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.
MOUNTING BRACKETS
Apply Anti-Seize to all M8 x 25MM Flat Head Screws and
install the Channel Mounting Brackets with Foam Pads
onto the vehicle’s roof mounting holes. Do not tighten
screws until Step 2.3

using the indicated hardware. Do not tighten until Step 2.2
