Thank you for taking the time to share your 4-star review and helpful feedback!
We are glad to hear that the installation went smoothly for you once the bars were in position. Because most vehicle roofs taper slightly toward the back, the front crossbar is indeed longer than the rear bar.
We really appreciate you bringing to our attention that this point could be made clearer in our video and instruction guides. I will pass your feedback directly to our media team so we can update our instructions and make this distinction obvious right from the start for future customers.
Thank you again for choosing Erkul, and please feel free to reach out if you ever need anything else!
