The first step is to mount the brackets that will secure the tent to the roof rack. This task takes two people; one person needs to crawl inside and hold the bolts in place while the bracket and nuts are secured on the other side.
The instructions say that if you want the tent to open to the side of the car, the brackets should be perpendicular to the hinge. This is true if your roof rack runs the length of the car. If you’re mounting the tent to crossbeams off the rack, like on the Subaru Outback, the brackets need to be parallel to the hinge.
