Open the vehicle rear hatch to ensure it does
not hit the rod box. If it does, change position
of either the rod box or the base rack.

If adjustable, allow as long a distance as possible between
the base racks. A longer distance will stabilize the rod box,
and keep the vehicle cross bars under less stress.
Some vehicle types have specific installation positions of the
base rack, and touching the rear hatch is unavoidable.
Open the rear hatch carefully not to damage the rod box.
Make sure the distance between the base racks is more than
24 " (600 mm).
If the distance is too narrow, too much pressure will be
exerted on the rod box, which may cause it to fall off the
vehicle.
Ensure the midpoint of the product is aligned with right
between the base racks.
Make sure to install the rod box so that it runs parallel with the
direction of the vehicle.
