ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Rev. 6/05 Part No. 24-0224
TOOLS REQUIRED
• 7/16" Open or Box End Wrench

NOTE: We have found varying
tolerances between the top of
the doors and the rain gutters
on the 1992 to present full-size
vans. Before placing van rack on
vehicle, check the door clear-
ance with the bottom clamp, by
holding it to the underside of the
rain gutter and slowly opening
the door. If the door hits, you
will have to move the clamp to
where more clearance is avail-
able. Some cases may require
moving the clamps rearward of
the driver and passenger side
doors.
