I'll preface this, with I'm not a professional writer but I will try to keep this as clear and concise as possible. This will be somewhat of a Living Document, until I can get all the info down on paper. Parts List: Thule 460 Podium Foot Pack: https://www.amazon.com/Thule-460-Podium-Foot-Pack/dp/B00152VYQ6/ Thule End Caps: https://www.amazon.com/Thule-EC1-Load-Caps-4-Pack/dp/B0002MBPD2 Thule Kit 3069: https://www.campmor.com/c/thule-podium-3069-fit-kit-74140 Thule Bars https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0007CZTW0 (I used 50" Bars to not have too much overhang) Tool List: Plastic Pry Tool Hex Key Set Painters/Masking Tape Tape Measure 3/8" Drill Bit & Drill YouTube Link: Step 1: Use pry tool to pry up plastic trim, measure distances between mounting points, depending on your roof rack decide what makes sense to use. There are 4 mounting points on each side two in the front and two in the rear. Step 2: Use the tape to line up where you're going to drill your 3/8" hole. Once your hole is lined-up, no more need for the tape. Step 3: Use the bolt post that came with the Podium Feet kit, tighten it down with the hex key. Step 4: Place plastic trim piece back and then place podium foot down over bolt. Step 5: Once the foot is installed place the cover over it and lock it in with the locking bolt. Step 6: After that tighten everything up and put on your end caps. And then install your rack. Don't tighten the feet all the way down until you have your bars in place, otherwise they can't slide from side to side.
You are awesome for this write up, I have spent a lot of time searching the internet for this exact information. Thanks for sharing! Sent from my iPhone using ToasterJeep mobile app
Awesome. I did the same with a Yakima Rack my brother gave me, but you, sir, are much better at write ups than I am. Same basic steps just different brand!
You by chance didn't measure how far the two holes are apart at the four locations did you? Just trying to gather some knowledge for when I build my own roof rack system. I have a sport as well and found a rack that is as wide as the roof and I was going to make my own mounts from flat steel and square tubing.
