This video shows the K739 flush rail fitting kit and Yakima/ Whispbar Through bars fitted to a Vauxhall Insignia Sports Tourer but all Yakima/ Whispbar flush rail kits are similar.

Place the bars on a flat surface, unlock the locking cover and remove from the foot.

Using both thumbs, push the clamping block out of the foot then remove both dowel pins using either your thumb/ fingernail, or the tool provided. Keeping the foot on a flat surface will make removing these very easy.

Lift the bar up and remove the foot plate.

Your new foot pack should include 4x feet ( which may vary in shape for different models of vehicle), 1x allen key, 8x screws and a set of instructions.

2 feet are for the left hand side and 2 are for the right. The easiest way to find out which foot is which is to match the top of the clamp with the underside of the bar. Then make a note of the code and the side.

To access the fixing screw you need to reposition the fitting plate on the underside of the clamp. To do this, Use the allen key provided
to loosen the front bolt as far as it will go, making sure the plate is straight.

Looking into the foot you should now be able to see a groove in the plastic and the silver fixing screw.

Take one of the feet and match to the underside of the bar, then push up into the foot.

Turn the bar over and using the allen key provided, locate the silver fixing screw and tighten hand tight.

Attach 2 self-tapping screws to secure the foot to the bar,
Using the tool provided with the bars, loosen the adjustment 3-4 turns and set both feet to the width of your roof rails.

When fitting to your vehicle, remember that the rounder, wider end of the Whispbar is the front side.

Locate the fixing holes on the inside of your vehicles flush rails.
Place the bar onto the rails and line up the fixing hole’s, making sure that the feet sit flush against the rail on both sides.

Tighten the front bolt gradually and keep a check on the alignment. The foot clamp has a tendency to draw in on one side whilst tightening, but once located into the rail, the other side fits in place easily.

Once secure, tighten the adjustment screw with the tool provided with the bars, fit the locking cover and lock in place.
Then repeat for the other foot and other bar.
