Step 3: Fitting Cross Bars to the vehicle
A. Place an end support into the plastic adaptor and
loosely bolt down by inserting the 45mm bolt into the
anchor point threads and turning approx 2-3 turns
with the L wrench security key. Do not tighten yet,
Repeat for the opposite side. (fig 4)
B. Place the cross bar onto the end supports ensuring
that the end support tabs are located into the cutouts
on the underside of the bar. Check that the cross bar
has equally distanced overhang on either side of the
end supports. (fig 5)
C. Insert the M8 hex nut into the clamp plate. Insert the
clamp plate into the end of the cross bar and align it
so that the nut and the end support’s bolt hole align.
D. Secure the cross bar to the end support by screwing
the M8 x 20mm bolt with washer and spring washer
through the end support hole and into the clamp
plate nut. (fig 6)
E. Using a 13mm or adjustable wrench fully tighten the
bolt on the underside of the support. Now using the
security key finish tightening the 45mm bolts to 5Nm
(44 in/ lbs) or to a firm hand tightness.
