Hi, Im trying to install and dont know what the measurements should be for the 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback. I have the feet and the bars put together. Just need to know where to set it on top of vehicle measurements.

Expert Reply:

This distance will be determined by the specific manufacturer and bar kit that you purchased for your 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback.

In general, its easier to complete installation of the front bar set first, then proceed to the rear set.

For both the Square and WingBars, you will want to install the front fit pack at 10-7/8 inches behind the windshield.

Then, you will want the second set of fit kit parts to be at 26 inches behind the center of the first set. I've included the diagram from the instruction manual available on Thule's website to help give you an idea of how to measure these distances out.

I've included a video review of the WingBar Crossbars, part # TH711400. You'll also use the Evo Foot Pack, part # TH710501 and fit kit, part # TH145043. The WingBars are also available in black, part # TH711420.
