LET’S GET STARTED!
1. SLIDE HALF OF THE RAIL NUTS INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE FACTORY ROOF
RAIL, AND HALF OF THEM INTO THE DRIVER SIDE RAIL.
NOTE- IF YOU’RE INSTALLING A SIDE LADDER, GRAB THE TWO RAIL
NUTS FROM YOUR LADDER HARDWARE PACK, AND PUT THOSE TWO
IN ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THESE CAN BE ADDED LATER, IT JUST
SAVES TIME TO DO IT NOW.
2. NEXT, BEGIN ASSEMBLING YOUR SIDE RAILS. GRAB YOUR 8 SIDE RAIL
WELDMENTS, 10 BAYONETS, AND 10 RAIL MOUNTS. BEGIN ASSEMBLING THEM
AS SHOWN IN FIGURE 1. WE FIND THAT A GOOD SIZED TABLE OR
WORKBENCH MAKES THIS A BIT EASIER. TO ASSIST ALIGNMENT, IT’S
SUGGESTED TO USE SOME QUICK CLAMPS AS SHOWN IN DETAIL D (SEE
NEXT PAGE FOR DETAIL). TIGHTEN THE SIDE RAIL WELDMENTS AND
BAYONETS, BUT LEAVE THE RAIL MOUNTS SLIGHTLY LOOSE TO ALLOW
ADJUSTMENT.
NOTE- THE CARRIAGE BOLTS THAT ATTACH THE RAIL MOUNTS CAN
BE MOUNTED FACING UPWARD OR DOWNWARD FOR A CLEAN LOOK.

3. AT THIS POINT, YOU SHOULD HAVE 2 COMPLETE SIDE RAIL ASSEMBLIES AS
SHOWN BELOW IN FIGURE 2. WITH THE HELP OF A SECOND PERSON, TAKE
THE SIDE RAIL ASSEMBLIES UP TO THE TOP OF THE VAN. LINE UP THE FRONT
RAIL MOUNT WITH THE VERY FRONT OF YOUR ROOF RAIL.
NOTE- LAY A BLANKET OR CARDBOARD DOWN ON THE ROOF OF
THE VAN BEFORE BRINGING THE SIDE RAILS UP IF YOU ARE
WORRIED ABOUT SCRATCHING THE PAINT.
4. NOW LEAN THE RAIL ASSEMBLY UP AND ONTO THE ROOF RAIL AND THREAD
IN THE BOLTS TO THE RAIL NUTS. LEAVE THESE BOLTS LOOSE; WE’LL COME
BACK AND TIGHTEN THEM AT A LATER STEP. FIGURE 2

5. WE RECOMMEND HAVING A SECOND SET OF HANDS TO HELP WITH THIS STEP
AS WELL. START WITH THE REAR BASKET (LONGER, DOES NOT HAVE FVC
BADGE ON SIDE) AND SLIDE IT ONTO THE EXPOSED BAYONETS ON THE REAR
OF THE RACK. ATTACH USING THE SAME HARDWARE USED TO ASSEMBLE THE
SIDE RAILS, AND USE THE SAME CLAMPING METHOD AS BEFORE TO ENSURE
GOOD ALIGNMENT. REPEAT THE SAME STEPS FOR THE FRONT BASKET.
NOTE- REMEMBER TO LEAVE THE RAIL MOUNT FEET LOOSENED.
WE’LL TIGHTEN THOSE DOWN IN A LATER STEP.

6. ONCE YOU’VE GOT BOTH ENDS TIGHTENED; IT’S TIME TO START LAYING
DOWN YOUR CROSSBARS. WE’VE PROVIDED DIMENSIONS BELOW IN
FIGURE 4 TO MAKE IT EASY. MAKE SURE YOU VERIFY THE DIMENSION ON
BOTH ENDS OF THE CROSSBAR RELATIVE TO THE REFERENCE POINT TO
ENSURE THEY ARE SQUARE. THIS WILL MAKE IT MUCH EASIER WHEN
MOUNTING YOUR DECKING PANELS LATER. THE DIMENSIONS ARE PULLED
FROM THE FLANGE ON THE TRAY OF THE REAR BASKET TO THE FRONT FACE
OF THE CROSSBAR (FURTHEST SIDE) WAIT TO TIGHTEN THE CROSSBARS
UNTIL YOU HAVE PUT ALL OF THEM IN.
NOTE- REMEMBER TO LEAVE THE RAIL MOUNT FEET LOOSENED.
WE’LL TIGHTEN THOSE DOWN IN A LATER STEP.
