The models listed above may come equipped with an adjustable roof luggage carrier
assembly. The crossrails of the luggage carrier assembly are set in a certain position
upon delivery to the dealership/customer.
The original delivered position of these crossrails may contribute to a windnoise
condition. Use the following information to properly position the crossrails in order
to avoid possible windnoise.
Luggage Rack Cross Rails (Recommended Position)
| • | (1) This is the as-delivered position of the forward crossrail. |
| • | The first arrow from left shows the recommended position of the forward
crossrail. |
| • | The second arrow shows the recommended position of the rear crossrail. |
Position the forward crossrail 245 mm (9.6 in) from the luggage
rack opening as shown above. The rear crossrail should be positioned farthest to the
rear of the rack. This should reduce the wind noise/rush that may be experienced by
the occupants.
If a customer does comment about a windnoise concern, or upon pre-delivery inspection,
inspect the position of the crossrails and adjust as necessary.
