FITTING SIDERAIL
4. Roll out the left hand side of the roof, and engage the spigot
pin on the front and rear end of the rail, into the uppermost slot
in the latch blocks at the front and rear of the roof aperture.
5. Ensure that the tensioning cables at the front and rear edges
of the roof canopy are correctly located in the channels be-
tween the seal and body before rotating the left hand side
rail downwards. Ensure that both spring loaded pins 'click'
into their ramped slots indicating that latching is complete.
Pull up on the side rail to check security.
6. On the right hand side of the car, repeat steps (4) and (5) for
the second side rail.
NOTICE: Engaging the left hand roof side rail first, will minimise
the possibility of the canopy tensioning cable adjusters causing
damage to the roof seals.
WARNING:
Before driving check that the roof is secure by pulling
upwards on each end of both side rails. An inproperly fitted
or insecure roof could cause serious injury or death to car
occupants or other road users.
