-1- from the profile tube -5- -arrow A-.
–
Insert the add-on components in the T groove -arrow B-.
–
Slide the profile cap -1- back on -arrow C-.
When the add-on components are not in use, secure the T

Note
When driving with a roof load, ensure that the German
♦
Road Traffic Regulations (StVZO) or any country-specific
regulations are observed.
For reasons of convenience, it is common for the roof bars
♦
with/without add-on components to remain on the vehicle,
even if they are not in use. As a result of the increased
wind resistance, your vehicle will consume more fuel and
will produce additional noise.
We therefore recommend that you remove the roof bars
♦
after use.
Increased wind noise can result from driving with the roof
♦
bars attached.
If required, the profile cover provided can be replaced with
♦
an improved aeroacoustic version (grooved rubber) for
minimising noise (order number 4L0.071.633.A).
