Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of this system requires the included proprietary Thule tools to ensure the torque limits are met on the foot pack.
- Assemble the feet and fitment kit according to the included manual.
- Position the bars onto the designated factory mounting points on the VW ID. Buzz roof rails.
- Tighten the foot pack until the integrated torque indicator clicks to ensure correct clamping force.
- Check all bolts after the first 50 miles of driving.
To care for your system, regularly inspect the rubber T-track filler strips. These should be trimmed to fit between accessories to maintain aerodynamic efficiency and prevent whistling at high speeds. Periodically wash the bars with mild soap and water to remove road salt or debris, especially after winter travel.
