THAT'S IT! YOUR INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE.

NOTE:

“Any time an overhead rack is mounted on a vehicle, there will be some incremental wind noise. In the vast majority of cases, the additional noise is subtle and not objectionable. Sometimes, for reasons we cannot explain, customers complain that the wind noise is intolerable. For these customers, we offer this Optional Wind Deflector. Be sure to specify the Wind Deflector part number that is appropriated for your Congo Cage.

#60141 for CJ Congo Cage #50301 and TJ Congo Cages #50311 & #50331.
