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
Mounts using the indicated hardware. Do not tighten
until Step 2.2
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.
