Risk of accident
Each time the basic carrier bars and/or
accessories are fitted to the roof, before each trip
and periodically during longer journeys, check all
the screws on the basic carrier bars to make sure
that they are secure, and retighten them if
necessary. Repeat these checks at regular
intervals depending on road surface conditions
and after every 1500 miles (2500 km) of
continuous use.
Do not use any lubricant on the screws of the
basic carrier bars. The screws could work loose,
causing the basic carrier bars and the load to
become detached from your vehicle and thus
injure you and others and/or cause damage to
property, including damage to your vehicle.
Removal
To remove the basic carrier bars, follow the
installation instructions in reverse order.

Fitting the cover strip
If no roof attachments are fitted, or roof attachments
which do not take up the entire width of the basic
carrier bars are fitted, the cover strips should be
fitted in order to minimise wind noise.
These installation instructions show a cover strip
being fitted to a basic carrier bar with a ski rack.
1. Place the cover strip (5) on the basic carrier
bar (1) between the ski rack (13) and locking
handle (8), mark the required length and cut the
cover strip, using a pair of scissors, for example.
2. Insert the cover strip (5) into the hollow space of
the basic carrier bar (1).
3. Follow the same procedure to attach the second
cover strip to the other basic carrier bar.
