width. If this is the case, attach the cargo carrier to the
rear cross rails first, using the pre-drilled holes. Then drill
holes in the front of the cargo carrier using the mounting
back plate (#4) as a template for the hole positions
Carefully place the assembled cargo carrier on the
top of roof rack cross rails and center on vehicle.
