NOTE: The mounting straps are made to fit the contours of individual
vehicles. The strap
may look different. If your lightbar has a 5"
mounting foot, it will assemble differently than the standard
mounting foot. It also uses an extension to compensate for
the extra height. Follow these illustrations for assembly.
Mounting to the lightbar is the same.

NOTE: Unless otherwise specified, the
lightbar mounting feet must be sitting as
close to the edge of the roof as possible.
Mounting feet must also be in full contact
with the roof and not be hanging off
the edge.
IMPORTANT: For strap mounted bars, be sure you have the right
sized lightbar for your vehicle. The lightbar should be about the
same width as the vehicle roof. If the
lightbar is too large or small it will not
mount properly to the vehicle and
may shift or come loose during driving. 1/2" Minimum Clearance at Closest Point
Routing your Edge® Lightbar Cable(s)
1. To protect the headliner from damage caused by drilling the cable access
hole through the vehicle roof, allow a 5” to 7” distance between roof and
headliner by lowering the headliner before drilling.
2. Using a 1” hole saw, drill the cable access hole.
NOTE:There may be a roof support member that spans the distance between
the driver’s and passenger’s side. DO NOT DRILL THROUGH THIS MEMBER!
Adjust the location until the hole can be drilled without contacting this
support member.
3.
Use a round file to smooth and de-burr the edges of the hole.
4. Insert a 1” grommet (user supplied) into the cable access hole.
5. Insert the cable through the cable access hole into the vehicle. Use RTV silicone to weatherproof the access hole after the cable are pulled
completely into the vehicle.
6. Route the cable to your switch box. It is left to the installation technician’s discretion to select a path for this cable that will both protect the cable from
possible damage and not interfere with the operation of any other vehicle components or equipment. Refer to the instructions included with your
switches for switch wiring information.
DRILLING THE CABLE ACCESS HOLE
Drill cable access hole in appropriate area
for your lightbar (see note)
