9. Remove stanchion plugs from the two "plugged" stanchions.
10. Slide crossbars thru stanchions until same length of bar (using "resulting dimension" from step 8) is extending beyond each support.

crossbars at end of opening in stanchions (see Fig 4). 1
1. Insure that all stanchions remain aligned with their
respective marks on bars (per Step 10). Using tape measure, verify width of rack is equal at both ends of side rails. 12. Using carton or other cushioning material to avoid damage to crossbars and/or stanchions, turn rack upside down, exposing bottom of stanchions. Check to be sure that stanchions are still in marked locations on crossbars. 13. Drill 3/16” holes through bottom side of crossbars in stanchion hole as shown in Fig. 5. Insert the 3/16” drive rivets into drilled holes, and tap rivet mandrel pin firmly with hammer until flush with rivet head. 14. Install crossbar end caps. 15. Place side rails in desired position on vehicle roof,
insuring that
rack is center
ed and squar
ed
. Using masking tape in several
strategic locations, temporarily secure rack in position to minimize movement of side rails. 16. Mark hole locations on vehicle roof through side rail in last hole at each end of each side rail. Remove masking tape and move rack suf
ficiently to access marked locations.
17. Using 1/8” drill bit, drill pilot holes at marked locations, being careful not to penetrate vehicle headliner
. Remove drill chips from
vehicle roof. 18. Re-position rack with holes in side rails aligned with drilled pilot holes. Secure side rails with 4-#10 x ½” Bi-waxed truss-head screws. 19. Rotate adjustment knobs of either crossbar assembly 1-2 turns counter-clockwise and slide to center of side rails, insuring that assembly is equidistant from either end of side rails. T

adjustment knobs. 20. Drill holes through side rail and vehicle roof at hole location nearest center of each side rail. Remove drill chips, and secure side rails to vehicle roof at these locations with truss-head screws. Repeat this procedure for all remaining holes in side rails. Place side rail end caps in position, drill vehicle roof, remove drill chips, and install with #10 x ¾” bi-waxed pan-head screws. 21. Rotate adjustment knobs 1-2 turns counter-clockwise, slide crossbar assemblies into desired position and re-tighten adjustment knobs to securely lock stanchions in place.
INSQ-TMOP-SM (2 of 3) Option 1, Pass-Thru Cr
ossbar Configuration:
1. Determine desired location of rack on vehicle roof by selecting spacing between the side rails appropriate for the vehicle roof, keeping in mind the following:
a. For vehicles with smooth roofs (no roof ribs or recesses), the
side rails should be mounted as close as possible to the outer limits of the flat part of the roof, or slightly into the “contour” of the roof.
b. For vehicles with ribbed roofs, use a plateau or valley near the
roof
’s outer edges at least as wide as the side rail base. Allow
for any other roof features such as antennas, sunroofs, etc. 2. Measure vehicle roof to determine maximum rack width possible.
Make note of this measur
ement.
3. Install stanchion plugs into two stanchions using 1/4"-20 x 7/8" cap screws, 1/4" flat washers and nylock nuts
as shown in Fig. 1.
4. Slide one "plugged' stanchion on to one end of each crossbar
, butting
end of bars firmly against stanchion plugs. Slide remaining two "open" stanchions on to opposite ends of bars with both stanchions relatively equidistant from bar ends. 5. Insert stanchion/track clamp brackets into side rails by tilting slightly & sliding under lip of rail as shown in Fig. 2. Slide stanchion foot brackets into the stanchion/track brackets (insuring lip of foot bracket is underneath the ball-lip of side rails), aligning bracket ends. Install adjustment knobs into threaded holes in stanchion/track clamp brackets. 6. Position stanchions along side rails between mounting holes and in from ends of side rails approximately 12-18”, and tighten adjustment knobs.
Place assembled rack on a flat surface.

while firmly holding bars and sliding stanchions
on other end of bars inward/outward until desired overall nominal width of rack determined in step 2 is obtained. 8. Measure and note distance from end of cavity to end of crossbar (see Fig 3) and divide by 2, making note of the resulting dimension.
