Installation Steps

Step 1: Remove OEM Roof Rails

  1. If your Bronco has OEM roof rails:

    • Use the special tool located in your glove box to remove the rear feet.
    • Remove the remaining bolts with a 10mm socket.

  2. If your Bronco lacks OEM rails:

    • Remove the two caps at the top of the windshield using a flathead screwdriver.
    • Beneath the caps, unscrew the black plastic pieces with a 10mm socket.

Step 2: Modify the Windshield Caps

  1. Drill a 3/16” hole in each cap at the designated location (refer to the provided diagram for accuracy).
  2. Trim the top 7/8” of the cap with a saw or cutoff wheel for proper fitment.
  3. Attach the cap mounting brackets to the caps using a 3/8” wrench. Ensure they are oriented correctly.

Step 3: Assemble the Front Section of the Rack

  1. Install the front mounting feet onto the studs exposed in the previous step.
    • Use the OEM black flange nuts (10mm) with a dab of threadlocker for security.
  2. Attach two crossbars to the front section of the rack using screws and washers.

Step 4: Apply Rubber Pads

  1. Clean the marked locations on the rack using isopropyl alcohol to ensure proper adhesion.
  2. Apply the rubber pads to the indicated areas on both the front ("F") and rear ("R") mounting brackets.

Step 5: Install the Rear Mounting Feet

  1. Attach the four short mounting feet to the partially assembled rack.
    • Ensure they are positioned as high up in the slot as possible to maximize contact with the roof.

Step 6: Place the Rack on the Vehicle

  1. Lift the partially assembled rack and carefully set it onto the roof.
  2. Secure the front and rear side rail halves to the mounting feet using screws and washers.
    • Tighten loosely at this stage to allow for adjustments.

Step 7: Connect the Side Rails

  1. Use the connector brackets to join the front and rear halves of the side rails.
  2. Install screws and washers, leaving them hand-tight until alignment is complete.

Step 8: Install the Wind Deflector

  1. Assemble the wind deflector by attaching the T-nuts and screws.
    • Use threadlocker on the bolts for added security.
  2. Attach the noise-reducing edge trim to the deflector and trim any excess material.
  3. Mount the wind deflector to the crossbar. For optimal fit, use the middle slot on the deflector’s mounting brackets.

Step 9: Adjust and Tighten

  1. Adjust the side rails and mounting feet to align the rack evenly with the roof.
  2. Tighten all bolts, starting with the mounting feet and progressing to the side rail connector brackets.

Pro Tip: While tightening the short mounting feet, use a pry bar or screwdriver to apply upward pressure on the side rails. This ensures the feet are making firm contact with the roof for maximum stability.

Final Touches

  • Recheck all bolts and connections for tightness.
  • Ensure the wind deflector is flush with the front of the rack.
  • Test the rack's stability by gently pushing on it—there should be no movement.
