Placement of End Support onto Vehicle Roof
Fitting Strap inside End Support
Ensure straps correspond with mount positions on
the vehicle before installing them into the End Supports.
Use strap “notches” as shown above - to identify the
correct strap corresponding to its mount location.
1. Feed Strap neck through cavity in End Support (Fig 1a).
When Strap neck has been pushed through (1), rotate strap
downwards (2) until mount holes in end support and cage nut
inside the strap are aligned.
Prior to Assembly, check that your Roof Rack Box contains all
the parts as listed above. Ensure the vehicle roof is clean and dry.
Please note, that some illustrations depicted in these instructions
are only representative and your items may look different.
Read these Instructions carefully before commencing.
You will need a cutting blade/knife to cut the buffer strip to the
required length (Step 11).
You can use a protective cloth when installing your
racks to protect the vehicle’s roof from any dents and scratches.
3. When threading the bolt through the cage-nut, ensure to
allow a gap of approx. 24mm from the top of the strap neck to
the bolt mount face. (Fig 1c.)
This will aid with the fitment as described in Fig 2c.
2. Use Assembly ‘L’ Key to feed bolt into strap cage-nut.
Bolt Head should mate flush with its mount face. (Fig 1b)
TIP: Pull buffer strip
back ~40mm inside
the cross-bar to allow
good access for
Assembly “L” Key to
fit into bolt head.
This will assist when
fastening items
together.
4. The Pads all have a vehicle roof position
identification text on the top inside surface,
NOTE: As seen from the driver’s position.
Front Right, Front Left,
Rear Right, Rear Left.
5. Using the vehicle’s B Pillar as a guide,
place the pads as specified in Fig 2a & 2b.
The pads should be a total of 700mm apart.
Ensure Mount Pads correspond with
mount positions on the vehicle. Your Pad
Kit may look different than illustration.

• It is essential for the proper assembly, operation and use of the Roof
Rack that the instructions and safety precautions supplied are strictly
observed.
• The maximum permissible load for your Roof Bar is the lower of the
maximum load capacity specified in your vehicle operation manual, or
specified as applying to the Roof Rack. Do not exceed the maximum
specified load capacity.
Maximum permissible load = weight of the Roof Rack + weight of
accessories + weight of load (cargo).
• When fitting the Roof Rack and transporting a load, ensure the
vehicle's functions are not impaired (eg, sunroof, aerials, windscreen
wipers, mirrors). Rear doors on Hatch- and Wagon-type vehicles should
be inspected for adequate clearance for full opening operation of the
boot/tailgate.
Warnings
• Remember that the fitting of a Roof Rack and the transport of a load increases the overall height of the carrying vehicle.
• Where the Roof Rack is to be used in off-road conditions, a safety weight reduction of 1.5 should be observed from the total carrying capacity (eg 60kg becomes 40kg).
• Cequent will not be liable to the purchaser or any other person for any consequential, incidental, direct or indirect loss, damage or costs incurred or suffered by the purchaser or any other
person including but not limited to damage to persons or property, loss of turnover, loss of profits, loss of business or goodwill, arising from or in relation to the assembly and use of the Roof
Rack, or the non-observance of the fitting and care instructions.

it outwards of the roof body. (Refer to Step in Fig 2c.)
Next, proceed to pull the strap down over the roof body
and into its designated place around the door return.
(Refer to Step in Fig 2c.)
Ensure the protective rubber on the straps doesn’t
come away so as not to damage vehicle paint.
7. Using the Assembly ‘L’ Key supplied, tighten the bolt
to pull strap upwards against the vehicle’s door return
channel. (Fig 2d)
IMPORTANT: Please refer to Fig 5 at bottom of page for
Front and Rear Strap tightened state conditions.
TIP: Whilst tensioning the straps, alternate from left to right hand sides to
ensure even tention on both sides.
8. Locate ends of hinge with cover mount holes.
Flex hinge ends together and line up with cover
mount holes.
Push ends through holes until capped heads of
hinge have entirely pushed through (Fig 3a).
9. Ensure hinge has been mounted correctly
by pushing ends through until you hear an
audible ‘click’ (Fig 3b).
10. Fully extend cover away from End-Support.
Pivot cover on hinge whilst pushing top
downwards until cover is held fixed (Fig 3c).
Fig 2d.
13. Ensure ALL End Support covers are pushed
hard up against the End Support (Fig. 4c/4d).
You should hear an audible ‘click’ when cover is
fully engaged (Fig. 4d).
11. You are now ready to mount your
accessories, eg. Bike Carrier, Kayak carrier, etc.
utilising the ‘Global Channnel’ if applicable(Fig. 4a)
Be sure to cut the buffer strip to size to
completely cover the Global channel once your
accessory is fitted onto the crossbars.
12. Lock all 4 covers into place with key
provided (Fig. 4b). Remove key and store in a
safe place - eg. with car keys/glove box.
