Question:

Hi, I’m currently attempting to install the roof racks on my 2017 Honda Fit and the “measurement strip length” stated is 151mm for front. Which is making the feet sit outside the roof channels. It appears in the diagram to sit IN these channels. Just wanted to confirm measurements and placement. Thanks!

We had the chance to install the Rhino Rack roof rack you have # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK438 on a very similar 2016 Honda Fit and we found that the feet fit to the inside of the channel you mentioned. Check out the picture I attached to see this. Also check out the install video that details the entire process and will help you figure out where the measurement discrepancy is coming from.
