Attach the Rack to your vehicle.
INSTALL CLIPS:
• Line front and back of clips with black vinyl
liners; trim if necessary.
• Slip lined clip
into tower
through slits
on side.
Fine tuning the tower tension:
• Gold sliders should be an equal distance
from the slider marks on each Tower.
• IF the gold sliders are not equal
distances, loosen or tighten screws
until sliders are equal.

Install lock holder &
U-shaped fastener:
• Insert lock holder into holes in clip and
tower, matching notches.
• Push U-shaped fastener over lock holder.
It should feel snug.
• Repeat for other Tower.
WITH DOORS OPEN:
• PULL each clip away from car—
PULL HARD!
• DO THIS FOR EACH CLIP.
• If clip moves, open cover and
tighten screw. Close cover and
check clip again.
• If it still moves,
check M1 and M3 measurements
and re-tighten.
Secure the rack to car's roof:
• Tighten one side slightly so that cam cover
closes with light pressure—and without moving
the Tower. Do not overtighten. Close cover.
• Go to opposite side, tighten screw
slightly, close cover.
• Tighten each side as evenly as
possible—a few turns on one Tower,
then a few on the other. Open and
close cam covers with each
adjustment.
• Tighten until the covers close
firmly—with some resistance.
This needs to be done gradually
to prevent the Towers from
moving off center.
NOTE:
The gold slider
should NEVER
TOUCH the crossbar.
