How to Use Dials on the Saris Bones Bike Rack for a 2018 Nissan Leaf
Question:
How do I use the numbers on the dials on the Saris Bones my mother has given me? On my Thule Raceway Pro, I was able to look up my car model and find out what number setting to use. Is there a similar reference for the Bones? I will use it on ‘18 Nissan Leaf.

For the Saris Bones 2 # SA805BL and Bones 3 # SA801BL, there is not a similar Fit Dial setting like the one on the Thule RaceWay Pro. The pivot points of the rack are simply for adjusting the angle of the rack instead of the tightness. For adjusting the tightness, that comes from the tightening the little black knobs and the cam buckles. I went ahead and attached a screenshot that shows an overview of the process from the instructional manual.
