Today on our 2013 Ford Transit Connect, we're going to be test fitting the Heavy Duty Rhino Rack Roof Rack Kit, designed specifically for the Transit. We're going to have 4 foot packs included in the kit. We'll have 4 m8 bolts, each one was going to have an O-ring, a flat washer and a locking washer. We'll have 8 m6 bolts, which will have a flat washer and a locking washer. We'll have our security tool as well as 2 bars and the top half of our foot packs. Now, we'll have 2 of the longer foot packs and 2 of the shorter foot packs. Now, to begin our test fit, we're going to grab the 2 passenger's side foot packs. We'll grab 2 of our m8 bolts, and our tool, and head over to the car. We'll open the passenger's side slider. On top of the vehicle you'll see you've got nice large black bolts located at each of the 4 connection points. That's going to make it very nice for us. When we mount our foot packs, we want the arrow facing forward. We'll drop the m8 bolt through the center, place it right down where we just removed that bolt and tighten it down with the included tool. Now, as we put these on, we do want these to be running parallel with the lines in the roof. That will ease the bar installation when we get to that in just a minute or two. With the front secure, we'll remove the rear, place our foot pack down on that. Again, we're going to place the m8 bolt through and we'll thread this on in as well. With both the bolts on the passenger's side done, we'll close this door, grab the 2 driver's side foot packs, the 2 remaining m8 bolts that we have, and we're essentially going to repeat that same process here. Now, again, you want to keep in mind the arrows on the foot packs should be facing forward. That'll give us the proper contour since the roof line does have a little bit of an angle to it. That's going to ensure that the crossbars are sitting nice and level for us. This is really a pretty quick and easy system to get mounted on the car. There's only one spot that any of these bolts are going to fit so it's easy to get it right the first time. Make sure my arrow's facing forward, place it down on, and secure it. With all 4 of our foot packs in place, we're going to grab our front bar. We'll place it up onto the front roof line of our vehicle. The front bar is going to be the longer set of legs. Keep that in mind. You may have a little bit of a confusion about that, but grab that longer set of foot packs like we talked about earlier. I've got 2 of my m6 bolts. When I first install this, I like to do it loosely. That way it will give us plenty of room for adjustment. We'll get these started in there. With those started, let's go over the the driver's side and get this foot pack lined up as well. This is also a good time to take a look to be sure we have equal overhang on both sides. With the overhang being equal, we'll now place 2 m6 bolts through on this side, then we'll tighten them down. With the driver's side secure we'll go to the passenger's side and tighten these down. Let's take one more quick look to be sure we have equal bar overhang, which we do. We can then tighten down the larger bolts located here on the underside. With both sides secure, you can see we've got a nice firm lock on our cradles there. We'll now grab our rear bar. Place it onto the rear roof line. Again, we're going to align it with our foot packs, take our m6 bolts, place them down through. Just hand start them first, until we get everything lined up where we want it, and then we'll tighten them up with our tool. We're going to take another look. Check and make sure the bar is centered and we can tighten our m6 bolts down. With all 4 of those secure, we'll go ahead and tighten down our larger bolts located here on the other side. With all 4 of our larger bolts secure, we're ready to attach a few accessories and we can get heading down the road. That will complete today's test fit of the Rhino Rack Heavy Duty Roof Rack System for the Ford Transit, part number RLZ01-DC on our 2013 Ford Transit Connect. .
