Step 1:
Assemble hinge mounts and “L” brackets (see diagram #1)
Step 2:
Place Defender Rack on roof. Attach mounting brackets to rack with 5/16” hardware
and tighten snug, but not completely. Note that the base of the hinge brackets can be
mounted in 2 different positions for clearance (see diagrams #2 &3). Position rack
and mark 4 outside corner mounting holes. Remove rack. Using a sheet metal bit, drill
½” mounting holes and install ¼” well nuts. !!!! Use caution when drilling
through roof. Check all clearances and /or obstructions prior to drilling!!!!
Step 3:
Place rack on roof and secure with (4) ¼” bolts. Do not tighten fully at this time.
Step 4:
Mark the remaining mounting holes. Remove the rack assembly and drill the
remaining ½” holes. Install ¼” well nuts in the holes and re-install the rack assembly.
Tighten ¼” bolts first, then the rest of the hardware.
