Instruction #1036057B - Page 2 of 11
IMPORTANT WARNING!
It is critical that all Yakima racks and accessories be properly and securely attached to
your vehicle. Improper attachment could result in an automobile accident, and could cause serious bodily injury
or death to you or to others. You are responsible for securing the racks and accessories to your car, checking
the attachments prior to use, and periodically inspecting the products for adjustment, wear, and damage.
Therefore, you must read and understand all of the instructions and cautions supplied with your Yakima
product prior to installation or use. If you do not understand all of the instructions and cautions, or if you have
no mechanical experience and are not thoroughly familiar with the installation procedures, you should have
the product installed by a professional installer such as a qualified rack specialty installer or auto body shop.

REMOVE THE WEATHER STRIPPING FROM THE DRIVER’S SIDE.
A.
Grasp the weather-stripping at
the location above where the
doors meet and roll it towards you
to begin to gently pry it up. Do
not bend or deform the weather-
stripping more than necessary.
B.
Work your way toward the
windshield until the front-end of
the weather-stripping is free.
C.
Now gently work your way back
to the rear-end of the weather-
stripping. You will encounter a
section that is secured by an
adhesive. Be careful not to bend
or deform the weather-stripping
more than necessary as you pull to
free the weather-stripping from
the adhesive. At the end of the
weather-stripping you will need
to pry up the end piece in order to
completely remove the weather-
stripping from the vehicle. Set the
weather-stripping aside.
