3:58 The locking mechanism has a torque setting which gives a sound click once it's reached and doesn't tighten any longer

[HolmsOnBikes]

I'm pretty sure the locking mechanisms have a torque limiter that lets you know exactly how tight to make them. That way you don't have to worry about over tightening them, because you can't lol. Great video!!

Great vid! IMHO general best practice is to not center mount it, but to have it aligned to one of the sides. I tend to put on driver side so it is easy for me to immediately get to it when I park. We use mostly for skiing, so either side works (no street side issues). But passenger side would make sense if you are going to load/unload on a street. Make sure it is aligned straight so you aren't bending it into a crosswind as you drive.

Thank you! My Thule arrived yesterday, putting it on with my wife today! Looks easy thanks to you!

Who downvotes this type of helpful stuff?

I need to get my rack attachments on first then order one of these. Looking to travel the country

[Jeschitown]

I'm locking clamps dont seem to make a clicking sound and ive tightened them pretty good is it still safe to use? Thanks

[hltsolo]

good job with the quick and simple instructions

[joerjgrnana]

best to install toward passenger side as opposed to middle. Easier to get to, and safe if need to get into box if on the side of the road

Im wanting to buy thos and install myself so this is very helpful. But im also worried about theft. Are all thule roof cargo force jeys the same? Like if somwone else had the same model roof carrier, could they get into mine if they used their keys?

Thanks it was a great video thanks for sharing it with us

[Scorpiomaj]

So it looks like the Thule units will mount on basically any normal shaped rack? The Thule rack is not available for my vehicle, but the Rhino Rack is available.

second video i've watched on this. USA must have totally different clamps to EU. Mine look nothing like that, they have a metal U piece with threads on the end, a plastic top bit, and two plastic knobs that you screw on to the u bolt.

I was thinking of getting this one as it will offer me the best overhead clearance in my parkade. I was curious, though, I need it just to carry a few odds and ends for camping, to free up space in the vehicle. Will the molded shapes (intended for skiis, I guess) be problematic...in the sense of giving less usable space? I guess by extension I'm also curious what is the "height" between the tops fo the molded parts to the top of the lid? Thanks!

[lindasue]

Thanks for this video! What sort of clearance do you need for the "claws" (between the claw and the rooftop)? Any danger of scratching the roof, or worse, not having room to maneuver the claws?

[melxx]

Hi, love the video wanted to know what size did you get?

[ninaandsakura]

I inherited an old box just like this but it didn’t come with those clamps... any suggestions?
