sory) The carrier feet are marked with a top view
of the car and an arrow indicating their
positions.

foot of the carrier (the foot with a knob for
tightening) to protect the paintwork
during assembly.

fixing holes. On Coupés, the cover
plates for the rearmost points of attach-
ment must be removed.

roof, with the rigid foot towards you. Hold
the foot clear of the roof to avoid damag-
ing the paintwork.

ting the rear carrier on Coupés, press
the foot down over the pins in the mount-
ing and slide it forward.
