When installing the cross bars, does the wider crossbar go in front or back?

I'm not sure. I just looked at our car, and the front bar seems a little wider than the rear. Do you have the installation instructions? If not, you might be able to find them online.

I'm assuming you're talking about the crossbars that connect the left rail to the right rail. It does. They are the parts that stow away. One of the crossbars is already attached to one of the rails and the other one has to be attached during mounting. Very simple install.

I put mine where the one water bottle goes on the front upright tube. Did not want it under the crossbar since that is where the bike rides when it is on the bike rack back of my Jeep Wrangler. If you don't transport your bike on a vehicle I see no reason why it would not work on the crossbar.

If you look on each one it will have a R (right) or L (left). Just install them on the correct side.

Hi Chris, If you have Thule Square Crossbars, then you can install a Thule Fairing and the 594XT. The 594XT will stick out past the front bar as well as the fairing.Thank you for the inquiry and have a great day!

Same as the others. You need to install on the cross bars not the side rails.

I have a 2011 also. It comes with the rails that run front to rear but didn't come with the cross bars. The rails that run front to back just look like black trim until you get up and look on top of the vehicle. You'll notice there are four bolts on each side holding them on the roof. Hard to see unless your above it. These work great. I am really happy with the look and quality of these cross bars on my 2011 nitro.

You can loosen, adjust and re-tighten the cross bars to what you need. I slid mine as far front and back they could go.

Width of roof rack will determine but in most applications the answer is yes providing you alternate bike rack directions (example from left to right: #1 & #3 handlebars face front if car and #2 & #4 face car 'a rear).

I remove the front crossbar on my Pilot as the bag fits between the side bars but not the front and rear crossbars. By removing on the front one, the back one is still there to prevent the bag from sliding backwards.

On my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee the cross bars attached directly on top / flush with the side rail edges with an allen screw under a plug, to where you had to figure out how it locked into position. This made it harder for anyone to rip off. On my 2006 Jeep Commander the cross bars sit on a block, which sits on the side rails. This makes the cross bars stand up higher and not as cosmetically streamlined as the Grand Cherokee was. Also there is a Knob that tightens the cross bars at each end, on top which makes it easy for any one to remove easily. The knob also sticks up above the cross bars an does not look that Great. The Grand Jeep cross bars fit flush on top of the side rails with nothing perturbing up from the ends. The side tracks have an opening down the center where a screw with a hook on the bottom goes through the block, into the opening (grove) and Hooks under an offset in the opening. The cross bars set down on Top of the bolt / block assembly and the hand Knob tightens down on top of the cross bar. This is the best I can describe it with out sketching it.

Not sure what you mean by front or back, but depending on whether the tweeters are on the outside vs. the inside when mounted can cause the sound field to be narrow or wider. Personally I run mine on the outside for a wider sound field. JBL states about the L820, " A wider stereo image is presented with the tweeter/midrange array outboard and a tighter image is presented with the array inboard." See the comments to this answer, the individual is using them as rear surrounds for a 5.1 system.

If you have a rack with cross bars you should be fine. You need cross bars ( ones going across roof, not just along roof line front to back ) they clasp onto the bars across the roof.

It is just the two cross bars. My Subaru Crosstrek already had the sidebars.

None, works great. It is not adjustable front to back, it is fixed location as by design of the car's mounting holes. But, I've already hauled things so large they were over the front and rear bumpers, no problems.

There is not any wasted space in the box. It runs as long as the crossbars do and probably 3-4 inches high. Real easy to install too. There is a video on youtube that was very helpful. The best way to remove the back covers of the rail is with the little paint can opener they sell at hoke depot.

When I was putting it on the back bar didn't align perfectly. That said, if you put all the bolts in loosely and tighten them you will not have a problem. I wouldn't let this issue stop you from buying the racks, but I was glad I knew about it when I was putting them on. They look so much better than the other general fit crossbars that are out there.
