Roof
The installation of components on the roof will reduce the aerodynamic efficiency of the vehicle.
This can reduce the vehicles range and could cause wind noise.
Roof lights and Vents
The vehicle has seven approved locations for the installation of exterior roof lights or roof vents.
– You must refer to Roof,
and only drill holes in the locations shown.
– Holes in the roof panels must be sealed with an LEVC approved sealant to prevent water
leakage into the vehicle.
– Lights or vents attached to the roof must have base plate installed inside the vehicle. The
base plate must be the same size and shape as the base of the light or vent. A base plate
increases the surface area used by fasteners to attach to the light or vent to the roof, this
prevents damage to the roof.
Roof Racks
The vehicle is equipped with mounting points in the roof for the installation of a roof rack, or
other roof mounted equipment. Remove the blanking caps to access the M8 female fasteners.
If you install a roof rack or roof mounted equipment:
– The maximum load on the roof must not exceed
100 kg
.
– The load on the roof rack must be evenly distributed.
– Use the fasteners supplied by the roof rack manufacturer.
– Apply sealant to the fasteners to prevent water ingress.
– Tighten the fasteners to a maximum torque of
35 (Nm)
.
– Align the front edge of the roof rack/ equipment with the join between the door and the
