Great video, big thanks 🙏

Best video I've seen on this subject

No nonsence, well explained, … good tip, great idea about using the torque-measuring device!! That takes away the stress :)

Glad it was helpful!

[@avidviewer1]

Very interesting. Thanks! So sorry to hear about your wrapping business failure (I laughed so much that I almost dropped my coffee!) 😂🤣😂

Casually adds in lets get cracking 😂

With just the empty bars, can you hear extra noise when driving?

[@SteveJulien]

Not really. It’s there a bit, but you have to listen for it. I’m just keeping them on for the summer.

What brand are the roof racks?

[@SteveJulien]

Tesla OEM (made for them by Yamika)

@@SteveJulien ok great thank you

Anyone else hear a small popping sound when tightening? My torque wrench is 33Nm+ so I only hand-tightened with the wrench in the same orientation as the video. Didn’t think I twisted too hard, but I’m also a climber with strong forearms so “finger tight” might mean something different to me. No visible cracks. I’m hoping it was just the metal brackets rubbing against the edge of the glass, which is rough.

Minutes after I posted this a neighbor got home and said he had a smaller torque wrench. I was just under 2.5Nm but even when tightening it a little more my neighbor and I heard the sound even before the ratcheting torque wrench clicked. What the heck is that? I worry I unseated the adhesive for the glass to the frame or something. Tesla has no customer service so no idea who else to talk to.

[@SteveJulien]

Don’t worry, as long as you didn’t over tighten, all should be fine. I got some ‘sounds’ when I fitted mine. Just the way it is I think. You’re right, as a climber, don’t judge your ‘finger tight’ on anyone else’s scale 😂

[@clubstew]

Out of precaution we took it in and the person said they used to do mobile installs and heard it often. Nothing was over-torqued. They really should warn people in the instructions!

[@jepcart4906]

The torque for this one 2.5 nm-3.5 NM maximum

[@andreljungberg4255]

Simple, is definitely not! But safe, I agree it is if doing right. As with the tow bar, the Tesla “solution” is far from optimal…
