Roof Railing, Removing And Installing: Installing

Install in the reverse order of removal while noting the following:

-- Clean the threaded pin threads on the roof railing with a wire brush.

-- Check the seal for damage and replace if necessary.

-- Carefully remove any remaining locking fluid from the nut threads that are installed with locking fluid using a thread tap.

TIP:

There is no cleaning procedure, since there is a risk of the threaded pins shearing off when disassembling again.

-- Insert the roof railing with the alignment pin into the mount on the vehicle roof.

-- Install the nuts with locking fluid and tighten.
