FIT AND SECURE

Using a panel tool or flat screwdriver start from the front of the vehicle, lift and remove the two ditch moldings running along either side of the roof. Remove the tape covering the ten mounting
points in the ditch (five per side). Starting at the front of the ditch molding measure and mark the following distances.

  • 200mm
  • 255mm
  • 820mm
  • 1270mm
  • 1343mm.

Repeat this process on both the LH / RH ditch moldings.

  • Working on the underside of the ditch molding, measure and mark a line 15mm either side of your original markings from Step 2.1 as shown in Step 2.2.

  • Using a pair of side cutters and a utility knife, remove the marked section of the ditch molding as shown in Step 2.2 through to Step 2.4.

  • Refer to Step 2.2.

  • Refer to Step 2.2.

  • Using a 7/8″ (22mm) hole punch, punch holes through the ditch molding centered on each of your markings.

  • Clear the area around each mounting point in the ditch using a rag and denatured alcohol. Place a small amount of silicone over each mounting point, followed by the aluminum spacers as shown in Fig 1.1.

Note: that the spacers are different sizes and need to be mounted according to Fig 1.1.FRONT-KSTT001-Roof-Rack-Kit-FIG-2

  • Tightening Torque 8-10Nm / 5.9 ft lb – 7.38 ft lb. Take care when using a cordless driver.

  • Place a bead of silicone on all hex bolt threads, before inserting & fastening.
