Now theres a cutout from the anchor point of the raised side rails and the horizontal bar that runs across which we will use as our fixed point. Well make sure the distance from the first part of the foot to this fixed point is equal on both the passenger and drivers side to ensure the front load bar is perpendicular to the raised side rails of our Rogue. Once weve established this position onto our roof, well then pop off the end cap to bring the rubber-coated steel straps around the underside of the raised side rail. Well then hook them back into position and use the included Allen key to tighten down the black bolt to bring the rubber-coated steel straps up tightly against the side rail. more
Thule Crossroad Roof Rack Installation - 2011 Nissan Rogue- Video
Today on this 2011 Nissan Rogue we are going to show you how to install a Thule Crossroad roof rack system. The Thule Crossroad system is designed to attach to vehicles with factory raised side rails like we have on our Rogue. Once we have the crossbars assembled, we can place them on top of our side rails. Make sure that they are spaced evenly on both sides with the side rails so that the crossbars run perpendicular to your vehicle. Once you have the front crossbar in place, you can use the integrated tool on the end cap to tighten them down. The Crossroad feet attach to the factory side rails using a rubber coated steel band. This band will strongly and securely grip your side rails but the rubber coating will help protect them as well. As we tighten down the clamp on the Crossroad foot, it also tightens the crossbar into the foot. We will move back and forth from the driver side to the passenger side to make sure the rack tightens down evenly and we do not lose our positioning. 0:57 more
