tops, please contact your seller to purchase
hardware pack HWDSTC-UV, or call 336-372-2545 to purchase
directly from Perrycraft, Inc.®
SIDE RAIL CURVATURE: Perrycraft, Inc.® manufactures racks and rails
that are size specific, not vehicle specific. Therefore, the bow of the
rails (front to back) may need adjusting. Place the rails (without the
stanchions) on the roof in the desired location. Ideally, the rails
should match the roof curvature. The ends of the rails should touch
the roof and the center should be no more than 3/16” off the roof
surface. The rails can be adjusted (more bow or less bow) by placing
the ends of the rails on supports and either pressing down from the
top (to take away bow), or pressing down from the bottom (to add
more bow). Rails are heat treated aluminum, therefore, very strong.
Several attempts of adjustment may be required to get the correct
curvature.

ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION:
Installation will include assembling the rails, placing them
on the roof and marking the hole locations, removing the
rails and drilling holes at the marked locations, cleaning the
roof, and securing the rack to the roof.
1. Insert stanchions into rails. Use masking tape to secure
the stanchions to the rails, being careful not to cover the
screw holes.

2. Place center posts in balance along the rails, aligning the
grooves and pre-drilled screw holes. Tape the posts to the
rails, being careful not to cover the screw holes.
3. Place assembled rails onto roof in desired location
(approximately 2-3 inches forward of the back hatch joint)
and adjust as necessary to get the rails as parallel to the
body seams and/or ribs or drain channels as possible. Open
hatch to insure it does not come in contact with stanchions.
4. Mark the three hole locations in each stanchion and one
hole location in each post. It will be necessary to have a
very thin marker or trim a pencil skinny enough to reach the
roof through the screw holes.
5. Remove rails from roof and tape from stanchions and
posts.
6. Lightly center punch and drill pilot holes where marked
using 1/8” drill bit going no deeper than 1/2”, being careful
not to penetrate interior headliner. Clean roof, removing
all drill chips.
7. Place rails back onto roof, lining up with drilled holes.
8. Using hand screwdriver, secure rails to roof using
supplied #10 x 1-1/2”” pan head waxed screws. Do not
overtighten. Snug is enough. Additional sealant/silicone
isn’t necessary, but can be applied to hole locations if
desired.
9. Insert plugs into stanchion ends. Plugs have tabs that
line up with grooves in the stanchions.
10 Snap vinyl rail strips into tops of rails.

NOTES AND WARNINGS:
 Do not use rails if a part is cracked or broken.
Contact Perrycraft, Inc.® by phone at 336-372-2545
or e-mail to [email protected] for
assistance with purchasing a new component.
 Large or flat items such as plywood, ladders, lumber,
hang gliders, canoes, kayaks, etc., can trap air and
create wind lift. Secure the ends of long objects
directly to the front and back bumpers or tie-down
positions.
 Bulky or tall loads can create tremendous horizontal
wind resistance from headwinds and crosswinds.
Extreme caution should be used when transporting
such loads.
