Instructions in LAYMAN'S TERMS - Photos
As others have stated, instructions included are useless. Discovered all my wind noise was from improper installation. Just had my 2014 JGC up to 60mph with zero wind noise. Never done a review with photos.. not sure where they will show up. Hope it helps the visual learners. If looking at pics, keep in mind I already had the bars on the roof, you will want to start on the ground. If the bars are not labeled "front" "back" like mine - Front bar 46 1/2" long, Back bar 46" long 1. Starting on the ground - peel the long rubber strip all the way off. This exposes the screws. 2. On one end unlock the locking mechanism then take a small screwdriver and pry off the end cap. This only needs to be done on one end. It allows you to slide the rubber strip back on later. 3. Still on the same end and using the allen wrench provided loosen the screw closest to you being careful not to go as far as to make it so loose it comes out. If your not sure it's best to air on the side of caution at this point, you can correct later. Now loosen the second screw a few turns. 4. On the opposite end all you need to do is loosen both screws the same way as described in 3. 5. Place bars on rails... here is where I made the mistake. The more blunt side faces forward, tapered side faces back. (in the picture of side view... Right side of pic is facing forward, Left side is facing back) I also added a pics how the bars sit on rails. This is where you may have to loosen that screw closest to you a bit more. 6. Measure. In the end I placed mine about 2" from front and 2 1/2" from back. 7. Tighten both screws on both ends. 8. Slide the rubber strip back on followed by the end piece w/ lock. 9. Now repeat. Overall satisfied with the product and saving a bundle over Mopar. Not to mention installing myself. Haven't carried anything yet, so can't speak to that. The aggressive look it adds is a bonus. Sometimes a girl has to get her hands dirty. I GOT THIS.
