TOOLS NEEDED

FIT AND SECURE

1. Using a flat screw driver and starting from the front of the vehicle, lift and remove the two ditch moldings running along either side of the roof.
   

2. Remove all the retaining clips using a long nose plier as shown.
   

3. Lay the righthand ditch moulding on an even surface. From the front tip of the ditch moulding, measure and mark as shown.
   Using a hacksaw, cut the ditch moulding at each marking.
   Discard the two smaller pieces and refit the retaining clips to the three cut ditch mouldings making sure the retaining clips line up with the clip pins in the ditch.
   Repeat this for the lefthand moulding.
   

4. Mark the middle of the ditch by measuring 390mm from the top edge of the windscreen.
   

5. Place the Foot Rail (Item 1) inside the ditch. Centralize the first slot of the Foot rail mounting foot with the mark. Mark the remaining slot centres and remove the Foot Rail.
   

6. Verify that the markings line up with theslots in the Spacers (Item 8) before drilling the mounting holes.
   Remove the Spacers from the vehicle. Drill a 6.5mm pilot hole in the center of the mark- ings. Open the holes using a 12mm Drill.
   

7. Insert the M6 Button Head Bolt (Item 12) into the one side of the Jack Nut Tool (Item 13). Loosely fit a Jack Nut (Item 7) to the Button Head Bolt as shown. Using the Jack Nut Tool and a M6 x 30 Button Head Bolt, insert the M6 Jack Nuts into all 8 holes. Place the assembly into the hole drilled. Using a Battery Powered Screw Driver and a H4 Allen Key Bit, set the Jack Nut into the hole while holding onto the handle of the Jack Nut Tool
   
   Make sure the Jack Nut has pulled up all the way to the inside skin of the roof panel.

8. Place the four Spacers (Item 8) back on top of the inserted Jack Nuts in 2.5. Fit the three pieces of the ditch moulding cut in 2.3. With the ditch moulding in place, remove the Spacers.
   

9. Place a bead of silicone around each of the
   Jack Nut openings inserted earlier in Step 2.5.
   To fit the Foot Rails (Item 1LH & 1RH), place the Spacers (Item 8) over the Jack Nuts inserted in Step 2.5, followed by the Foot Rail (Item 1).
   Place silicone on the threads of the M6x35
   Hex Bolts (Item 4) and secure the Foot Rail using M6x35 Hex Bolts, M6 Spring Washers and M6x19x1SS Flat Washers (Items 4, 3 & 2).
   Do this on both the left and right side of the vehicle.
   Finish off by placing M6 Nut Caps (Item 5) on the M6 Hex Bolt heads.
   To fit the Rack, proceed to Step 3.
   

10. Make sure that the wind deflector is installed before you proceed to the next step.
