left and right Side Panels with (4) 8mm Combo Bolts, (Figure 2). Do not tighten at this time.
Repeat to install the remaining (3) Cross Braces.
STEP 5- Place the Basket assembly on a clean, flat surface. Measure across the Basket,
corner to corner to make sure the Basket is square and straight. Adjust as necessary and
fully tighten all hardware.
STEP 6- Select (1) Mounting Bracket Assembly and (1) 6-slot Rubber Spacer, (Figure 3).
Attach the Rubber Spacer to the bottom of the Mount Assembly. Repeat this Step for the
remaining (3) Mounting Bracket Assemblies.
STEP 7- Locate the mounting point toward the front of the Side Panel. Attach (1) Mount
Assembly to the lowest (2) slots in the mounting point with (2) 8mm x 70mm Hex Bolts, (4)
8mm Flat Washers, (2) 8mm Lock Washers and (2) 8mm Hex Nuts, (Figure 3). IMPORTANT:
Mounting point on Side Panel features multiple slots to adjust the final installed height of the
Basket Assembly. Attach the Bracket Assembly to the lower slots to start then lower Basket
to desired height to clear roof when fully loaded. Repeat this Step to install the remaining (3)
Bracket assemblies. NOTE: Attach all Mounting Brackets to the same sets of slots at each
mounting point. Snug but do not tighten hardware at this time.
STEP 8- With assistance, carefully place the Basket assembly onto the roof of the vehicle
with Brackets flat against roof. VERY IMPORTANT: Basket assembly is heavy, cover all
mounting locations on roof of vehicle with a layer of removable tape (masking tape for
example) to prevent damage to the finish of the vehicle, (Figure 4). Line up Basket assembly
with vehicle as desired.
STEP 9- Determine the correct mounting method for your model/year, (Figure 5).
2011-16 Ford Super Duty –
1. Select (1) Narrow Spacer (1” wide) and (1) matching Rubber Seal. Apply adhesive backed
Seal to Spacer, (Figure 6). NOTE: Slots are closer together on the Narrow Spacer than the
1-1/2” wide spacer designed for 17-18 models.
2. Lift up driver/left front corner of Basket assembly. Slide (1) Spacer with Seal into channel
in roof and under Bracket assembly, (Figures 6 & 7). Line up slots in Spacer with Bracket
assembly. Repeat this Step to install remaining (3) Spacers.
3. Make sure Basket assembly is in the desired position and centered on the vehicle. Mark
center and inner slot locations of each Bracket assembly onto the roof of the vehicle,
(Figure 8). Do not mark the (2) outer slots, these mounting holes will not be utilized.
4. Temporarily remove the Basket assembly. Skip to Step 10 to continue installation.
2017-18 Ford Super Duty –
1. Select (1) Wide Spacer (1-1/2” wide) and (1) matching Rubber Seal, (Figure 9). Apply Seal
