1997 GMC JIMMY roof

Lugg-xe Car-% (If 'D,qr%ped)
IN:
If you try to carry something on top of your
vehicle that is longer or wider than the luggage
carrier
-- like paneling, plywood, a mattress, and
so forth -- the wind can catch it as you drive
along. This can cause you to lose control. What
you are carrying could be violently torn
off, and
this could cause you or other drivers to have a
collision, and
of course damage your vehicle. You
may be able to carry something like this inside.
But, never carry something longer or wider than
the luggage carrier on top
of your vehicle.
The luggage carrier has slats, side rails and crossrails
attached
to the roof to secure cargo. The moveable tie
downs: attached
to the side rails, should be used to
secure loads to the luggage carrier.
Use
GM accessory racks that are compatible with your
luggage carrier for transporting sports equipment.
These are available through your
GM dealer.

Remove the center rubber strips in the crossrails and
attach the
GM accessory rack to the nut plates provided
through the center slots (four per crossrail).
The tap plates can be moved to accommodate
various
positions by sliding them inside the crossrail to the
desired locations before mounting the accessory rack.
You can adjust the crossrails to handle different sized
laads. Just loosen the slider knobs at tach end af the
crossrail and move them to where you want them Make
sure both sides of the crossrail are even, then tighten
the slider knobs.
Be me the cargo is properly loaded. Follow these guidelines:
Carrying small, heavy loads on the roof is not
recommended.
Tie the load to the moveable tie down (two per each
side of the side rails). Use the crossrails only to keep
the load from sliding.
as far apart as possible. Tie the load to the moveable
tie downs provided in the side rails. Also tie the load
to the bumpers. Do not tie the load so tightly that the
crossrails or side rails are damaged.
