On a high-crowned roof, one inch may not be possible. In this case, adjust the lightbar as high as possible. Adjust the mounting feet on the mounting bracket as needed. 5. Check to ensure that the lightbar is level front-to-back. If it is not, adjust the level by rotating the lightbar in the mounting bracket slots. Tighten all eight 5/16 Torx head bolts that fasten the mounting feet to the mounting brackets. 6. Using the mounting brackets as a template, scribe two drill-position marks on each side of the lightbar. 7. Remove the lightbar assembly from the vehicle roof. To avoid marring the plastic domes, place the lightbar on soft rags or cardboard. 8. Turn the lightbar assembly over so that the bottom of the assembly faces up. Secure the mounting assembly to the lightbar using the eight #10 hex head thread-forming screws. 9.
