11. Tighten the two-(2) tension adjustment bolts evenly. While tightening the bolts make sure the light bar

remains in the desired mounting position on the roof. Torque bolts to 10-12 ft-lbs. Failure to properly tighten

the tension adjustment bolts and straps could result in damage to the vehicle and/or injury to driver or

others.

12. The hooked end of the stainless steel strap that is engaged to

the vehicle’s window ledge has two holes, which will secure the

bracket to the vehicle with sheet metal screws provided. Use each

of the holes in the bracket as a template to drill a hole into the

window ledge, drill to size 5/32”. Secure the stainless steel strap

to the window ledge with the self-tapping sheet metal screws

provided.

IMPORTANT: The installer may have to lower headliner

and inspect the selected location to ensure that there are no

components, wires and or any other vehicle part that could be

damaged by drilling. See Fig. 4.

13. Place the weather-strip back into position.

14. Insert the two cables into the access hole that was drilled into the roof earlier and make sure the rubber

grommet has been installed into the drilled hole. Route the cables into the B-pillar. See fig. 5.

15. The two cables will make an approximate 90° bend into the B-pillar.

Depending on the vehicle, this can sometimes be difficult, but it is the

recommended procedure for proper installation. Installation will vary for

each make and model vehicle and it is up to the installation technician’s

discretion whether to route the power cable as recommend through the

B-pillar or use an alternative routing method. Route cables down to the

bottom of the B-pillar and the pull the full length of both cables into the

interior of the vehicle. See fig. 5.

16. Make sure that both cables have been completely pulled into the vehicle, use silicon or similar waterproof

material around the grommet and cables to ensure a waterproof installation.
