2002 - 2007 Saturn Vue Crossbars Roof Rack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I also found the instructions and pictures very misleading. I hope the following will help make the job easier. It took about 45 minutes to complete the installation. I do like the product
Saturn VUE 2002 & Up Without Roof Rails
*** USE THE TOOL PROVIDED WITH THE KIT
Check all parts.
Remove the four (4) screws from both roof rails at positions 3, and either 4 or 5 or 6 using a star bit screw driver. Save the screws in case you wish to remove the cross bars at a later date. I removed the four screws to ensure that I would not have a problem in the middle of the installation.
Lift about 3" of the vinyl piece at each end of the crossbar to provide access to the holes.
Attach the larger end pieces to the cross bar using the black screw, flat washer and self locking nut***. The self locking (small) part of the nut should be away from the screw. Tighten but not too much. About ¼" of the screw should extend beyond the nut.
Carefully screw the 2 longer standoffs into the holes in position 3. You will have to use a socket. Do not over tighten.
Place the crossbars over the two standoffs and using the two shorter screws with a lock washer secure the end pieces to the standoffs***. If you raise the end piece about a ¼" from the roof rail, it will be easier to insert the screw. Again do not over tighten.
Insert the smaller end cap into the end piece. Secure the end cap using a chrome set screw***.
Secure the vinyl into both ends.

If you raise the end piece about a ¼" from the roof rail, it will be easier to insert the screw. The screws should be tight. If not, add additional flat washers. Again do not over tighten.

Check that the crossbars are tight.
You may hear a slight air sound that was not apparent before.
