Excellent Video!!! I was able to order covers and pack away my cross bars in a box for safe storing. I even referenced the torque settings on the storage box for future install. I greatly enjoy how thorough this video is. Much appreciated!

Thank you for the kind words!

I greatly appreciate it. I was so annoyed by the wind noise and mpg was impaceted as well. My used RAV4 had no kit, so your part numbers are extremely helpful. Thank you.

[@maxmaxed2887]

I did! Just to clarify, the bolts do not need to go back in though? I am worried about water coming in through the holes

[@DoItTogether2022]

@@maxmaxed2887 There are plastic covers on the rail. I haven’t used the bolts, not sure they would fit? I guess if they fit it wouldn’t hurt?

Excellent and succinct. Ty!

[@richd7468]

thank you for making the video, very helpful. Where did you order the garnish covers from? I bought my prime and it only had the one plastic socket but no covers. Thanks for the part numbers. Just wondering if they came in a kit somewhere?

[@DoItTogether2022]

@@richd7468 The plastic covers were included when I purchased the vehicle (new from dealer). They were in a plastic bag that included the tools). If yours are missing you can probably get them from the dealer.

Interesting design... seems like all kinds of rain/snow/dirt would get past that plastic cover with no gasket.

[@uttrekr]

Does the cover have its own gasket? Worried about leak risk.

[@DoItTogether2022]

No, it does not.

Do you know if harm can be done if there is no gasket? What will leak?

[@DoItTogether2022]

@@shaqirapippen1404 I haven’t had any issues but I have no direct knowledge of the subject, sorry.

Certainly better than the "instructions" that came with the tools from dealer, nice.

Can I use this for a snowboard or do I have to remove it and I stall another type?

[@DoItTogether2022]

I’m sorry I don’t know the answer, hopefully someone else will have more knowledge about that.
