Step 6: Fitting Cross Bars to the vehicle
A. Place the Cross Bar onto the End Supports
ensuring that the End Support Tabs are located
into the cutouts on the underside of the bar.
Ensure the Cross Bar marked “FRONT” is
placed on the front End Supports. Check that
the Cross Bar has equally distanced overhang
on either side of the End Supports. (Fig. 10)
B. Insert the M8 hex nut into the Clamp Plate.
Insert the Clamp Plate into the end of the Cross
Bar and align it so that the nut and the End
Support’s bolt hole align.
C. Secure the Cross Bar to the End Support by
screwing the M8 x 20mm bolt with Washer and
Spring Washer through the End Support hole
and into the Clamp Plate nut. (Fig. 11)
D. Using a 13mm or adjustable wrench fully
tighten the bolt on the underside of the
support. Now using the Security Key finish
tightening the M6x16 bolts to 5Nm (44 in/ lbs)
or to a firm hand tightness.
Step 7: Installing Under Cover strips
Mark on underside of bars with a pencil the length
of Under Cover strips needed.
Remove bars, measure length of under cover filler
strips to fill slot. Cut Under Cover pieces using
scissors or a blade. Slide inner most Under Cover
into position on the bars and re-assemble bars

should therefore be driven with increased caution.
