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. 9. Mark pilot hole locations on vehicle roof through holes at each end of both side rails. Remove masking tape and move rack suf
ficiently
to access marked locations. 10. Using 1/8” drill bit, drill pilot holes at marked locations, being careful not to penetrate vehicle headliner
. Remove drill chips from
vehicle roof. 1

holes. Secure side rails with 4-#10 x ½” Bi-waxed truss-head screws. 12. 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. 13. 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. 14. Rotate adjustment knobs 1-2 turns counter-clockwise, slide crossbar assemblies into desired position and re-tighten adjustment knobs to securely lock stanchions

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. Square-cut each crossbar equal to above measurement
less
6 ½” inches
. Example: If overall nominal finished width of rack
desired is 44”, crossbars should be cut to precisely 37 ½”. File ends of crossbars if necessary to remove any burrs. 4. Install stanchion plugs into all stanchions using 1/4"-20 x 7/8" cap screws, 1/4" flat washers and nylock nuts as shown in
Fig. 1.
5. Slide one stanchion on to end of crossbar
, butting end of bar firmly
against stanchion plug.
While insuring
bar remains butted against plug, drill 3/16" hole in bottom of crossbar thru remaining hole on underside of stanchion neck. Install Drive Rivet in drilled hole as shown in Fig. 1, tapping rivet mandrel pin firmly with hammer until flush with rivet head. Repeat for 3 remaining stanchions. 6. 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.
