Today on our 2015 Fiat 500 we're going to be doing a test fit of the Thule Archway XT. This is going to be your two-bike carrier that mounts of the trunk of your vehicle, part number TH9009XT. It will fasten with six of these cam locks and hooks, one on each side and two on the top, as well as two on the bottom. There is a nice rubber coating over it so when you slide it over through the cracks, whether it's on your trunk or on the side here, then it won't scratch your paint or damage the vehicle. They do come with extra-long straps, so always make sure to tie up that excess and fasten down and tighten all your cam locks. To tighten up your cam locks, you just simply pull on one end, pulling the excess out. If you pull here, then you can simply pull out that excess on this side. Once you have it tight and secure, fasten up and secure all your excess. Up top here you'll see this long shaped lever.

For this particular one we're going to have to set it at 10 and to do so, I'll show you how. If you look on the backside here you'll see 2 clamps and this will be on that upper arm.
