14.09.2008: The kit |
The kit comes with mounting hardware to install it on all supported car
trims and includes assorted screws, nuts, washers and plastic screw caps.
|
|
14.09.2008: Inside the trunk |
Open the trunk, and optionally lower the rear seat. Find a suitable install
location close to the outer edge of the trunk.
|
|
14.09.2008: Test fitting |
The Saab manual suggests using only two screws on the 9-5, but they supply
three, and it should really hold better if you add a third one in the
center.
|
|
14.09.2008: Centre punch |
Make sure the holes you marked are well away from the spot welds.
Use a centre punch on the middle hole. Watch your fingers!
|
|
14.09.2008: Drilling |
Drill the middle hole using a 1/8" bit. Use a drill stop so it doesn't go
through the parcel shelf and into the glass.
|
|
14.09.2008: Outer holes |
Fit the middle screw and make sure you marked the outer holes correctly.
Undo the screw and remove the holder.
|
|
14.09.2008: More drilling |
Punch and drill the outer holes. Again, take extra care as the metal you're
drilling is quite thin.
|
|
14.09.2008: Installed |
Install the holder and tighten all three screws with star washers. The
hooks should be aimed towards the opening of the trunk.
|
|
14.09.2008: Empty |
The hooks can slide left and right along the rail, and you can also
fold them to about 45° when they are not used.
|
|
14.09.2008: Bag |
While the rail is metal, the hooks itself are made of plastic, so they aren't
strong enough to hold a heavy load. However, if the bags can stand the floor,
they will be held in place just fine!
