LET’S GET STARTED!
1. FIRST STEP IS TO ATTACH THE LANDING PADS TO THE TOP OF YOUR VAN
USING THE SUPPLIED M8 HARDWARE AND SEALING WASHERS.
NOTE- DUE TO FACTORY INCONSISTENCIES YOU MAY NEED TO
GRIND CLEARANCE ON THE HOLES OF YOUR VAN TO GAIN ACCESS
TO THE THREADED HOLES. SEE REF PHOTO 1 TO RIGHT.
2. AFTER TIGHTENING DOWN THE M8 BOLTS, USE A SEALANT AND RUN A BEAD
ALL THE WAY AROUND THE LANDING PAD WHERE IT SEATS TO THE VAN.
