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 - REFER TO FIG. 3
4. Slide the Hex Nuts along the Track. Place the cross-bar assemblies onto the
track. position the End Supports equal distances from the end of the Track
(approximately 20mm). Tightly t the Security Screws through the End Support
and into the Hex Nut.
5. Place complete assembly onto the roof (Do not remove the Adhesive Backing
Tape at this stage). Loosen the Security Bolts and measure equal distances on
either side and Front to Rear of tracks to ensure correct positioning.
6. Lightly mark positions of track and rivet holes on the roof using a soft-tip Lead
Pencil. Proceed to tighten the security bolts again and remove the entire
assembly o the roof.
7. Drill holes into the roof using a 5mm drill bit. The drill-bit should only
penetrate the roof metal panel, hence a drill stop is recommended. Take care not
to drill through the interior roof lining. Remove all metal swarf waste from the
roof.
8. Apply a Silicone Adhesive Sealant (ie, Butyl Mastic/Neutral Cure Silicone) in and
around holes. Next, remove the Adhesive Backing Tape from the underside of the
Tracks and reposition the entire Roof-rack assembly onto the roof ensuring all
holes are aligned. Loosen all Security Bolts.
9. Fit the End-caps to the tracks with the open cap onto the rear and the closed
cap onto the front of the tracks. Fit the Rivets through the holes in the Track and
through the drilled holes in the vehicle roof. Downwards pressure may be
required onto the tracks whilst riveting them to ensure they remain xed hard-up
against the roof curvature.
10. Secure the Cross-bar assemblies in place fastening and tightening the
security bolts through the End Supports and into the Hex Nuts in the tracks.
A rm hand tightness is required.
11. 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)
FINAL CHECK
Ensure that Cross-bars are parallel and square to the front and rear axis of the
vehicle. After loading, check bolt tightness and ensure that Locking Straps are
correctly engaged to the vehicle.
Number of rivets is
dependent on the
length of the track.
Generally there should
be 1 rivet for every hole
in the track.

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.
