damage.
• Removal and re-installation of cross-
bars requires purchase of new M6
bolts (T99R1 5RL0A-S1) or the re-
application of thread-locking adhe-
sive such as LOCTITE® , 242® , or
equivalent.
• Do not attempt to adjust fasteners
on the underside of the end sup-
ports. Fasteners are pre-adjusted to
the proper torque requirement by
the manufacturer. 1. Manually remove all 8 protective caps
from the roof rack rails. See Fig. 1.
