ALIGNMENT IS KEY HERE TO ACHIEVE A HIGH QUALITY END RESULT, SO USE
YOUR EYES TO ALIGN THE PANELS STRAIGHT WITH THE CROSSBARS. THE
MOUNTING SLOTS HAVE A WIDE RANGE TO ACCOUNT FOR ANY
MISALIGNMENT THAT MAY HAVE OCCURRED DURING ASSEMBLY OF THE
RACK.
NOTE-
WE RECOMMEND APPLYING BLUE LOCTITE (OR SIMILAR
THREADLOCKER) TO THE SCREWS THAT HOLD THE FLOOR SECTIONS
DOWN TO THE CROSSBARS TO ENSURE THEY DO NOT COME LOOSE
WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS NOT NECESSARY ON FRONT AND REAR BOLTS
WITH NYLOCK NUTS.
