EZ6016 Mounting:
1. Attach the EZ6015 mount to the EZ6016 mounting plate using the supplied hardware. Use the countersunk holes in the mounting plate
that allow the feet to sit on a flat part of the roof. Place the entire assembly on the roof of the vehicle. See Figure 3.

5. Press on each of the 4 feet evenly with at least 30 pounds of force for at least 5 seconds. Return the plate assembly to the roof of the
vehicle, and line up the holes of the four feet with the mounting brackets. Replace the four 1/4”-20 screws and star washers. (Do not fully
tighten until all four screws are in place.) Once all screws are in place and the assembly is suitably located, tighten all screws to 4.5 ft-lbs.
Wait 72 hours before driving vehicle for VHB to reach ultimate bond strength.
** Time for bond strength is greatly affected by time. At room temp 70F (21C) bond strength will be at 50% in 20 minutes and 90% after 24 hours. Temperature as low as 50F(10C)
can take more than 72 hours to reach 90%. Elevated temperatures (e.g. 150F [66C]) can speed up bond time, acheiving 80% in 20 minutes and 99% in one hour.
Cleanliness and application temperature has a significant affect on product performance.
2. Attach desired product to the EZ6016 mounting plate.
3. Loosen the four 1/4”-20 button head screws that attach the feet to the mounting brackets so that the feet can pivot freely. (Do not
completely remove the screws.) Prepare the roof of the vehicle by cleaning roof with detergent and water. Prepare the surface by wiping
with isopropyl alcohol pads. Coat the area with the tape primer and allow the primer to dry thoroughly. The surface temperature should be at
least 50°F(10°C) but 70°F(21°C) is preferred. Remove the backing on the VHB tape on one side of the mount sub-assembly and place it on
the roof of the vehicle. Make sure that enough pressure is applied so that the mount will stay temporarily in place. Repeat for the other side
of the assembly.
4. Remove the four 1/4”-20 button head screws and star washers from the mounting bracket and set aside. Remove the plate assembly
(with the brackets still attached) from the vehicle roof and set aside. See Figure 4.
