Anyone else install the crossbars for the 2016 CX 9 GT?
I just did, it was a PITA. The bolts were inaccessible even with a u-joint socket as recommended by the instructions. I ended up unbolting the side rails so I can tighten the crossbars, then reinstalling the side rails. Unfortunately the bolts they used for the rails were soft AF and I ended up stripping 2 and had to drill one out. Also the tension from the crossbars made it hard to properly align the side rails.
Anyone else had the same experience?
