While having a bike roof rack on top of your Ford Territory sounds like a great idea to you, there’s a chance you might have reservations about adding one. This could be due to you thinking that such a rack might be difficult to install.
The truth is that it’s not all that hard to get Ford Territory roof racks installed. You can quickly take care of your rack so long as you follow the right rules for doing so. This includes ensuring that the rack you are installing is one that is actually made with your specific Territory model in mind.
Get Your Rails Applied
To start, you have to get the rails on your bike roof rack aligned with the supports. This means you would have to remove the covers off of any supports and then secure the rails inside of them. The key is to have two rails with two supports on their ends. These supports will help to keep the bars intact.
Review the Sides of the Territory
After the rails are secured, you have to look at the sides of the Territory. Look at how you are going to apply the rails over the roof of the vehicle. You must position the rails in a spot where they are close enough to each other to where you can support whatever you want to carry on top but not too close.
Check the Supports Inside the Doors
You must look at the supports that you will get inside the doors of your Territory. The bases for the rails will be secured in the top parts of your doors.
You will need to get some screws or fasteners applied around the bases. These will help to keep them in place and in a slim spot where the doors will not be obstructed. The key is to have them aligned to where the doors will not get in the way and that they can safely be closed and opened.
Your roof rack should be fully installed at this point. You can use this process for many Ford Territory roof racks but do make sure that you are cautious when getting one ready.
