Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the SURT-017 is straightforward thanks to the pre-assembled nature of the bars. Begin by verifying the mounting points on your vehicle's roof rails. Slide the bars into position and secure the fasteners according to the provided hardware instructions. Always use a torque wrench if possible to ensure fasteners are tightened to the manufacturer's recommended specifications.
For ongoing care, inspect the mounting hardware after the first 50 miles of travel with a tent attached to ensure no settling has occurred. Clean the bars with mild soap and water, and avoid using harsh chemical solvents that might degrade the finish. Always store in a dry, covered area if removed from the vehicle during off-season months.
