Today on our 2013 Subaru Forester we'll be test fitting the Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack for Raised, Factory Side Rails, part numbers TH7502-TH7502. With our roof rack system assembled according to the instructions, we'll begin by placing our front bar onto the front part of our roof. Once we have our front bar onto the front part of our roof, we'll fit it onto our side rail. We'll grab out strap and the size of the rail will depend on what number we set our strap on; we're going to be using number three, so we'll slide that third hole onto the hook inside the foot pack, set it back down onto our side rail, bring our strap around and over top our side rail, fit in the two holes on the strap around the two mounts on the foot pack. We'll do this for both sides of the load bar. Then we'll find a fixed point on our side rail to measure from to ensure that our foot packs are in line with each other.
