Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install these holders, first identify the correct orientation (left or right side) as marked on the components. Use the provided fittings to secure the holder to your existing Thule Elite XT G2 rail. Ensure all bolts are tightened to the recommended specification to prevent loosening due to road vibrations. For care, we recommend periodically rinsing the buckles with fresh water to remove road salt or debris, especially after long trips. Do not use harsh chemical cleaners; a mild soap and water solution is sufficient to maintain the integrity of the plastic straps and metal buckles. Before each trip, conduct a quick inspection to ensure the pump buckles are clicking firmly into place and the straps show no signs of fraying.
