FITTING INSTRUCTIONS:
Introduction
This rear roof console is designed to fit the vehicle by utilising
five existing mounting points. Three mounting points are the
child restraint anchor bolt captive nuts. The other two are
the 8mm holes in the roof support channels that accept "Christmas
tree" catches for the trim panels fitted around the roof
windows (i.e. the alpine lights).
STEP 1: Remove the two trim panels fitted around the
roof windows.
STEP 2: If applicable, install
the wiring and antenna leads for radios or accessories fitted
to the console.
STEP 3: Removal of the trim
panels has revealed four plastic sleeves, each is fitted into
8mm diameter holes in the roof support channels. The sleeve
closest to the back of the vehicle should be removed on each
side.
STEP 4: Open the "console
fitting kit" and you will find two modified "hollow
wall anchors". These wall anchors have been designed
to fit into the 8mm holes to create two captive nuts. The
21mm threaded screw that is fitted to each wall anchor has
been supplied to attach the wall anchor to the vehicle. Fit
the wall anchors, then discard the two 21mm threaded screws.
WARNING.
The 35mm x 4mm threaded screws supplied with the "console
fitting kit" are used to replace the 21mm screws and
attach the console to the "hollow wall anchors"
Do not fit these 35mm screws until the trim panels have been
replaced and the console is in position. Due to its length
this 35mm screw will dent the turret if fitted directly to
the wall anchor.
STEP 5: Re-mount the two roof
window trim panels.
STEP 6: Drill a hole in each
of the roof window trim panels to line up with the "hollow
wall anchors".
STEP 7: Remove the three "Christmas
tree" catches that are fitted into the three child restraint
anchor bolt captive nuts.
STEP 8: There are three steel
mounting brackets supplied in the "console fitting kit".
These brackets are attached to the vehicle by utilising the
three child restraint captive nuts. Attach the largest of
the three brackets to the centre captive nut using one of
the 5/16" x 1 1/2" UNC set screws and washers supplied
in the "console fitting kit". The two smaller brackets
are identical. Attach these to the two remaining captive nuts.
Using the two remaining high tensile set screws and washers
supplied in the kit.
STEP 9: Remove the caps from
the snap-caps fitted to the five screws in the fitting kit.
STEP 10: There are three holes
in the frame at the back of the console that line up with
the three mounting fitted to the vehicle. Using a phillips
head screw driver or similar, puncture a hole in the trim
under these three holes.
STEP 11: Hold the console in
position ensuring that the external brackets line up with
the "hollow wall anchors". Attach the two 35mm x
4mm threaded screws to the "hollow wall anchors".
STEP 12: Drill an 11/64"
diameter hole into each of the three internal mounting brackets.
The three holes should be drilled in line with the three holes
in the frame of the roof console.
STEP 13: Attach the three self
tapping screws to the three mounting brackets.
STEP 14: Replace the five caps
back onto the snap-cap washers.
