Here, I teach you how to install this multi-purpose base roof rack on the bare roof of your car. I am showing you on my 06 Prius, but this will work for a range on specified vehicles. This system includes two Thule Evo WingBar load bars, four Thule Evo clamps/feet, and a fit kit(the one modeled is specific to my car). Locks are recommended - I show you how to install those. Also, how to adjust if measurements are off.

Outstanding

@lastboomerstanding47 3 года назад

Thank you ! About to install my identical Thule rack on my 13 Prius plug-in. Really a 3 rd gen Prius unlike your 2nd gen that requires a 5001 fit kit instead of your gen 2 version. My rack came from Rack Attack who have a great website and staff who educated me through the process. Now you know the fit kit you need if you ever upgrade to a sexier Gen 3. By the way, you have a magic way of transforming the mambo jumbo from an instruction sheet to complete sense. Thanks, love!!

@jnv1971 3 года назад

I'm guessing you've noticed by now, but you made a mistake at 3:27. The foot pads are paired diagonally in the instructions, not across from each other as you did it. Might be a contributing factor to why your measurements were off when you installed them.

@markchapin7149 3 года назад

A very informative video. One thing to keep in mind with the Thule rack system is that the instructions are not descriptive. The instructions are images and symbols. Pay close attention to the numbering for the foot pads clamps and how they work together. It appears at least for my Toyota Prius prime that each foot pad goes with a separate numbered clamp in the whole system seems to work together well then

Haha that’s awesome. Same! I couldn’t believe how off they were either!

@stupidas9466 2 месяца назад

⁠@@NikkiDelventhalthe measurements were not off. You installed it incorrectly as the 134's should have been installed diagonally as well as the 133's. You installed them across. Look at the video around the 3:14 mark

Good job, Nikki... But when you were at the kitchen talking about the rubber pads, instructions says 134 FL and RR, and 133 FR and RL... and it seems you put 134s in the front and 133s in the back... Maybe all of them are the same and doesn't care... Who knows... One thing I know instructions is the last thing I check, sometimes I never reallze they come in the box...😂 Cheers, and thx for sharing these videos... 👍

@louietramposch4559 8 месяцев назад

Thule is the best 🤟👽🎬

@lastboomerstanding999 3 года назад

Thule makes the best racks. They are the OEM brand for virtually all makes. Got your setup fromRackattack.com. Great supplier and yes it’s more expensive than trying to save $400 if you can find them on Kijiji. Unlike yours, mine is a 3rd Gen that required a different fit kit for each Prius gen has a different roofline so different kit. Fitting is extremely important on a bare roof unlike The situation with SUVs that usually have cross rails built in. BTW your locking kit like mine came with 3 keys: a pair to lock and unlock the rack snd most importantly a PASS KEY that is needed to install the locking mechanism. Thule’s instructions and your video talk of using a key to set the locks in place. In reality, as I found out after 1/2 of wasted time, the 2 identical keys don’t work when you try to install the locks. Other than that missing step, your install instructions are dead on. Just maybe just my dementia prevented me from seeing the obvious! Thanks

@geraldarcuri9307 Год назад

One of the best DIY videos on RU-vid! I've fitted many Thule racks in the past, but I was confused by the one I bought for my 2019 VW PASSAT. This video, clear, step-by-step with superb tips to avoid pitfalls, helped me breeze through this installation. Thank you sooooooo much!

@jessyysm Год назад

I loved the video! could you share where you bought the roof rack? I also have a prius and I'm not finding one that works

@stevengormely3543 2 года назад

At around 3:30 you put both 134 fit kit pieces on the front doors, when the instructions say otherwise. 134 FL, 133 FR, 133 RL, 134 RR. Right after you went over them, doh! lol

@michaelbrinks8089 3 года назад

Many Prius's can tow up to 1500 lbs which means you could bring tow along a lot of camping/living gear in a small cargo trailer. Even a small cargo trailer with say, 500 lbs of stuff is a lot of extra things one could travel with. I think the Prius needs a couple 100 watts of solar on the roof & hood to help keep the battery recharged.

@jabespangs Год назад

Any tips/videos on how to remove an old fit kit? I bought a used roof rack and bought the fit kit specific for my car.

@maartenbrand155 2 года назад

Handy! Especially the measurements thing was looking around for my Audi where measures where weird. So thought I made a mistake ordering them. Didn't find one and did what you did but was a little anxious i was doing it wrong. Looks like I am in good company with others experiencing the same. Greetz from the Netherlands 🦸🏼‍♂️👍☀️👋

@MrTh3B0b 3 года назад

Great video. Question: around 3:10 the directions show the fit kit crossed (ie FL 134, FR 133) but you grouped both 134s for the front and both 133s for the back. Is this a mistake you found in the directions (which seems likely...i would guess like numbers would be front/rear) or was it an oops in your video?

@NikkiDelventhal 3 года назад

Hmmm, I will check this out later when I have time and confirm. Could be either as I did this a long time ago. Hopefully not a mistake on my part but hey, were not perfect!

@robertbuck7186 6 месяцев назад

nice tutorial.. nice to see how to fit it on there when the directions tell of dimensinos that do not exactly work right....

@stupidas9466 2 месяца назад

The dimensions were correct. She installed both 134's on the front and the 133's on the rear, when it clearly showed in the directions that they were to be diagonally, ie 134's on front left and right rear, and the 133's on the front right and left rear. Her mistake, not Thule's. See video at 03:14
