Installation Instructions-Cont.
Step 5 Insert (1) 1/4-20 X 1 3/4" long carriage bolt from the parts bag through the long slot in each of the (2) mounting brackets. Position
the mounting brackets with the long slotted end towards the rear of the vehicle and with the stepped up area of the mounting bracket
towards the front of the vehicle (as shown in Figure 10). Push the carriage bolts through the holes that you drilled in the rear deck in Step 3
making sure the brackets are parallel to each other.
Step 6 From inside the trunk, slip a 1/4" fender washer, a 1/4" internal tooth lock washer, and thread a 1/4-20 hex nut from the parts bag
onto each of the 1/4-20 X 1 3/4" long carriage bolts. Thread the nut as far up onto the carriage bolt as you can by hand and tighten the nuts
as shown in Figure 11. Note: Make sure to tighten the bolts until the mounting brackets crush fairly deep into the rear deck fabric
and are tight. Also make sure the brackets stay parallel to each other as you tighten the nuts!
Step 7 Feed the WingMan™ Power Cable through the hole you drilled in Step 4 and into the trunk (see Figure 12).

Step 8 Install the WingMan by tipping the rear of the bar down as you locate it in place towards the back of the car and into position over
the mounting brackets. You will have to continue feeding the cable through the hole simultaneously while positioning the bar over the
mounting brackets.
Step 9 Line up the slots in the outer panel mounting plates with the threaded holes in the mounting brackets and in the WingMan and
thread the (4) supplied 1/4-20 x 1/2" bolts and internal tooth lock washers (see Figure 13). Tighten the 1/4-20 x 1/2" bolts with a phillips
screwdriver (see Figure 14). Note: You may have to rotate the two mounting brackets slightly to align them with the mounting
plates, the holes in the mounting brackets, and the mounting holes in the WingMan.
Step10 Center the WingMan in the rear deck area and push it firmly back against the rear window so that the gasket makes contact with
the glass. Note: You may have to slightly loosen the 1/4-20 hex mounting nuts in the trunk to allow the WingMan to move back
into position.
Note: If the Gasket has wavy areas where it contacts the rear window you can press down firmly all along the rear contour on top
of the WingMan as far back as you can reach to allow the gasket to pop back into shape.

The bracket fasteners shown in Figures 13 and 14 make excellent hard mounting points
for radar guns, video cameras, etc. Caution: Drilling into the housing of the light bar
could damage wiring or other internal components.
Wiring Instructions
It is advisable to leave an extra loop of cable when installing the light bar to allow for future changes or reinstallations.
Connect the black lead to a solid frame ground (earth), preferably the (-) or ground (earth) side of the battery, and the
power wire to the +12V terminal of the battery. Connect the remaining wires as shown on page 5.
