All You Need to Know About Setting Up Roof Racks
Installing a roof rack is the easiest way to transport kayaks, bicycles, or cargo boxes for your weekend excursions. For your Chrysler Pacifica, these rails provide the foundation for all your overhead storage needs. Here's how you can get started with roof racks.
How to Install Your New Roof Rack
1. Clean the Mounting Zone
Thoroughly wash the roof channels to remove grit and salt.
2. Identify Front and Rear Bars
Check the labels on each bar; the front crossbar is often wider than the rear.
3. Align the Anchor Feet
Position the mounting feet over the factory-provided bolt holes under the roof channel trim.
4. Secure Primary Fasteners
Hand-start the bolts to ensure they are not cross-threaded.
5. Torque to Factory Spec
Use the included torque wrench to tighten the bolts until you hear a "click".
