4. Installation Guide
The Green Valley Easy One EVO 03 roof bars come with pre-assembled feet for simplified installation. Follow these steps carefully.
- Prepare Your Vehicle: Ensure your vehicle's roof is clean and free of debris where the roof bars will be mounted. Identify the designated mounting points on your vehicle's roof (refer to your vehicle's owner's manual if unsure).
- Position the Feet: Place the pre-assembled feet onto the designated mounting points on your vehicle's roof. Ensure they are correctly oriented and aligned.
- Attach Roof Bars: Carefully place the steel roof bars onto the feet. The bars should slot securely into the designated channels or mounts on the feet.
