Full details
The Thule Fitting Kit 141848 is an essential component designed for owners of the Renault Scenic MK IV (2017-2020) who need to install a roof rack system on a vehicle with a bare, normal roof.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the 141848 kit requires the Thule Rapid 754 Foot Pack. Start by reading the specific installation manual included with the kit, as the clamping force and positioning are critical for safety.
- Ensure the door frames are clean and free of debris before clamping.
- Use the provided torque tool to tighten the foot pack to the manufacturer-specified tension.
- Verify that the rubber pads sit flush against the car body.
For care, check the mounting points every 500 miles during long trips. Clean the rubber pads with mild soap and water annually to prevent dirt buildup from causing micro-abrasions on the car's finish. Store the kit in a dry, temperate environment when not in use during the winter months.
