Proper installation is crucial for the safety and performance of your Thule roof rack system. This kit is designed for vehicles with flush railings, allowing for a secure clamp-on attachment without permanent modifications.

1. Vehicle-Specific Fit Kit: Always refer to the Thule Buyer's Guide to confirm that this specific kit (Kit Flush Rail 6020) is compatible with your vehicle make and model. The kit includes instructions with precise measurements (e.g., 'W' and 'Z' dimensions) for correct bar placement relative to your car's windshield and between the bars.
2. Accessing the Clampമെക്കാനിസം: The Thule foot pack features a cover plate, often secured with a coin-slot mechanism. Use a coin or appropriate tool to turn and pop off this cover to access the internal tightening mechanism.
3. Securing the Foot Pack: Use the provided tool to loosen or tighten the internal bolts. This action adjusts the clamp that grips your vehicle's flush rail. Ensure the rubber pads on the feet are correctly positioned to protect your vehicle's paintwork and provide a firm grip.
4. Even Pressure Distribution: When installing, it is important to alternate tightening the clamps on both sides of the vehicle to ensure even pressure distribution. This prevents damage to your vehicle and ensures the roof rack is securely mounted.
5. ആക്സസറി ഇന്റഗ്രേഷൻ: The Thule Wingbar Evo system, which this kit supports, often features T-slot compatibility. This allows for easy sliding and securing of various accessories like bike racks or ski carriers directly into the bar's channel, providing a clean and integrated look.
6. Optional Security: Locking cylinders can be purchased separately and installed into the foot pack to deter theft and provide additional security for your roof rack system.

Once installed, your Thule roof rack system is ready for use. Always ensure that any accessories (e.g., kayak carriers, cargo boxes) are properly attached to the crossbars according to their individual instructions. Distribute weight evenly and do not exceed the maximum load capacity of your roof rack or vehicle.

Regularly check the tightness of all mounting bolts and connections, especially after the first few drives and before long journeys, to ensure continued security.
