There are 6 mounting points for this unit, it has

  • The first thing when fitting the unit is to open the boot and fit the top mounts they simply slide through on the outer side of the hinges. Photos below;

Once fitted you will close the boot, NOTE: you can not open the boot from this point on!

  • with the boot lid close insert the side clips, this simply clips around the boot lid, it is coated so no damage will be done.

  • fit the lower mounts, this is where it looks like this was designed for the car, you will notice under the car there is a hole just where you need it to be. The metal loops on the nylon strap fit in here and are very secure! do this on both sides.
