EASY ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
The racks come with a one page sheet listing the parts on one side and a diagram on the other. The kit comes with a dinky little wrench but toss that and get yourself a 1/2 socket wrench. Unless you have a very deep 1/2 socket you will also need a 1/2 box or open-end wrench to tighten beyond the depth of your socket. You can do without the socket wrench … it's just more work without it.
Here's the secret to assembly. You must place the rubber piece in boiling water for about 40-45 seconds! If you don't do this, you are in for a very frustrating and irritating experience. Also, I recommend assembling one bracket at a time … boil one rubber piece, assemble, boil the next rubber piece, assemble, etc. (I bought 2 sets so I had to do 4) so that the rubber is as pliable as possible when you need it to be.
Another tip … lube the tips of the metal pieces. Lube the inside of the larger piece and the outside of smaller piece with Vaseline so they will slide together easily.
Assembly:
1. Slide the larger piece into the rubber from either side. Refer to the diagram to make sure the rubber is right side up.
2. Slide the smaller piece into the other end of the rubber and line up the tips so one will slip inside the other. Once you get them mated, just give them a shove until fully seated (pretty easy if you lubed them).
3. Next, peer down thru all 6 holes and massage the rubber piece so that you have clear passage thru the entire structure for all 6 holes. Once you have that lined up, insert the 4 corner bolts. Put the metal plate in place, add the washers and tighten with the locknuts as shown in the diagram.
4. Now insert the long bolts, washer and tighten using the regular hex nuts (if you do this before tightening the corner bolts, the long bolts will impede your box or open-end wrench). NOTE: The diagram shows the washer and nut going on the long bolts underneath the bottom bracket … THE DIAGRAM IS WRONG! All bolts should be tightened against the same metal plate.
5. That's it for the assembly. Just set each rack on the roof rail of your car, slide the bottom bracket in place and tighten with the plastic knobs.
