2. Relocate the crossbars, aligning the crossbar stan-
chions (end pieces) with one of the vertical marks on
the outboard surface of the side rail for proper posi-
tioning. There are four frontward marks for the front
crossbar and four rearward marks for the rear cross-
bar. Make sure the crossbars remain equally spaced or
parallel at any position for proper function.
3. Tighten the knobs on each crossbar to lock it in
position. As you tighten the knob, make sure the
clamp tooth engages completely into the side rail slot.
4. Attempt to move the crossbar to ensure that it is
locked in position.
NOTE:
• To help control wind noise when installing the cross-
bars, make sure the arrows marked on the underside
of the crossbars face the front of the vehicle.
• To help reduce the amount of wind noise when the
crossbars are not in use, fasten the front crossbar in the
fourth position from the front and the rear crossbar in
the eighth position. The tie down holes on the crossbar
ends should always be used to tie down the load.
Check the straps frequently to be sure that the load
remains securely attached.
CAUTION!
• To prevent damage to the roof of your vehicle, DO
NOT carry any loads on the roof rack without the
crossbars installed. The load should be secured and
placed on top of the crossbars, not directly on the
roof. If it is necessary to place the load on the roof,
place a blanket or other protective layer between
the load and the roof surface.
