GOOP APPLICATION
Apply a healthy air tight bead of goop
around every swaged joint as shown, to
prevent moisture from leaking into and out
of the joint. If this is not done properly, the
inside surface of the tubes can rust and
rusty water can leak out. Maintainthis
joint seal throughout the life of your rack.

#1 = Position rear cross bar behind the ½” button head
bolt A that attaches the rear U bar to the side channel.
Loosely bolt clamp plates together with bolts E, washer I
and lock nuts J. J I
#2 = With the camper shell rear door fully opened, E
measure the distance from the open rear door to the front
most point of the camper shell roof, where you will be
locating the front mounting plates. See diagram in STEP 5.
#3 = Position the front cross bar so that the distance from the
rear U bar to the front cross bar is as per the measurement
above. The objective is to locate the front foot as far forward on
the camper shell roof as possible, but at the same time making
sure that the opened camper shell rear door will not hit the rear
U bar. See diagram in STEP 5. Loosely bolt clamp plates
together with bolts E, washer I and lock nuts J.
STEP 4 (CAMPER SHELL ONLY)
#1 = There are 8 mounting feet in your box. There are
4 identical feet (these are the taller ones with the three
holed flange on the bottom). These will be used for
Camper Shell installation. Find these now.
L K
#2 = Position the Camper Shell feet into the
slider brackets on the cross bars.
#3 = Place the spacer N inside the mounting
brackets. Loosely bolt the feet to slider brackets
using bolts K, washers L and lock nuts M.

STEP 5
(CAMPER SHELL ONLY)
TMCS_3:1
#1 = Place a rubber roof pad under each foot
flange, align the holes, and temporarily secure it in
place with tape. Do not tape over the holes.
#2 = Carefully place the assembled rack onto the top of the
camper shell and position it centered side to side. Examine
the underside of your camper shell to see if the manufacture
has molded any reinforcement pads into the roof. If so,
position the feet so that the mount bolts will go through the
pads. If not, we recommend that you consult the camper shell
manufacture for optimal foot location. Typically, the front feet
should be as far forward as possible, the rear feet should be
as far back as possible, and all feet should to the outer most
shoulder of the shell. When the rack has been positioned as
described above, BE SURE that the there is at least 2”
clearance between the rear U-bar and the fully opened rear
camper shell door. BE SURE that the INSIDE backing plate
will be clear of any obstacles inside the camper shell roof.
After final positioning, tighten down the cross bar clamps. 2h

THE WARRANTY. WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU HAVE AN
AUTHORIZED CAMPER SHELL DEALER DRILL AND MOUNT THE
RACK FOOTPLATES.
#2 = Remove the rack from the roof. CAREFULLY drill
a small pilot hole through the shell. With a 5/16 bit, drill
up from inside, about half way through the fiberglass.
From outside, drill down to finish the hole.
