Thule 1009 Fit Kit for 480 Traverse and 480R Traverse Foot Pack Review

I installed racks for an outdoor store for several years, both Yakima and Thule. The fix-points found in some car models make this process much easier, and Thule's Fit Kits allow their different rack feet (460, 460R, etc) to mount to those fix-point systems.

Thule's website specified the 3080 Fit Kit for our 2010 Mazda5, so I ordered it here even though I knew the stock photo Amazon was using could not be correct as the bracket shown would never fit the Mazda5. I was right, as the 3080 Fit Kit I received looked different from the photo but fit the car perfectly.

Installation literally took 15 minutes from the time I opened the boxes.

To Install:
-Slide the 460 Podium Feet onto the bars
-Attach the Thule Fit Kit brackets to their bases (they just click in)
-Attach the Thule Fit Kit brackets to the Podium Feet with the supplied screws, but do not tighten
-Screw the supplied Fix Point screws into your vehicles Fix Points (follow Thule's directions)
-Set the Podium Feet over the Fix Point screws
-Adjust the crossbars so they stick out evenly on both sides, then fully tighten the Fit Kit screws to the Podium Feet
-Put the supplied hardware (lock washer and nut in my case) onto the Fix Point screw, and fully tighten
-Place the locks into the Podium Feet covers and lock them onto the Podium Feet, pop the end caps onto the bars

This system eliminates a TON of measuring and making the minute adjustments that racks such as Yakima's Q-towers require. Of course your vehicle needs the Fix Point attachments to make use of this system, but it's a very solid system and makes rack installation very easy.
