If you run out of room on the ratchet, loosen
the ratchet buckle by pressing the black button
in the center of the lever and loosen the ratchet
to the first ‘click’. Then retighten the cam buckle
and following that the ratchet buckle.
When the enclosure is straight on the sides
over the doors and there is no sagging, close the
ratchet lever, fold up the and cover the buckles
with the protective fabric flap.
6. Attach the enclosure to the wheel
wells and bumper.
Remove from the bag containing the strap and
velcro the four 1" x 8" pieces of adhesive backed
hook material.
Near each wheel cutout toward the bottom you
will find a strip of loop material sewn to the inside
of your enclosure. Note where the loop on the
enclosure contacts the car, mate the hook strip
to the loop strip on the enclosure, remove the
adhesive backing and press the strip on the car in
side-release buckle into the opposite web loop
on the other side of the car.
Clip the strap buckle into the buckle end on
the web strap and tighten the strap. Slip excess
strap under the strap keeper and slide the strap
keeper down toward the end of the excess strap.
5. Cinch the top tight from the back.
Your enclosure hangs from a top strap that
encircles the top of the four car roof posts.
When this top strap is tight your enclosure will
stay up and be secure.
At the top and back of the enclosure is a fabric
flap covering a cam buckle and a ratchet buckle
to tighten the top strap.
Open the flap and locate the strap exiting from
the cam buckle on the right side. Holding the
back of the enclosure up toward the roof, tighten
this strap until the enclosure is held up along the
top of your car just along the roof line.
Now tighten the top strap further with the
ratchet buckle at the left. To tighten, lift the
ratchet lever up to the left. Each time you
move the lever the ratchet will tighten the
strap one ‘click’.
