Using a flat screwdriver, starting from the front of the vehicle, lift and remove the two ditch moldings
running along either side of the roof.
Remove the tape covering the ten mounting points in the gutter
(five on each side). Insert and hand tighten the ten M6x35 Hex
Bolts (Item 2) supplied to the mounting points.
Starting at the front of the vehicle, refit the ditch molding.
Whenever you reach one of the Hex Bolts that you have inserted,
take a white marking pen and mark the top of the Hex Bolt. While
the white "paint"is still wet press the ditch molding onto the head
of the bolt, transferring the position of the bolt head onto the
underside of the ditch molding. Repeat this process for all the bolts
on both ditch moldings.

Using a 22mm Punch (Recommended) or Hole Saw, punch/drill
holes into the ditch molding on each of your markings.
Clean the area around each mounting point using a rag and denatured alcohol.
Place a small amount of silicone over each mounting points followed by one of the Aluminium Spacers
supplied as shown. There are ten Spacers in total. The two shorter spacers must be used on the mid
mounting points on either side of the vehicle.
Refit the ditch moldings, lining up the holes in the ditch molding with the Aluminium Spacers.

With your rack still upside down from Step 3A, slide a M8x16 Hex Bolt into each end of all the Slats.
Grab your Friend and with one of you on each side of the Rack, flip the Rack end over end (Prevents the
Hex Bolts from falling out the machines slots) so that the M8x16 Hex Bolts are facing down. Approach the
vehicle from the rear, with the Wind Deflector facing forward. Lift the Rack up and over the Roof
positioning it above the two Side Rails. Bring the Rack down slowly, lining up the Bolts in the Rack with
the holes in the top of the Side Rails. Hand tighten the Rack to the Side Rails using the M8 Washers and
M8 Nyloc Nuts supplied.
Center the rack - left to right (check using a tape measure). Fasten all the Nuts and Bolts securing the
Rack and Side Rails to the vehicle. Place the M8 Nut Caps supplied over the M8 Nyloc Nuts.

needed. You'll find a small amount of settling has happened.
Go on many more adventures, periodically checking all nuts, bolts, screws and fittings.
