Looking for roof rack installation instructions clamp style
Does anyone have a pdf of the instructions for the clamp on roof rack base support system that fits the R56? Only thing I can find online is the pdf for the rack system where you don't have the factory rails installed. I had the instructions but my wife the magician made them disappear....
Sorry typo. F56 not R56.
Just have a couple of questions if someone has a copy.
1) what was the distance from the front edge of the roof rail to the crossbar and is measurement to the front of support or to middle? Also, was there a distance measurement from the back edge for the rear support?
2) is there a difference between front support and rear support? There are stickers under end caps that show which half of car the support goes on as well as which side. Like FL front left. But.....one of mine has a sticker on one side that say FL but the other side says RR. The other support seems correct FL and FR. I could just assume that the other support should have had RL instead of FL but I would like to know if there is a differnence. In appearance there doesn't seem to be.
3) same sticker under cap says "turn to click" what does that mean? I get that the **** has to be in a certain position for the cap to close but does the "click" reference suggest there is a point where tightening the **** results in a click like a torque wench? If not, what does guide say about clamp force?
None of this probably matters as it's not that complicated, but I'd like to know what they recommend.
Thanks for the reply! However, doing a quick pass through, thread doesn't really help for what I'm after. I have the rack as in your attached picture. What I'm after is a copy of the installation instructions you see in that picture. If anyone has a copy they could make a pdf of, or even take pictures of, I would appreciate it.
