Yakima FrontLoader Roof Bike Rack Review - 2011 Chevrolet Traverse

Today on our 2011 Chevy Traverse, we'll be test fitting the Yakima front loader roof mounted bike rack, part number Y02103. With the factory roof rack system on our vehicle, we'll begin our test fit by placing the bike rack up onto the vehicle's cross bars. Starting at the front, we'll need to loosen up the large black T handle and position the front tube brackets around the front and back side of the front crossbar. It helps if you lift the bike rack up at a 45 degree angle. Once the front brackets are in place, I'll move to the rear and position the back bracket around the rear crossbar. I'll need to insert the silver T bolt into the slot in the bottom bracket and then to give us some more room when tightening down the black wing nut I'm going to unfold the front part of the wheel hook. This allows me to tighten down the black wing nut more freely. Once the rear is tight, I'll move back up to the front and tighten down the large black T handle to secure the front part of the bike rack to the front bar. Once everything is all tightened down and secured, then we're ready to load up our bike. Since the front part of the wheel hook is already unfolded all we need to do is undo the back tray strap. We'll pick up our bike and place it onto the bike rack, sliding it forward to allow the back part of the wheel hook to come up and rest on the back part of the front tire.
