Fitting Universal Roof Bars on a Toyota Rav 4

Model: Toyota Rav 4 MK 4, Xa40 - Years 2013-2018
Part: Roof rack bars

Let's see how to fit universal roof bars on a Toyota Rav 4. Universal roof bars are used on cars with and without roof rails (fixed bars secured to the car roof). Install the roof bar kit as shown in the video, using bars calibrated to the width of the car. Position the brackets at both ends of the car doors. Once the width of the anchoring brackets is adjusted, tighten the pins with the butterfly bolt (if a lock is present) until they are fully secured to the roof rails of the car. Finally, apply the safety caps on both sides.
