Mopar should pay you for this video. The written instructions were completely worthless, but your instructions were perfect.
haha! thanks man. Maybe I should make more videos.
This was an incredible help. The instructions were in fact worthless. I could not have done it without this video. Thank you for your help.
Thanks, friend. The hint about applying soap to the rubber strip was very helpful.
One additional aid for some:
I tried to insert the rubber gaskets in my cold garage (45deg f). The material is not easily handled at hat temp, soap or no soap. I solved that with my wife’s hair dryer set on high. 30 seconds of focused heat and the gaskets slip right in.
Thanks again for a great video.
I was struggling when trying to follow the instructions, and after watching your video, I had it on in no time at all. Thank you!
Glad I could help!
Very good vid. The roof rack whistling is not normal. I installed the Mopar rack on my wife’s 2018 Jeep Compass. I had the same whistle on test drive and came home and tore apart the box and found 2 smalls pieces of plastic that fit into a channel at the bottom side of the cross bar. Once those gaps were filled with the plastic strips the whistle literally went away. It may be different scenarios because they’re different vehicle models but it’s still Mopar so may be worth looking in to. If you have any open channel or holes on the bottom side of the cross bars it will create a whistle. Hope this helps somebody.
Thanks for the info!
As far as the whistling goes, make sure the bars are on the right side and facing the right direction. One is for the front and one is for the back. They both need to be facing a certain way.
I haven't taken mine for a drive yet, but the install was quick and easy on my 2019 GC. Took about 15 minutes total, which included putting the rubber strips on and trimming them to fit (mine were both about an inch too long). I knew the video would be good when you said to throw the instructions the f**k away! Thanks!
You are right! The instructions included are useless. Thank you so much for making this video. I’m not sure i would have been able to install them myself with out it.
Glad they helped!
Thank you for making this video! I couldn't have installed them without it!
Thanks for the video. It is much helpful.
Helpfull video - Thanks! I put back rack on backwards and thought I was in a Noreaster at 60 mph. Changed position and noise is much less. Noise is minimal now - just have to plug gap on mounting brackets to see how quiet I can get it....
Glad the video helped! Thanks for the comment
Thanks! On my 2017 GC the bolts holding the chrome rails to the roof are not 100% in parallel (front right is about 3/4” further back than the left one) so while I used them, I did have a little finagling to do.
I just received mine via Fed Ex. I have watched your video several times to prep! Here's to a (hopefully) stress free installation! Thanks for this video. #Mopar & #Jeep #Chrysler should be paying you for this lol! Anxious to install!
JenniferG1973 good luck :)
Very helpful. without video didn't know to keep inside nut snug and only loosen outside. Thanks.
skidmh thank you. Glad I can help.
Perfect. Thank you!
Thank you. That was very useful. Totally agree about those instructs thanks for making us laugh regarding the instructions.
thanks for the imfo. no noise or whistle ,good radio will help i'm sure..............Bllie Gee
No problem :)
excellent directions - worked great on my 2011 Grand Cherokee!
The front bar "feet" may be on back to front, the sloping surface is facing rearward and the flat surface facing forward. My way of thinking is the sloping surface should be facing into the wind, thus reducing wind noise. I don't know if this is right but could be something to check on.
Thank you very much for helping!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for posting this video. I put my rack on today and your instructions were spot on!!
Appreciate the video! Was able to install my cross bars easily. Thanks!
Olivia Bilodeau No problem! Thanks for the comment. I’m glad I could help :)
Very helpful! Much better than the useless instruction that came with the bars.
Jeremy Aker thanks! I’m glad I could help you out.
I wonder if pipe insulation would do the same?
Thanks for the post it was a great help in deciding if these would be a good purchase for me.
Great instructions. You are absolutely correct the included instructions are garbage.
Great Video, thanks a lot brotha!! Helped tremendously.
Great Video, Thanks! As you say instructions are worthless
I installed the exact same unit on my Grand Cherokee. Whistled so much I had to take it off
Has anyone found an optimal spot to reduce whistling?
Does anyone know if the Yakima Fatcat 6 Ski rack will work with the Mopar Cross bars for a 2013 WK2?
I split a small size noodle from the dollar store and put it on just the forward bar. Whistling gone. I had tried tape on the "towers" since they are scooped in on the inside. That did not help. Us d zip ties on noodle which only covers the front half of utility bar.
Richard Raborn Great idea. Thanks for the input.
Added a wrap or clear Gorrilla Tape under zip ties and noodle is lasting longer. Yes, it survived car multiple washes
Thanks bro!
Igor Liner no problem man! Thanks for watching!
Thanks.....
Anytime! Thanks for the comment.
lol I like the video very informative dam instructions hey ahah
Sorry if I missed it but do you have the part number to these bars?
Thanks! Those written instructions were useless.
No problem! Glad I could help. Thanks for the comment.
thanks man
no part number?
jajajajaja test drive ?
Has anyone ever done a load test on these? Is 150 the real max?
I've had quite a bit on there.. close to if not over max and it was fine.
Easy for some one to steal, no?
I guess if somebody wants to steal cheap roof racks that only fit one specific model of vehicle, it would be pretty easy. I wouldn't let that deter you from buying them though. Most things are fairly easy to steal.
My point is I just purchased these (for about $250) and mount expensive fishing gear on them. The rod holders are secure, the rods and reels are secure, but what’s stopping some one from just taking the whole damn crossbar off? I may have to rethink it is all
@@joededonato6218 the older style (11-13 I believe) had locks. Not sure why molar did away with them.
