1. Install the rubber seal supplied with the mounting
kit onto the front edge of the lightbar, where it
comes in contact with the vehicle window.
(Some lightbars are shipped with the seal already
mounted.)
2. Hold the lightbar up against the vehicle window in
the exact position it will be mounted.
(The seal
that comes in contact with the window must fully
engage the window.)
With the lightbar in position
and centered, use masking tape to mark the
exact position of the two outside ends of the
lightbar onto the vehicle window
(See Fig. 1 of 2017 Tahoe)
.
3. Remove the lightbar then remove the moulding
from the vehicle that covers the lightbar
bracket mounting area.
4. Secure the mounting brackets
to the lightbar using the

Screws.
5. Position the lightbar in its exact mounting position lining it up with the tape you installed
and mark the mounting holes onto the vehicle.
6. Remove the lightbar and remove the mounting brackets from the lightbar.
7. With the lightbar brackets positioned to line up with the mounting hole locations marked off in step 5, mount the lightbar brackets to the vehicle using the
self tapping screws included in the mounting kit (Figs. 2 & 3).
8. Hold the vehicle moulding (removed in step3) up to the vehicle and mark the places it will have to be cut to accommodate the lightbar mounting
