Installation Steps
Step 1: Attaching Kit Components to Vehicle
This initial phase involves securing the specific parts of Kit 1 to the vehicle's flush railing.
-
Position the primary components (e.g., parts 045, 047, 132, 54201, 020) onto the vehicle's flush railing at the designated locations. The diagrams illustrate how these parts interface with the railing.
Visual representation: Diagrams show the precise placement of various brackets and clips onto the roof railing of the Honda CR-V. Screws (part 50435, x8) are used to fasten these components.
-
Attach the final securing bracket (part 52376, x1) to fully secure the installed kit components to the vehicle's railing.
Visual representation: A diagram shows the final bracket being attached, likely locking the previously placed components into position.
Torque specifications: Certain connections require precise torque values for optimal security and to prevent damage.
Visual representation: Diagrams show the use of a torque wrench, indicating specific torque values, such as 6 Nm, for tightening fasteners.
Step 2: Attaching Foot Pack and Roof Bars
This section details the assembly of the Foot Pack (2) and its subsequent attachment to the vehicle, along with the roof bars (Evo/Edge).
-
Assemble the Foot Pack components, typically labeled A and B, as depicted in the diagrams. This process forms the base structure of the roof rack system.
Visual representation: Diagrams show two main parts of the foot pack (labeled A and B) being fitted together. Part A is shown attaching to the roof bar, and Part B is shown fitting into Part A.
-
Position the assembled Foot Pack onto the vehicle's flush railing. The diagrams illustrate the clamping mechanism used to secure the Foot Pack to the railing.
Visual representation: Diagrams show the Foot Pack being placed over the vehicle's railing and then secured. An arrow indicates the direction of attachment.
-
Secure the Foot Pack using the provided fasteners. An audible "Click" indicates proper engagement, and a torque of 4 Nm is specified for tightening.
Visual representation: Close-up diagrams illustrate the mechanism for tightening the Foot Pack. A hand is shown turning a knob or bolt, with "Click" indicators and a "4 Nm" torque value displayed.
The instruction "≈ x2" suggests repeating this process for all required mounting points, typically two per side or front/rear.
Visual representation: The diagram indicates that the shown process is to be repeated, likely for the front and rear positions, or for both sides of the vehicle.
Important Information and Warnings (Icon ℹ️)
The information section, marked with an 'i' icon, provides crucial guidance and warnings to ensure correct and safe installation.
- Ensure the roof rack system is precisely positioned and aligned on the vehicle's flush railing.
- Verify that all locking mechanisms are fully engaged, often indicated by an audible "Click".
- Strictly adhere to the specified torque values (e.g., 4 Nm, 6 Nm) to prevent damage and ensure proper installation.
- The diagrams in this section visually demonstrate the correct methods for attaching the roof rack components, highlighting potential pitfalls and correct procedures.
Visual representation: Diagrams illustrate the correct and incorrect ways to attach the roof rack components to the vehicle's flush railing, emphasizing proper fit and securement. Warning symbols (⚠️) are used to draw attention to critical points requiring special care.
