Installing Track Rails to mounting surface
Position isolator pad, front and rear end
caps on mounting surface and align
holes. Note: rear end caps allow cross
bars to slide on and off rails.
Install bolts and nylon washers into rails
and through track and into Plus nuts.
ROLA carries a variety of cross bar styles and lengths to attach to our rails. Cross Bars are sold with mounting hardware.
Any weight carried on the vehicle will adversely affect its handling particularly in cornering or in a cross wind and the vehicle should
therefore be driven with increased caution. Check the function of all doors and sunroof before driving.
