INSTALLATION OF ‘OUTBACK’ ROOF CONSOLE
PRADO 120 series 02/03 – 09/09
Part No: RCPR03
Failure to connect coloured wiring correctly and tape up all connections as described in following
instructions will result in an electrical short and void console warranty.
For this installation you will need a
hand held
Phillips screwdriver,
short
Phillips screwdriver, electric or
battery drill, ‘stubby’ 3.5mm drill bit, steel ruler and insulation tape.
VEHICLE PREPARATION:
Swing Sun Visors around to side and lay flat to roof for ease of installation.
Remove map light assembly. To do this, slide a steel ruler up under
front
edge of light surround (front edge
facing windscreen). Lever map light assembly downwards slightly; grip with fingers and pull down out of
holding clips. Remove interior light in the same fashion; put both in a safe place for refit upon sale of vehicle.
Rear Fixing Plate Installation:
Insert ‘stubby’ 3.5mm drill bit into electric or battery drill ensuring
only
20mm
of drill bit protrudes from chuck. From where you have removed the interior light
carefully
drill a hole
centrally in one of the ‘ears’ located in the roof support frame (see Fig. A below). Using a
hand held
Phillips
screw driver fix Fastening Plate to drilled hole with a 10# x 10mm self tapping screw ensuring captive nut
points
downwards
. Now carefully drill through other hole in plate and fasten using remaining 10# x 10mm
screw. Press fit 14mm plastic spacer over captive nut (see Fig. B below).
Fasten Rear Fixing Plate through the marked hole into Fastening Plate
using 6mm x 20mm round head bolt ensuring captive nuts are to
front
of
vehicle and point
down.
Front Mounting Bracket Installation:
Hold Front Mounting
Bracket hard forward against front of hole in hood lining (from
where you removed map lights) and up against metal inner skin of
roof frame. Ensure captive nuts are to
rear
of vehicle and use same
3.5mm drill bit with
only 20mm
protruding and carefully drill through
one
hole in bracket at 45 degrees to the hole.
Note:
Drill through
first
and
second
inner skins at these points. Fasten bracket to
drilled hole using
hand held
phillips screw driver and one of the
10# x 20mm pan head screws. Drill through the other hole in the
same manner; fasten using other 10# x 20mm pan head screw.
