L --<gage CTrrier (^ption)
If you try to carry something on top
of your
vehicle that is longer or wider than the luggage
carrier
--
like paneling, plywood, a mattress, and
so forth
--
the wind can catch it as you drive
along. This can cause you to lose control. What
you are carrying could be violently torn off, and
this could cause you or other drivers to have a
collision, and of course damage your vehicle. You
may be able to carry something like this
inside.
But, never carry something longer or wider than
your luggage carrier on top of your vehicle.
The luggage carrier has slats, side rails and crossrails
attached to the roof to secure cargo, The moveable tie
downs, attached to the side rails, should be used to
secure loads to the luggage carrier.
Use GM accessory racks that are compatible with your
luggage carrier for transporting sports equipment. These
are
available through your GM dealer.
Remove the center rubber strips in the crossrails and
attach the GM accessory rack to the nut plates provided
through the center slots (four per crossrail).
The tap plates can be moved to accommodate various
positioning by sliding them inside the crossrail to the
desired locations before mounting the accessory rack.
