1-Place the Edge Car Top Carrier on the top of your ve-
hicle with its closed end facing forward.
2-Load your gear inside the carrier. Place items with
sharp or pointed edges in the middle and pack softer
items around them (Fig 1).
3-Close the zipper (Fig 2), fold the protective flap down,
and secure the Velcro closures.
The Edge Carrier comes with (4) straps. Attaching (2)
straps front to back between the cross bars or (2) straps
side to side between the side rails will sufficiently secure
the carrier. Using all (4) straps provides the most secure
method of attachment. Make sure your roof rack is an-
chored to your vehicle and don’t exceed its weight limit.
