bottom edge of the trunk or hatch.
• Use area with the greatest support.

section of the seam and then slide them into
their recommended place on the vehicle.
• Straps should be parallel, and no wider than
the body of the HalfBack. Route the straps
over the HalfBack frame.

• DO NOT ATTACH THE TOP HOOKS TO
PLASTIC OR TO A SPOILER. Use the Anchor
