• Make sure to have consistent upward pressure on the housing when tightening
the bolts.
• It is IMPORTANT that the main large side brackets, referenced above, are tightened to the
housing first, then upward onto the roof structure, then outward to the body.
• While installing the housing, Do NOT install a couple of bolts and let the housing hang.
This could potentially damage the housing and cause warping, which could lead to poor
seal fitment.
