With your rack still upside down from Step 3A, slide a M8 x 20 Hex Bolt (Item 5) into the end of Slats 4, 5,
9, 10.
Grab your Friend and with one of you on each side of the Rack, flip the Rack end over end (This prevents
the Hex Bolts from falling out of the machines slots) so that the M8 x 20 Hex Bolts are facing down. Ap-
proach the vehicle from the rear, with the Wind Deflector facing forward. Lift the Rack up and over the
Roof positioning it above the Foot Rail. Bring the Rack down slowly, lining up the Bolts in the Rack with
the holes in the top of the Foot Rail. Hand tighten the Rack to the Foot Rail using the M8 Washers and M8
Nyloc Nuts (Items 4 & 6) supplied.
Center the rack - left to right (check using a tape measure). Fasten all the Nuts securing the Rack to the
Foot Rail. Cover the M8 Nyloc Nuts with the M8 Nut Caps (item 1) supplied.
