Remove the two T-top roofs.
Disconnect the power socket and water
pipe in the back left corner of the vehicle.
Using a T40 Torx Wrench, remove the six
torx bolts holding the rear roof to the
vehicle's body.
Remove the two torx bolts either side of
the front headrests holding the rear roof
the vehicle's body.
With the help of a friend, lift the roof off
the vehicle.
Drill 4mm pilot holes on the marks you
have made.
Change the 4mm drill bit to a 22mm hole
saw. Drill all the 4mm holes (8 in total)
out to 22mm.
Let the drill do the work. You do not
want to scratch or damage your
vehicle's roof. Have your friend hold the
vacuum cleaner underneath where you
are drilling to catch all the dust and
keep your vehicle clean.
After drilling, clean the area around all
the 22mm holes in the roof with a rag
and methylated spirits/denatured
alcohol.
Place the left and right Foot Rails (Item
12LH & 12RH) in position as shown. Mark
the position of the four mounting feet.
Remove the Rails. Using masking tape,
tape the marked area on the roof where
the mounting feet sat. This is done to help
protect your vehicle's roof when drilling in
2.3.
Place the brackets back in position,
making sure to align the Foot Rail with the
ribs on the roof.
Using a measuring tape, adjust the Rails
so the centre of the rear hole is 130mm in
from the rear edge of the roof and 3mm
from the edge of the outer rib as shown.
Mark the position of all the holes onto the
roof.

Loosen velcro, unzip and remove the

rear of the vehicle and the ribs of the
bracket must be on the inside of the roll
bar.
Align the holes in the Inner Brackets (Item
1LH & 1RH) with the holes drilled in 2.3.
Place the Inner Bracket Clamp (Item 2)
around the outside of the roll bar and
secure the Inner Bracket (Item 1) to the roll
bar using M6 Nyloc Nuts and M6 x 12 x 1
Flat Washers (Items 8 & 9) as shown.
Do this on both left and right side of the

If not already assembled, assemble your
Tray as per the Universal Tray Assembly
Instructions (Document RRSTUNI)
Clean the area around all the 22mm
holes drilled in the roof with a rag and
methylated spirits/denatured alcohol.
Insert the Aluminum Spacers (Item 5)
into the Foam Washer (Item 7). Remove
the paper backing from the Foam
washer to expose the adhesive.
Insert the washer/spacer assembly,
adhesive side down, into the 22mm
holes so that the spacer comes to rest
on the Rear Support Brackets
underneath.
Firmly press the foam washer all the
way around securing it to the roof.
After fitting the wind deflectors, the tray
should still be upside down, loosely
mount the Foot Rails (Item 12L & 12R
from FAJK010 box) to the Tray using M8
x 20 Hex Bolts, M8 X 16 X 1.6SS Flat
Washers and M8 Nyloc Nuts (Items 11,
13 & 14). As before use the machined
slots to insert the hex bolts into the
Slats.
The Foot Rail should be mounted to the
tray with the product sticker at the
opposite end of the wind deflector.
The rear of the Foot Rail must mount
onto the very last Slat (Combined Slat)
and approximately 80mm in from the
outer edge of the side of the Tray. Do not
tighten the bolts yet.
13mm
NOTE: Before fitting the Wind
Deflector, insert two M8 x 16 Hex
Bolts (Item 11 from FAJK010) or
if you are fitting a full rack (Item 1
from FAJK009) into the first slat
(Combined Slat), using the
Machined slots. Slide a bolt to each
of the outer corners.

FIT AND SECURE
With the help of a friend, flip the Tray
end over end so that it is in the upright
position. (The Tray is flipped end over
end so that bolts and brackets do not
slide left and right).
With one of you on either side of the
Tray, lift the Tray and walk it into
position above the vehicle, approaching
from either the front or the rear of the
vehicle.
The Foot Rail should still be loose
enough to move. Line the brackets up
with the holes on the roof and fasten
them into position using M6 x 19 x 1SS
Flat Washers, M6 x 30 (Items 4, 6, 8 & 9
from FAJK010 box). Centre the tray from
left to right. Use a tape measure to
double check. Once you are happy that
the Tray is in the correct position, fasten
all the nuts and bolts, both inside and
outside of the vehicle on all brackets
that were installed.
Fit the Plastic Nut Caps (Item 3 from
FAJK010 box) provided over all the
exposed bolts and close up all the roll
bar padding.

Should you wish to remove your rack,
you will need to plug the holes you
drilled in the roof (Step 3.4), using the
supplied Sealing Plug Assemblies.
Remove the Tray, Front Uprights and the
Foot Rail, by reversing the instillation
procedure. Leave the Foam Washer and
the Aluminum Spacers in place. Screw in
the Sealing Plugs reusing the M6 Nyloc
Nuts and Washers that held the Foot Rail
in position.
