If you have built the rack on a workbench, position it on top of the van now. Make
certain that each Gutter Mount Foot Item-041 is sitting down firmly on the metal
rain gutter. Chevy vans have a bead of mastic on the outboard side of the rain
gutter. The Foot should be positioned inboard of the mastic. Your rack includes
4 x Chevy Gutter Clamps Item -044 and 4 x Ford Gutter Clamps Item -045. See
diagram below. Select the appropriate Clamps for your vehicle.
Insert a Gutter Clamp through each Foot as shown below. Attach a Clamp to
each Foot using 5/16" x 1 1/4" carriage bolt, flat washer, and lock nut. Before
tightening fully, make certain that the Clamp has good purchase on the bottom of
the rain gutter. Tighten the nut to a torque rating of about 150 inch pounds, or until
the rain gutter of the clamp or the tongue of the Foot begin to deform. Do not
overtighten.
