Thule roof rack instructions

http://www.thuleracks.com/instructio...06,%202041.pdf

Which one is a 2006 IX gsr?

Lancer Cedia 4dr 00- or the Lancer 4dr 02-?

I am thinking the second one.

Please only answer if you have used this rack before. I am trying to figure how far apart the towers should be and if I need to use the part# 03.

Thanks in advance

Here is a pic of my Thule roof rack system.

I love it.

Hope you like it.

Its a Thule roof rack system with a snowboard/ski holder on top.

Take your time you don't wanna scratch it up your car too.


MY OPINION

So I wax the top of my roof of my car really good

I also use a peace of clear 3m tape low adhesive.

And I place the peace of tape between the roof and the rubber pad.

Sticky side facing the paint it will be easy too pull off, if you remember to put a coat

of wax on top of the roof first. just too be safe with the car.

When your done with the rack system if you get any scratches just buff it off with

more wax, If you put a coat of wax on it first if you remember.

And have fun don't tighten it to tight either you can damage the roof of your car trust

me lol

I can give you all the specs #s if you like
