onto the vehicle’s roof mounting holes. Do not tighten
screws until Step 2.3
Apply Anti-Seize to all M8 T Bolt studs, then attach to

Prior to assembling the Channels and
hardware, the OEM roof holes must be
chased using an M8 x 1.25 Chasing or
Thread Cleaning tap and uid. Doing so
will ensure accurate torque is achieved.
