Using these instructions, you can be sure your Rightline Gear cargo carrier will be secured to your car, WITHOUT the need for a roof rack!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First, you will need to secure the car clips to your straps (if they are not there already.) You can do this by feeding the looped end of the strap through the back side of the clip. Then, take the other end of the strap and run it through the loop. Pull the strap tight, until it creates a flat knot around the end of the clip.
make sure that the non-zippered side is facing forward. Next, you will want to arrange your four (4) attachment straps based on the orientation of your luggage rack. For side rails, you'll attach a strap to each of the side buckles. For cross bars, you'll attach two (2) straps to the front buckles, and the other two (2) to the rear buckles.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next, make sure that the non-zippered side is facing forward and line up the side buckles to the door frame of the vehicle. For four (4) door vehicles, a single strap will go around each of the door's interior weather molding. For two (2) door vehicles, the two (2) straps on each side of the carrier will clip to the same door frame.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To attach the straps to your car, start with the clips positioned inward, towards the carrier. Take the strap and feed it under and through the middle slot of the buckle, then over and down the front slot of the buckle. If done correctly, the strap will not loosen once it is looped through the buckle. If the strap was attached incorrectly, you will notice a lack of tension which means you need to detach it and repeat these instructions.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next, you'll want to open the vehicle's doors and locate the interior weather molding. Hook the car clip underneath it, as shown. Do not attempt to hook the car clips into the metal lip of the door or on the front of the door frame; the clips are designed to work perfectly when secured to the weather molding and will not function properly if used incorrectly. Repeat this step with the remaining straps, then tighten them and close the doors over the attachment straps.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, tie the excess material of the strap down so that it does not flap around while the car is in motion. If you notice flapping or noise, loosen your straps, reposition them slightly, and proceed to tighten them and tie down the loose material as directed.
