Today on our 2010 Buick Enclave well be test fitting the Thule vertex four bike carrier, part number TH9029. To begin out test fit well slide the shank of the carrier into the opening of the hitch tube, line up our pin hole, thread our anti-rattle bolt through the threaded pin hole and tighten with a wrench. Now lets go over some clearance measurements to see how the bike carrier and the vehicle fit together. There is about 16 inches of ground clearance. The closest part of the vehicle to the closest part of the carrier is about 1 inches. Weve added about 11 inches to the overall length of the vehicle.
To access the cargo area lift up on the gray handle located at the base of the carrier and tilt the carrier towards you. This will allow you to gain access to your cargo door. To load the bike, first make sure that the mast is in its upright position. Lift the gray handle located at the top of the mast. Fold the cradle arms towards you and undo the cradle straps.
Sit your bike on the frame cradles and secure it with the cradle straps. That concludes todays test fit for the Thule vertex four bike carrier, part number TH9029, on our 2010 Buick Enclave.
