Roof Rack
Pad Mount with Optional "Pass Thru/Stanchion Fit" Hardware
Sheet Metal Roof Installation
WARNING: The mounting hardware included in this rack is not recommended for use on fiberglass
or composite material truck covers. If installing this unit on a fiberglass / plastic surface, please obtain
supplemental hardware pack HWSTTC-UV from your distributor or contact
PERRYCRAFT, INC. at
800-777-7081 for additional assistance or technical support if needed.
Caution: External roof racks do not increase the GVWR of the vehicle. Maximum load for this rack is 180
lbs. evenly distributed on crossbar assemblies. Keep in mind that torque applied to any straps, cords, etc.
between the load and the vehicle body effectively add "load weight" to crossbars and the roof. Large or flat
items such as plywood or watercraft can trap air and create wind lift. Secure the ends of such objects directly
to the vehicle bumpers or tie downs. Bulky or tall loads can create tremendous horizontal wind resistance from
headwinds and crosswinds. Extreme caution should be used when transporting such loads, taking into
consideration road conditions, vehicle speed, crosswinds, load securing methods, etc. Large, bulky, tall or flat
objects should be properly secured to both crossbars and other attachment points on the vehicle body.
PERRYCRAFT, Inc.
does not assume responsibility for style or size of rack installed, improper rack installation,
exceeding rack load limit, load securement methods, vehicle roof strength, wind lift or any other factors beyond
its control. All fasteners, knobs, and load securements should be checked frequently and tightened as
necessary.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The enclosed Warranty/Consumer Information card must be fully completed by
installation center and reviewed with the consumer (end-user), and given to the consumer. In the event of a
potential warranty issue, failure by the consumer to provide Mfg. with a copy of the completed document will
void warranty coverage.

This “Pass-Thru/Stanchion-Fit” Model provides the choice of two configurations of the stanchions and
crossbars at the time of installation:
Option 1: Pass-Thru Crossbars: Extend the crossbars through the stanchions
Option 2: Stanchion-Fit Crossbars: Cut the crossbars to appropriate length to
provide exact fit between the stanchions
IMPORTANT: Once stanchion-to-crossbar configuration option is chosen, completely review the
instructions for that option before proceeding with the installation.
Note: For either option, the installer must select spacing between the stanchions appropriate for the vehicle
roof, keeping in mind the following:
a. For vehicles with smooth roofs (no roof ribs) the stanchions should be mounted as close as possible to
the outer limits of the flat part of the roof, or slightly into "contour" of roof (Pads must mount flat on
roof to insure proper seal).
b. For vehicles with ribbed roofs use a plateau or valley near the outer edges at least as wide as the pad.
Allow for any other roof features such as antennas, sunroofs, etc.
