IMPORTANT NOTE:
the Cargo Carrier. Use the license plate as a template to mark two holes to drill. Diameter of the holes will depend on the screws
you are using, but should not exceed 1/4".
If the Cargo Carrier or cargo blocks the tail lights, you will need to install the optional Cargo Carrier Light Kit, #6504. For this Cargo
Carrier (#7507), you will need to drill 1/4" holes for the light bolts to pass through. Cut out the template below Fig. 2 and follow the
instructions on it. The holes should be drilled just under the lip. See Fig. 4. Note: the light kit contains a license plate bracket, so you
will not need to drill separate holes for the license plate.
If the Cargo Carrier or cargo blocks the license plate, you can mount the license plate directly to the back of
