gain a better alignment of the pieces
while trying to start the screw. Use care
not to cross-thread the screw in the
insert.

on the roof rails, and if available, use a T-
®
30 torx bit and torque wrench and tighten
®
the T-30 torx head screws to 30 to 35
lbf·in (3.4 to 4.0 N·m, 0.35 to 0.41 kgf·m) of
