Installation Guide
1-Place the Sport Car Top Carrier on the top of your ve-
hicle with its closed end facing forward.
2-Load your gear inside the carrier, following its aerody-
namic shape. Place items with sharp or pointed edges in
the middle and pack softer items around them (Fig 1).
WARNING: DAMAGE MAY OCCUR TO THE CARRIER
IF EXCESS MATERIAL FLAPS IN THE WIND.
TO ELIMINATE EXCESS MATERIAL, PACK THE
CARRIER FULL. IF UNABLE TO PACK FULL, FILL THE
FRONT CORNERS OF THE CARRIER, SMOOTH THE
TOP, AND PULL THE EXCESS MATERIAL DOWN OVER
THE SIDES. HOLD THE EXCESS MATERIAL SECURELY
IN PLACE WITH THE CARRIER’S STRAPS.
3-Close the ZipRight zipper system (Fig 2), fold the protec-
tive ap down, and secure the Velcro closures.
The Sport 1, Sport 2, and Sport 3 Carriers come with (4)
straps. Attaching (2) straps front to back between the
cross bars or (2) straps side to side between the side rails
will sufciently secure the carrier. Using all (4) straps pro-
vides the most secure method of attachment. The Sport Jr
comes with (2) straps that attach between the cross bars
or the side rails (after you remove the Car Clips). Make
sure your roof rack is anchored to your vehicle and don’t
exceed its weight limit.
1-Unthread the short strap piece from the center buckle on
the rst strap (Fig 3).
3-Run both strap pieces through the d-rings and over the
top of the carrier (Fig 5). Make sure the center buckle is
facing up and the strap pieces are not twisted.
4-Thread the short strap piece back through the center
buckle and tighten (Fig 6).
