Close the sun roof or moon roof if applicable. Step 2 Adjust the rail clamps to the approximate width of the vehicle side rails (dimension y). Place the cross bars onto the vehicle side rails. Ensure there is an equal overhang (dimension x) on both sides of each cross bar. Adjust to the desired distance between the cross bars, maintaining a minimum of 20" (50 cm). Firmly tighten the rail clamp knobs to secure the cross bars to the vehicle roof side-rails. Note: One knob on each cross bar locks. Turning the key one half turn clockwise disengages the knob so that it moves freely and no adjustment can be made. Confirm the cross bars are secure by giving each cross bar a push / pull.
