APPLICABILITY: 1996 MY LEGACY OUTBACK WAGON
SUBJECT:
CROSSBAR KIT P # E3650AS700 INSTALLATION
All 1996 model year Legacy "Outback" Sport Utility Wagons are equipped with factory installed roof mounted side rails (left and right) and three roof cargo slats mounted on the center of the roof panel. To complete the "Roof Rack" assembly the Cross Bars must be installed by the dealer prior to the customer receipt of the vehicle. Use the instructions found in the genuine Subaru accessory Cross Bar kit along with the information below:
^ Mount the Cross Bars 5 inches from the assembly joint of the side rail and end support as indicated in the installation instructions. Figure A.
NOTE:
Locating the crossbars on the roof side rails 5" from the assembly joint will provide the approximate mounting locations the Subaru approved accessory ski and bike attachments.
^ Place the "Torx" tool and the customer information sheet in the glove box.
^ To aid installation only loosen the T-30 torx head screw on the top of each crossbar end support, do not remove the screws. This will prevent the possibility of cross threading the T-30 torx head screw.
CAUTION:
For cargo carrying purposes, the Roof Rails must be used together with the Roof Cross Bar Kit. The Roof Rail must never be used alone to carry cargo. Otherwise, damage to the roof or paint or a dangerous road hazard due to loss of cargo could result.
An additional time of 0.2 hours has been added to the current Legacy PDI time of 1.3 hours for the 1996 "Outback" models.
