Important Note: Wind noise
If you are experiencing any whistling or wind noise while driving, you can follow these steps to install the anti-whistle plates to the top crossbars of the headache rack, and the rear ladder rack.
Remove the end caps and insert 1x spring nut into the top slot of the crossbar extrusion (1x spring nut per anti-whistle plate, up to 4). Ensure the spring side is facing down.
Evenly space the anti-whistle plates (up to 4) on both the headache rack and ladder rack crossbar. If you have accessory mounts, you can space the anti-whistle plates accordingly.
Secure the anti-whistle plates to the spring nuts using the included 5/16″ short bolts and washers. Re-insert the caps to the end of the uprights.
T-Slot Rail Installation
Some trucks such as Toyota Tacoma and similar models have a t-slot accessory rail mounted underneath the bedrail from the front of the bed to the rear. This installation method shows you how to install the MULTY® Bike Rack system to the t-slot rail.
