to be our crossbar spread. Do the same thing on the other side. Now we'll start to tighten everything down. I like to tighten it up so that my clamp sits just up against my door frame. And we'll go and do the same thing to the other side. And we'll continue doing this back and forth until it's completely tightened down evenly.Now we'll know this is completely tightened down when the skinnier of our torque tool is straight, just like we have there. Now we'll take our included locking end cap, place it on, lock it into place and we're ready to load up our gear and hit the road. And that's going to be our completed look at the Rhino Rack Roof Rack System on our 2012 Ford Focus.
