Roof Rack Leg Cover & Cross Bar Installation during PDS
Cross Bar Installation Procedure (Continued)
2. Slide the cross bar ends into the grooves of
the right and left roof rack rails with the arrow
on each cross bar facing forward.
NOTE
The cross bars will create wind noise at
highway speeds if they are installed
backwards.
3. Align the ends of the front and rear cross
bars with the paint marks on the roof rack as
illustrated. Securely tighten the knobs.
NOTE
Placing the cross bars at the paint marks on
the roof rack side rails minimizes wind noise
generated by the cross bars.
