Every once in a while, a roof rack install doesn't go quite as smoothly as you'd hoped. Maybe you dropped a bolt  on the ground and it ran and hid in a deep, dark corner of your garage. Maybe you measured in centimeters instead of inches (don't laugh-it's only funny until YOU do it). Maybe you missed a step in the instructions. Or maybe your rack just needs a little fine ...
