Pad Mount "Pass Thru" Style for Fiberglass Installations
WARNING: Do not use sheet metal screws to attach roof racks to fiberglass roof panels! 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, cord, 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 down. Bulky or tall loads can create tremendous horizontal wind resistance from headwinds
and crosswinds. Extreme caution should be used when transporting such loads, taking in consideration road conditions, vehicle
speed, crosswinds, and load securing methods, etc. Large bulky, tall or flat objects should be properly secured to both the
crossbars and other attachment points on the vehicle body. PERRYCRAFT, Inc. does not assume responsibility for improper
rack installation, exceeding rack load limit, load securement methods, vehicle roof strength or wind lift or any other factors
beyond its control. All fasteners, adjustment knobs and load securements should be checked frequently and tightened as
necessary.
CONTENTS: 2-Crossbars, 4-Stanchions, 4-Pad Assemblies, 1-Hardware Pack (4-Pad Clamp Blocks, 8-6Mx12mm Socket
Head Cap Screws, 4-Crossbar End Caps, 4-3/16" Drive Rivets, 8-#10-24x1" Stainless Phillips Head Machine Screws, 8-#10-
24 Propeller Tee Nuts, 8-1 1/8" Retainer Washer and Snap on Caps, 8-3/16"x3/8"x1/32" Neoprene washers, 8-#10-24 Lock Nuts,
8-1/4” Stainless Steel Flat Washers, 1-Allen Wrench, and Instruction Sheet).
TOOLS REQUIRED: Tape Measure, Hand Drill, 3/16" Bit (2" or longer) 9/32" Bit, Phillips Screwdriver,
Pliers, 7/16" Wrench and/or Adjustable Wrench, Non-Permanent Marker and Hammer.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For roofs exceeding 1" in thickness, substitute proportionately longer stainless machine screws
for the 1" screws furnished. For truck caps without sandwiched core roofs, for mounting
outside the core area, or for mounting in any fiberglass roof less than 1/2" thick, substitute
#10-24 lock nuts and nylon washers for propeller tee nuts.
PRE-ASSEMBLY: (For mounting in fiberglass truck caps/lids only) Prior to assembling rack measure the size of the "core"
area of the cap roof. If mounting inside core area, stanchions should be positioned so that mounting
hardware penetrates the core a minimum of 1" in from edges of core. If mounting outside core area,
position so that mounting hardware penetrates a minimum of 1" outside edges of core.
ASSEMBLY: Slide stanchions on to crossbars. Install end caps on crossbars. Adjust stanchion spacing as appropriate for roof
core. Allow for any other roof features such as interior lighting, ribbing, etc.
INSTALLATION:
1. Temporarily fit pad assemblies to stanchions (DO NOT install pad blocks and cap screws at this time).
2. Position the stanchion/crossbar assemblies in the desired locations. Spacing between crossbars should be
determined by roof core length and the load(s) that will be carried.
3. Mark precise location of the pads on fiberglass cap or roof panel using a non-permanent marker, being careful not
to shift the assemblies while marking.
4. Remove pads from stanchions and re-position pads at marked locations. NOTE: To insure correct re-installation of
stanchions into pads, pads must be mounted exactly in position as marked.
5. Mark the two outer holes of each pad and drill 3/16" holes through roof core. Do not drill for center hole in pads!!
**NOTE: If installing outside core area of truck cap or in roof less than 1/2" thick, go to step 7 NOW**
If installing in a truck cap, from inside the cap use 9/32" drill bit to ream out all drilled holes through inner
fiberglass layer only. HELPFUL HINT: If the cap has a fabric liner attached to the inside of cap, place a long nail
or screw down through mounting holes to aid in locating holes in liner.
