Step 19 Attach the Wedge Shaped Rubber Mounting Foot Pad by pushing the christmas tree shaped rib feature into the space between the
two center ribs on the Mounting Feet as shown in Figure 35. Make sure the thickest side of the pad is toward the outside also as shown in
Figure 35. The pads when installed to the Mounting feet properly will look as shown in Figure 36. If installed in the reversed position, the
pads may easily fall out if jostled. Note: The Permanent mount version of the Rubber Mounting Foot Pad has a differant shape to
work on flat surfaces (see Figure 37).
Note: There are (4) Mounting Foot Pad Spacers included in the hardware package for additional padding or adjustment of the
Mounting Kit to improve the fit to the vehicle's roof contour. The Mounting Foot Pad Spacers have adhesive to allow them to
be attached to the Mounting Foot Pads. If adjustment is required peel away the protective paper to expose the adhesive and
attach it to the flat side of the Rubber Mounting Foot Pad Wedges. It is best to place the Lightbar in position on the vehicle
to determine if Mounting Foot Pad Spacers are required to obtain a level fit or to prevent the bar from touching the roof at the
center.

Step 18 To position the mounting feet on the Light bar Frame, measure the distance specified below from the outer edge of the Light bar Lens to the
face of the Mounting Foot and tighten the 5/16"-18 Hex Nut with a 1/2" socket wrench making sure the legs of the Mounting Feet are parallel to the
Lightbar Frame.
For the Ford Crown Victoria-Measure 1" from the outer edge of the Lightbar Lens to the outer Mounting Foot Face (see Figure 33)
For the 2005 Chevy Impala-Make the the outer edge of the Lightbar Lens flush to the outer face of the Mounting Foot (see Figure 34)
Note: The above measurements were based on a 47 inch Lightbar and 2005/2006 model year vehicles, for future or other vehicle models
or Customer personal preferance, the measurements may need to be adjusted as needed.

Step 20 Standard Mount Position one of the Gutter Hooks on the vehicle with the large mounting hole centered in the gap between the front and rear
doors of the vehicle and use it as a template to mark the mounting holes for drilling. If necessary, pull the vehicle's weatherstripping out of the way or in
some cases it may require trimming the weatherstripping.
Step 21 Drill the Mounting holes with a 3/32" drill. Note: Make sure the holes are drilled deep enough for the screws as on some vehicles there
are two layers of sheet metal to drill through in the gutter area!
Step 22 Apply soft pads between the Gutter Hook and the vehicle's roof if needed to protect the Vehicle's finish. Apply user supplied RTV Sealant to
each of the holes and to the heads of the sheet metal screws to prevent rust and seal against leaks. Install the sheet metal screws through the holes in
the gutter hook and into the holes drilled in step 9 with a 1/4" hex driver or socket. Make sure all screws are bottomed out and tight against the gutter
hook and the sheet metal of the vehicle.
Step 23 Re-attach the vehicle's weatherstripping if applicable.
