Replying to: abryce41 (Feb 10, 2008 7:11 pm) I do have some advice. 1. The picture looks like they are removing the front. This is incorrect. You only need to remove the back covers. 2. Even with the retaining clip depressed, you still need to give it a good hard whack straight back (away from the van). I used a wooden paint stick and put it inside the rail groove. Tapping it with a screwdriver is not hard enough, you need to thump it pretty hard. I actually used a small rubber mallet. It did not damage the retaining clip. 3. Do not try to pry the cover up. It will crack. 4. Do not climb on top of the van. If it is like mine, it will dent pretty easily.   Good Luck

Replying to: pam31 (Apr 06, 2009 6:19 am) I was just wondering how your trip went. I just bought same bag and have a Pathfinder with only side rails. I find the instructions confusing as it seems as if they are telling you to mount the bag between the front support and center support, but the picture looks as if the anchoring ring is BEHIND the center support. I'm confused. Ten hour drive for us tomorrow and I was hoping to figure this out!

This cargo bag requires cross bars OR rails     http://www.carspace.com/bigdadi118/Albums/bigdadi118%27s%20Album/Yakima_GetoutCa- rgoBag.jpg/page/photo.html#pic Replies to this message: pam31 (May 15, 2009 5:07 am)

Replying to: bigdadi118 (May 14, 2009 6:56 pm) I actually bought a Thule cargo bag but I was also confused about that because in the Thule instructions, it looked the same way. I figured out that I was imagining the front of the car on the wrong end (the picture wasn't clear). I bet I read the instructions ten times! I finally figured it out by paying more attention to the fact that on mine, the zipper goes in the back so that if you unzip all the way and flip it open, the flap falls toward the front windshield. Anyway, I attached the cargo bag very tightly using only side straps (2 on each side) and it was fine for the 5 hour trip - except that it rained and it isn't waterproof. A few things got soggy. Also no problem on the drive home. Good luck!
#41 of 41 Roof Rack, CrossBars Damaging Pilot by vindiesel1 Dec 02, 2009 (6:08 am)
Hi all,   Just bought a 2010 Pilot EX-L. I am concerned about some of the earlier posts about the roof rack w/ cross bars causing stress dents on the Pilot panels. Any more info on this. Is this a safe design? Any loading limitations.   Thanks, Diesel
