Rack installation, simplified
By AmericanHoney
I installed racks for an outdoor store for several years, both Yakima and Thule. The fix-points found in some car models make this process much easier, and Thule's Fit Kits allow their different rack feet (460, 460R, etc) to mount to those fix-point systems.
Thule's website specified the 3080 Fit Kit for our 2010 Mazda5, so I ordered it here even though I knew the stock photo Amazon was using could not be correct as the bracket shown would never fit the Mazda5. I was right, as the 3080 Fit Kit I received looked different from the photo but fit the car perfectly.
Installation literally took 15 minutes from the time I opened the boxes.
To Install:
-Slide the 460 Podium Feet onto the bars
-Attach the Thule Fit Kit brackets to their bases (they just click in)
-Attach the Thule Fit Kit brackets to the Podium Feet with the supplied screws, but do not tighten
-Screw the supplied Fix Point screws into your vehicles Fix Points (follow Thule's directions)
-Set the Podium Feet over the Fix Point screws
-Adjust the crossbars so they stick out evenly on both sides, then fully tighten the Fit Kit screws to the Podium Feet
-Put the supplied hardware (lock washer and nut in my case) onto the Fix Point screw, and fully tighten
-Place the locks into the Podium Feet covers and lock them onto the Podium Feet, pop the end caps onto the bars
This system eliminates a TON of measuring and making the minute adjustments that racks such as Yakima's Q-towers require. Of course your vehicle needs the Fix Point attachments to make use of this system, but it's a very solid system and makes rack installation very easy.

Fits like a glove
By M. Bittle
The 3069 fit kit worked great with the 460R mounting system on my 2010 Mazda Speed3. Easy to install and fit like a glove.

Good product, but mispackaged items.
By Jamie
Overall this is a pretty good product. Putting it together, once I was able to decipher the pictures-only instructions, was fairly easy, even for one person. It helped that I was able to locate a "how to" video online on how to install.
The only issue I had was three of the four clips were the correct size for my vehicle. However, the fourth clip was too small. I don't know if this was an Amazon issue or a Thule issue, but I had to ship the product back to Amazon.
EDIT: I realized that there wasn't a mispackaging issue. It turns out that there were two smaller clips and two larger clips. The smaller ones are for the front rack bar while the larger ones go on the back bar. So overall good product, though Thule needs to do a better job on their instructions, like using actual words and making clear which clips go where.
