ERKUL V2 Universal Roof Rack Cross Bars

ATTENTION

• Don’t cut the bars or scrape the plastic headers! These crossbars are vehicle specific and bar lengths vary by model.
• If one bar is longer than the other, the front of your vehicle is wider than the back.
• In this case, install the longer bar on the front and the shorter bar on the rear.
• If you can’t fit it, there may be a point you missed.
• If you cut the bars and don’t insert cross bars fully into the mount, the bars carrying capacity will decrease. In this case, Erkul Auto will not accept responsibility.
• If you need assistance please do not hesitate to contact us via your shopping channel.
