ROOF RACK BASE SYSTEM
These fitting instructions must be retained and followed each
time the roof rack is assembled.
Figure 1. Remove cover plates provided on the vehicle
on the left and right-hand side. For this, turn
the locks 90 degrees anticlockwise and ease
out the cover.
Caution! Retain the cover plates, as they will
be needed again after the roof rack is disas-
sembled.
Figure 2. Before fitting the roof rack for the first time the
sealing compound in the area of the tapped
holes front and rear at the fastening points on
the roof must be removed.
Then unscrew the plastic plugs (cross-head).
Remove remains of sealing compound from
the tapped holes.
When fitting, screw in M6 bolts front and rear
(part N) to test seating (do not insert bolts at
an angle).
Caution! It must be possible to screw in the
bolts easily 6 turns by hand. If it is not, inspect
and clean threads.
Figures 3.-8 Preassembling roof rack
Caution: The rubber pads are marked on their
underside as follows:
1 = front left
3 = rear left
Do up fixing screws (J) loosely.
Figure 9. Fit cover plates (H) supplied.
Figures 10.-16.
Clean the roof surfaces at the points where the
feet of the roof rack are supported.
Align roof rack and tighten fixing screws. Use
only the fastenings supplied.
For this, screw in the bolts (N) by hand. Do not
use tools! Before screwing in the bolts turn the
butterfly nuts in the direction of the bolt head.
Caution: the bolts must screw in at least 6
turns. (Figure 11, 13) If this is not possible, the
roof rack must not be used.
Now tighten the butterfly nuts to 2.5 Nm by
hand (Figure 12, 14)
Then, using an Allen key (M), tighten the fixing
screws (J) to 8 Nm.
Make sure that the roof rack is correctly fitted
and fastened firmly to the vehicle!
