Follow these guidelines to position your frames on your car.

UPPER FRAME

• With triggers out, adjust

upper frame until it rests
on the vehicle.

• The position is relative to

the lower frame and will
depend on vehicle shape.

LOWER FRAME

• A common location is a well-

supported license plate depression,
just above or below the numbers.

• Press the area firmly with your hand.

If deformation occurs, choose another
location.

CAUTIONS:
• Do not place the lower frame on glass, plastic, or thin metal.
• Some SUV’s, vans, and wagons have a large section of poorly

supported metal that will dent under weight.

CAUTION: Some vehicles have a spoiler. If any

part of the carrier contacts the spoiler, do not

use this product.

CAUTION: Although your carrier is covered by a warranty (see
final page), Yakima cannot warranty any installation onto any
vehicle that is not listed in the Yakima Fit List or Joe Fit Sheet.
