Thanks for any help.

Not sure if your thule roofrack is the same as the one I'm thinking of...if so, you lift the cover from the side of the legs, slide the top bar out and undo the bolt.

Thanks for your help, I apreitiate it. It sounds right. I'm sure it's easy but I've never used them before and I think mine are a bit old and bent.

They're the puppies. Istructions look a bit cryptic but I'm sure it will be clear when i do it.

Cheers,

Best way to earth an alarm is to fit a ring connector to the wire(s) and bolt it to the body of the vehicle. Clean any paint away first so you get a good connection. Avoid using self tappers as they have a tendency to work loose. I usually look for an existing hole and use a nut and bolt with a shake proof washer
