3. Installation Using
Hatch Anchors
The hatch anchors included with the F2
(Fig. 16) fit between your rear hatch and
vehicle body. They are used when the hooks
on the regular
straps can’t be used. If your
vehicle has a roof rack with load bars or raised
side rails, you may have to choose between the
hatch anchor or roof rack attachment system.
There are some vehicles (such as the Infiniti
J35) which will require the hatch anchors to be
used in either the side strap or bottom strap
position. Hatch anchors must be used with the
quick connect upper straps.
Installation on vehicle
a) Remove the regular upper straps from the
upper-most buckles and replace with the quick
connect straps (Fig 17). Insert the strap
through the bottom of the buckle while
depressing the buckle’s spring loaded tab.
Hooks should be facing up.
b) Open rear hatch and insert hatch anchor’s
strap with D-ring through the gap/opening. The
D ring is plastic coated and can lay on the car’s
roof. See Fig. 18 & 19.

connect D-ring to hook. (Fig. 22)
f) Tighten strap by pulling on strap end. Fold the
cover over the hook/D-ring and close up the
cover. (Fig. 23). Lower pads should remain
seated against bumper.
g) Attach the hooks on the lower straps to the
bottom of the trunk or hatch lid and pull snug.
See Fig. 15a.
Note that the lower strap‘s buckle
can be relocated to the higher hole on the main
frame if required. Use the 10mm wrench
included with the rack. Recheck all straps to
make sure they are snug.
h) Unlock the center hubs and rotate the
support arms so they are horizontal or pointing
slightly upwards, then lock hubs. See Fig.15b.
