3. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps for proper installation of your SNIXWOO roof racks. Ensure your vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off.

Important Considerations:

• Do not cut the bars or scrape the plastic headers. These crossbars are vehicle specific, and bar lengths vary by model.
• If one bar is longer than the other, the front of your vehicle is wider than the back. In this case, install the longer bar on the front and the shorter bar on the rear.
• If you cannot fit it, re-check the instructions as a point might have been missed.
• If you cut the bars or do not insert cross bars fully into the mount, the bars' carrying capacity will decrease.

Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Cross Bars:
   Identify the longer bar for the front and the shorter bar for the rear. The pointed end of each bar should face the rear of your vehicle, and the round end should face the front.
2. Attach End Supports:
   Screw the end supports to the crossbars. Do not fully tighten the screws at this stage to allow for adjustment.
3. Remove Lock Cover:
   Push to open the cap or use a tool to pry it open. Insert the key horizontally and turn 90 degrees anti-clockwise to unlock the base, then remove the outer cover.
4. Position on Vehicle:
   Carefully place the assembled cross bars onto your vehicle's factory side rails. For the front bar, ensure its position does not interfere with the sunroof's operation.
5. Adjust and Tighten:
   Loosen the screws on the clamps so that the lower clamp can move. Move the lower clamp into position under the side rail. Tighten the screws using the provided Allen key. Ensure both driver and passenger side screws are tightened simultaneously to ensure even pressure.
6. Secure Locks:
   Once satisfied with the position and tightness, put the lock mechanism back and lock it with the key. Replace the plastic lock cover.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your roof racks, regular maintenance is recommended:

• Periodically check all bolts and fasteners for tightness, especially after long trips or carrying heavy loads.
• Clean the cross bars with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
• Inspect the plastic components and rubber strips for any signs of wear or damage. Replace if necessary.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your SNIXWOO roof racks, consider the following:

• Whistling Noise: Some users report a whistling noise when driving. This can sometimes be mitigated by adjusting the position of the bars or adding a fairing (not included). Ensure all components are tightly secured.
• Difficulty with Installation: Double-check all steps in the installation guide. Ensure the correct bar (longer for front, shorter for rear) is used and that the clamps are properly aligned with the vehicle's side rails.
• Damaged Parts: If any parts are damaged during installation or use, please contact customer support for assistance.
