ASSEMBLY OF CROSS-BARS
1. Ensure the roof is clean, free from dust and grease.
2. Insert the neck of the End-Support into the void of the Cross-bar profile.
They are designed to be a tight fit: use a rubber mallet if necessary (Fig.1)
3. Pull back the rubber Buffer Strip about 20mm until the screw hole can be
accessed.(Fig. 2) Using a Phillips Head Screwdriver, fasten the screw through
the cross-bar and into the End Support.
Do this for all four sides and replace the buffer strip.
NOTE: The longer cross-bars are to be fitted to the front of the vehicle. Check
labelling on the underside of the cross-bar.
FITTING CROSS-BARS TO VEHICLE
4. Open all vehicle door. Under the weather seal you will find anchor points in
the positions shown (Fig.3). Pull the weather seal away from the vehicle until
the locking strap is able to fit over the most rearward anchor point at each
location. Replace the weather seal in its original position.
5. Position the rubber pads under the locking straps so that the pointier end
faces towards the front of the vehicle. Place the appropriate cross bar
assemblies onto the rubber pads.
6. Loosely fit the special bolt with washer through the end support and into
the locking strap. Give two to three turns of the special bolt in the locking
strap with the security key provided. Go to the other side of the vehicle and
pull on the end support and fit in the same way. This will allow for correct
alignment of the locking strap and special bolt thread (Fig.4).
7. Gradually tighten the bolts alternately ensuring the locking straps are
properly engaged, until an even tensioning is achieved.
PLEASE NOTE: When tightening bolts, particular attention should be paid to
the gap between the horizontal face of the strap and the underside of the end
support. A gap of approximately 3 to 5mm should be left (Fig.6). Overtighten-
ing of the bolts may result in roof damage.
8. Proceed to follow steps 5 to 7 when mounting the Rear Cross-bar Assy.
9. You are now ready to mount your "Accessories" set onto the cross-bars using
the Global Mount Channel. Once installed, insert the 'Global Channel' Covers
into the End Supports.
Note: You have a choice of 2 - (a) quick access snap-on cover or (b) long term
mounting - security cover to cap off and lock the mount channel. (Fig.5)
