UPGRADE BAR SYSTEM
To Be Used With OE Flush-Mounted OE "Slotted" Track-Style Roof Racks
WARNING: External roof racks do not increase the GVWR of the vehicle. Maximum load for this bar system is
180 lbs. evenly distributed on crossbar assemblies. Keep in mind that torque applied to any straps, cords, etc.
between the load and the vehicle body effectively add "load weight" to crossbars and the roof. Large or flat items
such as plywood or watercraft can trap air and create wind lift. Secure the ends of such objects directly to the vehicle
bumpers or tie downs. Bulky or tall loads can create tremendous horizontal wind resistance from headwinds and
crosswinds. Extreme caution should be used when transporting such loads, taking into consideration road conditions,
vehicle speed, crosswinds, load securing methods, etc. Large, bulky, tall or flat objects should be properly secured
to both crossbars and other attachment points on the vehicle body. Check bar adjustment points and load securement
frequently. PERRYCRAFT, Inc. does not assume responsibility for improper installation, exceeding load limit, load
securement methods, vehicle roof strength, wind lift or any other factors beyond its control. All fasteners, knobs,
and load securements should be checked frequently and tightened as necessary.

This "Pass-Thru/Stanchion-Fit" upgrade kit provides the choice of two configurations of the stanchions and crossbars
at the time of installation:
OPTION 1: Pass-Thru Crossbars: Extend the crossbars through the stanchions:
OPTION 2: Stanchion-Fit Crossbars: Cut the crossbars to the appropriate
length to provide exact fit between the stanchions
IMPORTANT: Completely review the instructions for chosen option before proceeding with installation!!!
OPTION 1 - Pass-Thru Crossbars:
1. Install stanchion plugs into two stanchions using 1/4"-20 x 7/8" cap
screws, 1/4" flat washers and nylock nuts as shown in Fig. 1.
2. Slide one "plugged' stanchion on to one end of each crossbar, butting
end of bars firmly against stanchion plugs. Slide remaining two "open"
stanchions on to opposite ends of bars positioning both stanchions
relative to width of existing tracks.
3. Insert 4 diamond-shaped tap plates into each track by tilting plates at
an angle and dropping into open slot in track (See Fig. 2). Note: If the
slots in the tracks are deeper than 3/8" the self-adhesive foam
spacers should be attached to the bottom of each tap plate. If slot
in track is too narrow or shallow to accept plates in this manner, it
will be necessary to remove the molded end cap at one end of each
track and slide the tap plates into the tracks. If this procedure is used,
it may be necessary to re-seal around screw in end cap when
reinstalling.
