3. Use a long, flat object to depress
the tongue in the endcaps on both
sides of the cross-bar.
4. Slide the cross-bar assembly off
the end of the rail.
Be sure to check that the thumbwheels are tight each time load is
added, or removed from the roof rack, and periodically while traveling.
Always ensure the load is secure before traveling.
Note: When the cross bars are installed and unloaded, noise can be
minimized by removing, or re-positioning the cross bars. Position the
forward cross bar rearward of the center of the roof rail system by 2.5 in
(63.5 mm) and space the second cross bar 2.5 in (63.5 mm) from the
forward cross bar.
To reinstall the cross-bar assembly (if equipped) to the roof rack
side rails:
1. Ensure that both cross-bar
assemblies are installed with the F
(front) arrow facing towards the
front of the vehicle.
2. Use a long, flat object to press
the tongue in the endcaps on both
sides of the cross-bar.
3. Slide the cross-bar assemblies
over the end cap tongue and into
the side rails.
4. Tighten thumbwheel at both ends
of the cross-bar.
