Place the assembled Rack on the vehicle,
lining up the holes in the foot rail with the
factory holes in the roof. Mark the hole
centres where the ditch moldings were cut
out.
Remove the Rack.
Before drilling the holes in the roof, take both
the 5mm & 12mm drill bits and wrap a band
of insulation tape around each bit to act as a
stopper to prevent you from drilling to deep
as there are airbags located below where you
will be drilling.
Drill a 5mm pilot hole on both markings.
Open holes to 12mm.
Insert the M6 Button Head Bolt (Item 21) into
the one side of the Installer Wrench (Item 20),
loosly fit a Jack Nut (Item 19) to the Button
Head Bolt as shown.
Using the Installer Wrench and a M6 x 30
Button Head Bolt, insert the M6 Jack Nuts
into the holes drilled.
Place the Assembly into the holes drilled in

and a 4mm Allen Key Bit, set the Jack Nut
into the hole while holding onto the handle
of the Installer Wrench.
