NOTE
It may be necessary to start the inner clamp and end support at
the center of the roof rail for easier installation, then move the
crossbar forward. Use care not to cross-thread the screw in the
insert if it has been removed.
5. Adjust the alignment of the crossbar on the roof rails and tighten to
30 to 35 inch lbs. (3.4 to 4.0 N-m, 0.35 to 0.41 kg-m) with the torxR
tool provided. If available, you may use a T-30 torxR bit and torque
wrench to tighten the crossbar torxR head screw.
Rear crossbar:
Install the rear crossbar in the same manner as the front crossbar.
NOTE
The rear crossbar should be positioned 6 inches (150 mm) for-
ward of the rear radius in the roof rail.
NOTE
Before each use of the roof crossbar, make sure the four T-30 cross-
bar clamp screws have been checked, and re-tightened, if neces-
sary, to 35 in. lbs. (4.0 N-m, 0.41 kg-m), as outlined in Step #5 above.
