ASSEMBLY OF CROSS-BARS
1. Ensure the roof is clean, free from dust and grease.
2. Insert the neck of the End-Support into the void of the Cross-bar prole.
They are designed to be a tight t: use a rubber mallet if necessary (Fig.1)
3. Pull back the rubber Buer Strip about 20mm until the screw hole can be
accessed.(Fig. 2) Using a Phillips Head Screwdriver, fasten the screw through the
cross-bar and into the End Support. Do this for all four sides and replace the
buer strip.
NOTE: The longer cross-bars are to be tted to the front of the vehicle. Check
labelling on the underside of the cross-bar.
FITTING CROSS-BARS TO VEHICLE
4. Gently place the Hard Pads onto the vehicle roof relative to the positions
shown in Fig.3.
Place the pre-assembled front and rear Cross-Bar Assemblies onto the Hard Pads.
The End Supports should locate inside the Hard Pads as a snug t.
5. Using a Tape Measure, measure equal spacing from the edges of the roof
channel, to ensure the rack is instaled in the middle of the roof. Using a Soft-tip
Lead Pencil, mark around all the Hard Pads as well as the 3 rivet holes per Pad.
(Fig. 3)
6. Remove the cross-bar assemblies and all other components from the roof.
Using a 5mm Diameter Drill-bit, carefully drill out holes in the vehicle roof.
A Drill Stop is recommended when drilling to prevent drilling through the
interior roof lining. The drill should only penetrate the exterior metal roof body.
Carefully remove all metal swarf waste from the roof.
7. Insert the Hex into the bottom side of each Hard Pad. Apply a Silicone
Adhesive Sealant (ie, Butyl Mastic/Neutral Cure Silicone) in and around the Hex
Nut hole, then insert the Hex Nut into position.
8. Position the Hard Pads back onto the vehicle roof, ensuring the drilled holes in
the roof and the mount holes in the Hard Pads are aligned. Use your pencil-
marked contour lines to guide you. Locate rivets through the holes and proceed
to Pop all the rivets. (refer to Fig. 4 as a guide)
9. Fit the Cross-bar assemblies in place and secure using the Security Bolts.
Tighten the bolts until a rm hand tightness is achieved.
10. You are now ready to mount your accessory set onto the cross-bars using the
Global Mount Channel. Once installed, insert the ‘Global Channel’Covers into the
End Supports. You have a choice of 2 - (a) quick access snap-on cover or (b) long
term mounting - security cover to cap o and lock the mount channel. (Fig. 4)
11. When Cross-bars are not required on the vehicle, remove the crossbars and
insert the Rubber Inserts to cap o the mount faces. (Fig. 6)
FINAL CHECK
After loading, check bolt tightness before departing, and also check regularly
during long journeys.
CAUTION:
When installing this roof rack ensure the rivets do not damage or inhibit the
eective use of Curtain Airbags. If you are in any doubt regarding the installation
of this roof rack, please consult with your vehicle manufacturer or Rola Dealer.

APPENDICES & ADDITIONAL ‘FITMENT SPECIFIC’ FITTING STEPS - IF REQUIRED
INSERTING COVERS
This area has been intentionally left blank.
It is essential for the proper assembly, operation and use of the Roof Rack that the instructions and safety precautions
supplied are strictly observed. Read any fitting, care and usage instruction carefully.
The maximum permissible load for your Roof Bar is the lower of the maximum load capacity specified in your vehicle opera-
tion 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.
Stop and check all screw connections, bolts and retaining straps after a short distance of travel. Repeat these checks at regular
intervals.
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 of 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.
