Using the bases as a template, mark the drill holes (2 for each base), as shown in Figure 4.
In addition, mark the drill holes for the roof connector (if used) and before following these
instructions, install the connector using the instructions given in the roof connector manual.
3.2) FIXING THE SUPPORTING BRACKET BASES TO THE VEHICLE ROOF
When the roof connector has been installed, carry out the following steps:
- Drill the previously marked holes for the bases, using a drill bit of 6.5 mm in diameter.
(See Figure 5)
- Bond the 4 gaskets ("C" in Figure 1) to each of the fixing plates ("B" in Figure 1), as
shown in Figure 6. Stick down on the side where the hole is smooth (not reamed).
-Bond these 4 "fixing plate/gasket" units to the vehicle bodywork from inside the vehicle,
lining up the hole in the gasket with the bore hole. (See Figure 7).
-Place the gasket ("D" in Figure 1) on the roof and fit the supporting bracket base ("E" in
Figure 1) on to one of the two attachment points (Figure 8). Insert the 2 bar bracket lock nuts
("F" in Figure 1) into the 2 cavities on the supporting base (Figure 9).
-Screw down the M6x15 countersunk screws from inside the vehicle ("A" in Figure 1).
Repeat this process for the second fixture.
