Installing roof racks

You can purchase roof racks for your vehicle at Hamphi. com or from the Tesla store(https://shop.tesla.com/ or https://shop.tesla.cn/ for China) to carry items such as surfboards or kayaks on the roof of your vehicle. To install the roof rails:

  • Thoroughly clean the vehicle roof around the arrow locations on the glass and allow to dry.
  • Use the arrow icons on the top of the support guards to identify which corners of the vehicle to attach the guards and non-abrasive tape to.
  • Measure 310 mm from the upper front edge of the front left side glass. Align the arrow on the glass with the arrow on the non-abrasive tape. Then apply the non-abrasive tape by following the edge of the cover. Repeat this step on the right front side.
  • Measure 279 mm from the top rear edge of the rear left side glass. Align the arrow on the glass with the arrow on the non-abrasive tape. Then apply the non-abrasive tape by following the edge of the cover. Repeat this step on the right back.
  • Use a clamping tool to gently pull back the rubber seal at the arrow location.
  • Hold the clamping tool in place and insert a rail clamp at the arrow location.
  • Remove the clamping tool while checking that the clamp is secure in the metal holder under the glass. Pull up and wiggle to check that it is firmly in place. Check that the center of the hook is aligned with the arrow. Repeat this procedure on the remaining corners of the vehicle.
  • Do not place the front left side guard over the front clip on the driver's side. Use the icon to help you identify and install the correct guard in the correct location. Repeat this procedure when installing the vehicle's remaining guards.
  • To install the crossbars: ensure that all four hooks engage, are correctly aligned and in the upright position. Then carefully place the front and rear crossbars on top of the guards.

Note: The front crossbar is longer than the rear crossbar.

  • Install the wing nuts and hand tighten on each tower.
  • Tighten the wing nuts with the Allen key until the tower is firmly fixed to the vehicle. We recommend tightening to 2.5-3.5 Nm. To confirm that the tower is installed correctly, pull in all directions and check that there is no movement. To lock the system, the marking on the wing nut must be aligned with the marking on the tower.

Note: Tightening too tightly may cause vehicle damage.

  • Use the key to lock all towers.
  • Check that the front and rear crossbars are properly installed by pulling in all directions.
  • Install the covers. Start with the bottom edge and then push the top one into place.
