Ensure zipper is fully closed and protected by the flap, with the logo at the back. Keep zipper flap pointing down.
Loosen over-tight straps to prevent door seal deformation and rainwater entry. Loosen completely when car is parked.
Fill carrier fully if possible. Cushion sharp objects. Distribute weight evenly to avoid roof denting.
Secure loose fabric creases with straps to prevent noise, lower gas mileage, and fabric damage.
Attach straps only to strong side rails or cross bars, not rain gutters or roof edges.
Straps should be snug but not over-tight to prevent roof damage. Check tension during travel.
Follow provided diagrams for correct strap angles to ensure optimum stability.
Twist straps to stop whistling. Wrap free ends to avoid flapping noise.
Lubricate zipper with silicone spray and flip flap corners for easier operation in cold temperatures.
Place carrier on a clean roof, align logo to the back, and position it at least 8 inches from the front roof edge.
Fill carrier as full as possible, placing bulky items in the rear and cushioning sharp objects.
Flip up zipper flap corners, close zippers on all sides until pullers meet, and flip down flap corners.
Place carrier between side rails, squeezing it into available space.
Place carrier between cross bars if there is enough space available.
Place the front of the carrier right behind the front cross bar. It can ride over the rear cross bar.
Use Pass-Through Straps (No-Rack Straps) as shown when cross bars are very close together.
Utilize pass-through straps instead of rack straps for specific installations, particularly with close cross bars.
Slide top strap under guides, run inside strap through doors, and connect buckles. Tighten straps snugly.
Route rear strap to top-rear corner of door frame, slanting down-forward. Route front strap similarly.
For 11 c.f. carrier, install top straps, then inside straps around pillars for secure attachment.
Install straps through front and side doors for vans with side doors, checking for interference.
Install straps in an X-pattern through front doors and rear side windows for vans with opening rear windows.
Install straps in an X-pattern through front doors and the rear gate or trunk for vans with a rear gate.
Attach hook straps to a hard ridge (approx. 1/2" wide/high) inside the top door frame.
Close door over strap, connect buckles, and tighten straps. Ensure hooks are not visible from outside.
Verify straps are taut, hooks are seated firmly on the ridge, and remain in place with doors open.
Best: both straps vertical. Acceptable: front strap vertical/slanting, rear strap vertical/slanting.
Avoid slanting straps down-rearward or forward, as this can cause movement or loosen straps.
