• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Hello. I have had cross bars on my Telluride since I bought it in 2020 but recently took them off to gain a different look. I decided to put them back on again, but for some reason, well, I can't get them to latch to the roof rails. When I tighten the bolts it pushes the clamps upward dislodging them from the roof rails and not having a tight fit. Has anyone else had experience with this? Am I missing something? All the videos I watch make it look so straight forward it feels like i'm missing something. Not sure if the mounting brackets became bent over the years etc. Any guidance would be appreciated.
 
Can you please share a picture of the bottom of the cross bars. That will help tell if you are missing parts or maybe just installing them wrong. I am attaching picture of the installation instructions. Just in case
