Setup and Installation

Installation of the Mazda Roof Rails DGH9-V3-830 typically involves mounting the rails to existing attachment points on your vehicle's roof. It is recommended to have two people for installation to prevent scratching the vehicle's paint or damaging components.

1. Prepare the Vehicle: Ensure the vehicle's roof is clean and dry. Locate the designated mounting points on the roof, usually covered by plastic caps or trim pieces.
2. Remove Covers: Carefully remove any existing covers or trim pieces that conceal the mounting points. Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for specific instructions on removing these covers.
3. Position the Rails: Place the roof rails onto the vehicle's roof, aligning them with the exposed mounting points. Ensure the front and rear rails are correctly oriented according to the design.
4. Secure the Rails: Using the provided hardware, attach the roof rails to the mounting points. Start by hand-tightening all bolts to ensure proper alignment.
