Place the assembled racks onto the roof bars. The bars must be at
least 24” between the bars.
1. Line up the two Contour “J” Racks. With bracket # 5 on the opposite side
of the bar, inserts 2 #8 bolts through the grommet and into bracket #5
and attach the nuts.
NOTE:
The rack is supplied with two lengths of bolts.
If the bolts are too short use the longer ones (#12).
