I'm considering buying a 06 SE without that hyper roof rail because I want manual transmission. I have read I think all of the threads about the Thule solution for X Trail. I'm not clear on what I'm supposed to buy or and modify.
I understand about the load bars (50 or 58 inches), 430 tracker II foot pack.
Now about the Tracker kit, I need TK6 kit? Now what exactly do I need to modify? Please explain, as I would like to know before buying that xtrail.
Thanks in advance!

If your Xtrail has pre-set mounting points then the North American installation for the vehicle is the 430 Tracker II Foot Pack, Tracker Kit TK2 and a pair 50" Load Bars. If it has raised rails running front-to-back down either side of the vehicle then it is require the 450 Crossroads Railing Foot Pack and a pair of 50" Load Bars.
This information is bunk!
The TK2 will not fit on the X-Trail. To fit a Thule rack to the X-Trail you need the following.
50" or 58" Load Bars
430 Tracker II Foot Pack
TK6 Tracket Kit
The TK6 needs to be modified to match the 2 3/16" pitch for the bolts on the fixed mounts. This is easy.
I have this setup on my X-Trail and it's rock solid!
