Starting and operating NOTE It may be necessary to start the inner clamp and end support at the center of the roof rail for easier installation, then move the crossbar forward. Use care not to cross-thread the screw in the insert if it has been removed. 5. Adjust the alignment of the crossbar on the roof rails and tighten to 30 to 35 inch lbs. (3.4 to 4.0 N-m, 0.35 to 0.41 kg-m) with the torxR tool provided. If available, you may use a T-30 torxR bit and torque wrench to tighten the crossbar torxR head screw. Rear crossbar: HS1007BB Install the rear crossbar in the same manner as the front crossbar. NOTE The rear crossbar should be positioned 6 inches (150 mm) forward of the rear radius in the roof rail. NOTE Before each use of the roof crossbar, make sure the four T-30 crossbar clamp screws have been checked, and re-tightened, if necessary, to 35 in. lbs. (4.0 N-m, 0.41 kg-m), as outlined in Step #5 above. - CONTINUED - 8-21
