The installation of the cross bars on a 2010 Lexus GX requires careful attention to detail to ensure a quality installation. The manual explains the process in five steps, including applying the limit and load capacity labels, installing the front and rear cross bars, positioning and securing the cross bars, and finishing the installation.
Pre-Installation Checklist
Before beginning the installation, the manual advises checking for any conflicts with vehicles without OE side rails, and ensuring all necessary tools and equipment are available.
Step 1: Apply Limit and Load Capacity Labels
The manual instructs the user to apply the labels to the side rail bracket, ensuring the triangle on the label is pointing in the correct direction and the line on the label is at the specified measurement.
Step 2: Install Front Cross Bar
The user must load the front cross bar near the front of the side rail, ensuring the arrows on the cross bar end supports are pointing towards the front of the vehicle.
Step 3: Install Rear Cross Bar
The user must load the rear cross bar near the center rail cap, ensuring the arrows on the cross bar end supports are pointing towards the front of the vehicle.
Step 4: Position and Secure Cross Bars
The user must position the front and rear cross bars parallel to each other and secure them to the side rails using the torque tool.
Step 5: Finish Installation
The final step is to place the cross bar user manual and torque tool in the vehicle’s glove box and inspect the installation to ensure all necessary checks have been completed.
