My husband helped me install my thule rack and we first used a "C" clamp and a ruler to tighten the cams. after we did this several times (it kept slipping off center) my husband got a long bolt the same size as the hole in the cam and screwed it in and that made the job soooooooooooo much easier it was rediculous. Granted they had ben set at least once by then but i could use the bolt and do it. It does help having a farm shop full of tools at your disposal when doing this kind of stuff. Thule could include a bolt just for this reason and it would help.
