ATTACH LATERAL HOOKS

•  Position the lateral hooks to the outside edge of the trunk lip, hatch lip or 

rear door lip. The hook location will be determined when the straps are under 

tension. The straps should always be at a 90° angle from the attached edge.

ATTACH LOWER HOOKS

•  Attach the two lower strap hooks, the preferred location is the bottom edge of 

the trunk/hatch. If this location is not working, try the underside of the bumper 

(if the bumper is secure enough), or metal frame members under the vehicle. 

Be sure that the strap is not rubbing against sharp objects that could cut the 

straps. TIGHTEN ALL STRAPS.

• Left and right tow hooks under the vehicle.

• Holes or edge of the metal bumper, behind the plastic bumper cover.
