To install the Thule Canyon Extension 8591, first assemble the extension according to the provided instructions. Attach it to the Thule Canyon roof basket by aligning the extension's brackets with the basket's frame. Securely fasten using the provided bolts and ensure all parts are tightly connected before placing it on your vehicle's roof bars.
If you encounter noise, check that all bolts and connections are tightly secured. Additionally, ensure that the load is evenly distributed and not exceeding the weight limit. Consider using wind fairings to reduce aerodynamic noise.
The Thule Canyon Extension 8591 is specifically designed for the Thule Canyon roof basket. Compatibility with other baskets is not guaranteed and could compromise safety.
Regularly check for any loose bolts or damage to the metal parts. Clean the extension with mild soap and water, and avoid using harsh chemicals. Store it in a dry place when not in use to prevent rusting.
The Thule Canyon Extension 8591, when used with the Thule Canyon roof basket, supports the same maximum load capacity as the basket itself. Always refer to the specific load capacity of your roof basket and vehicle recommendations.
No, installation of the Thule Canyon Extension 8591 requires basic tools such as a wrench and screwdriver to ensure all parts are securely fastened.
Adding the Thule Canyon Extension 8591 increases the aerodynamic drag, which may slightly reduce fuel efficiency. Keeping the extension and basket unloaded when not in use can help minimize this effect.
Before each use, check that all bolts are secure, inspect for any signs of wear or damage, and ensure that the load is properly secured and balanced on the extension.
While the extension can be left on the vehicle, it is recommended to remove and store it during extreme weather conditions or when not in use for extended periods to prevent wear and tear.
To reduce wind resistance, consider using an aerodynamic roof fairing designed for your vehicle. Additionally, keeping the extension unloaded and covered when not in use can help minimize drag.
