TOOLS NEEDED

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.

• Assemble the Stiffener Plates (Items 3, 4 & 5) to the Foot Rail (Item 1) using M6 x 16 Flange Button Heads & M6 Nyloc Nuts (Items 7 & 14). Do this for both the LH & RH foot rails.

• Place M6 Nut Caps (Item 13) over all M6 Nyloc Nuts (Item 14).

• Do not fit the front slat.

• Use a little oil on screw threads before inserting. Note, that these are thread-forming screws.

• Assemble six Slats (Item 2) to the Foot Rails using M6 x 25 Thread Forming Screws(Item 6).

• 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.

• Position the rack over the cab placing it on the spacers inserted earlier. Secure using M6 x 19 x 1 Flat Washer, M6 Spring Washers & M6 x 45 Hex Bolts (Items 10, 11 & 12). Fully tighten. Place M6 Nut Caps over all Hex Bolts.
