Alternate Mounting
If you are not using the visor clip installation described on the previous page,
continue below.
Because of the wide variety of mounting applications, Star
Headlight & Lantern Co., Inc. assumes no responsibility for
the secure mounting of this light. It is the responsibility of the
installer and/or owner to ensure the lightbar is mounted
securely. Check your light every time you enter the vehicle to
ensure that it is mounted securely.
1.
Some vehicles may not have visor clips
appropriate for the previously described
installation
, or may completely lack any visor clips.
An alternate mounting screw hole is provided in the
bracket for these situations. This hole can be used
with an appropriate user supplied screw or other
suitable fastener.
2. If you are using the alternate mounting screw hole, you will need to locate the roof
brace under the headliner of the vehicle.
3. Once you have located the roof brace, pick an area to mount the brackets (one on
each side) that is a minimum of 3” from the center of your window and a maximum
of 8”.
4. You must then determine an appropriate size screw to penetrate the headliner and
securely mount the brackets to the roof brace. When selecting a screw, take care to
ensure that it is capable of supporting the weight of the light and it will not penetrate
the roof of the vehicle.
5. Carefully drill any necessary pilot holes in your roof brace.
CAUTION: Take care to
ensure when selecting a screw and drilling the hole that it is capable of
supporting the weight of the light and that it does not penetrate the roof of the
vehicle.
6. Install the screws through each bracket.
7. If necessary, adjust your light as described in Step 10 on page 6.
CAUTION!!! Once the light is secured, route your cord such that it
does not interfere with the vision of the driver or the operation of the
steering wheel, gear shifter, and/or any airbags.
