Frontrunner Slimline Rack Question

Could anyone who owns a Frontrunner slimline rack please confirm if the Three Feet that attach to the roof rails are all the same height, or are the ones at the front of the roof rail slighty longer.

cheers Bow down

If that's the same as the "windcheetah" slimline, then yes; 3 legs each side with 1 longer for over the front "cab".

I'll dig out the fitting sheet and post in in the gallery tonight - see if it contains the detail you want, as I no longer have the rack.

Thumbs Up thanks

Ive been given a fitting kit but one set of the rail legs is bigger than the other - not sure if the roof drops a bit toward the front hence to bigger legs ? - chasing AllMakes to sort out.

They are slightly taller!!!!!
and you need them that way to level the rack - didn't notice it on first sight
and the rack would not sit even!!!
Look it up in the mounting guideline - there is a pic!!

although the instructions say the rack comes with 6 x 50mm feet - not the 4 x 50mm and 2 x 60mm that I have !! Confused
