Here are the steps I recommend after several installations:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-preparez-la-zone-de-travail\"><span><span><span>1. Prepare the work area<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span><span><span>Choose a flat, clear spot, ideally shaded. Lay a blanket on the roof to avoid scratching the bodywork during handling. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-fixez-les-rails-sous-la-tente\"><span><span><span>2. Attach the rails under the tent<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span><span><span>Turn the <\/span><\/span><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/z1MB\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span><u><span>MH500<\/span><\/u><\/span><\/a><span><span> upside down on the ground (gently, of course!) and attach the aluminum rails with the screws provided. These rails are used to secure the tent to the roof bars.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-positionnez-la-tente-sur-le-toit\"><span><span><span>3. Position the tent on the roof<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span><span><span>This is the step where it&#8217;s better to have two people. Lift the tent onto the crossbars and center it properly. Make sure the ladder will be oriented on the desired side (left or right).  <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-vissez-les-brides-de-fixation\"><span><span><span>4. Tighten the mounting clamps<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span><span><span>Use the U-clamps and nuts provided to securely attach the tent to the roof bars. Tighten gradually while checking that everything is properly aligned. Don&#8217;t hesitate to do another check at the end.  <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-testez-l-ouverture\"><span><span><span>5. Test the opening<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span><span><span>Before hitting the road, open the tent fully for the first time to check that the ladder is properly adjusted, nothing is sticking, and everything is stable.
