Owners manual

Each strap has 3 sections: Top
Strap, Hook Short Strap, Hook
Long Strap.
1. Slide a Top Strap under 2
strap guides, left-to-right.
2. Open the car’s doors and at-
tach one of the hooks onto a
hard ridge or lip about ½” wide
by ½” high, that should stick
down from the top of the door
frame inside the car. This ridge
may be covered with a plastic
molding or rubber seal. If ridge
is not there, or if it is too wide
or shallow, you can’t use hook
straps.
TEST: The hook should stay
firmly in place when pulling
the strap upward.
3. Close door over the strap.
Connect the buckles to the Top
Strap.
TEST: The strap should exit be-
tween the door and the frame,
and the hook should not be
visible from the outside.
4. Tighten the straps by pulling
from the free ends.
Check that the carrier is firmly held by the straps, that the straps are taut and that the
Hooks are tightly seated over the ridge and they stay in place even with the doors open.
NOTE: If your car does not have the required ½” ridge, or if the installation does not feel
tight and stable, use instead the Pass-Through Straps that come with the carrier.
