2. Slide the roof bar half way back on the claw fastener -12-. 

Once this procedure is complete, the positioning bolt -X- 

must be aligned so that it sits centrally between the     

starting position and the stop.

3. Remove the assembly tool.
4. Perform the identical procedure on the other side of the  

vehicle.

Align the roof bar on the side — note the position on the 

roof edge -arrow-.

The gap -a- must not exceed 1mm.

If the rubber supports on the support bracket housing are not 

flush to the surface, we recommend that you have the width 

adjustment checked by a qualified workshop 

 “4.5 Setting 

the roof bar width” on page 12

. Remove the roof bars before 

doing so.

Gently tighten the bolts -13- alternately using the torque 

wrench -15-.

Check the position of the support base housing -A- and 

claw fastener -B- and correct if necessary.

Tighten one tensioning bolt -13- after another using the 

torque wrench -15- until the torque wrench makes an     

audible clicking sound. This indicates that the correct 

torque has been applied.

Close the cover flap -16- and close the lock -17- with the 

key -18-.

Follow the same procedure to install the second roof bar.
