This document provides installation and safety instructions for the Leitner Ineos Grenadier Load Bar Kit (Part numbers 00-GLB2X-1753 and 00-GLB1X-1752). The installation requires approximately 1 hour and basic hand tools. Always adhere to the vehicle manufacturer's maximum roof load limits, which take precedence over the rack's capacity.
Tools required
- Torque wrench
- T30 Torx bit socket
- 13mm wrench
- 3mm Allen wrench
Installation steps
- Remove existing hardware: Use a T30 wrench to remove all factory hand rail brackets (12 brackets, 24 screws).
- Install mounting brackets: Attach the Leitner mounting brackets. Ensure the tab on the factory bracket is oriented downwards. Use the supplied blue threadlocker on all factory M6 bolts.
- Secure brackets: Tighten all 6mm screws to 10 ft-lb (13 Nm). Snug down the 5mm set screws using a 3mm Allen wrench.
- Install load bars: Insert 2 T-bolts into one rail per load bar. Align the bars so they are centered on the vehicle. Torque all M8 locknuts to 16 ft-lb using a 13mm wrench.
- Final assembly: Push the rubber tread strip into the upper cross bar channel (use Windex as a lubricant if necessary). Install the end caps into the ends of the cross bars.
Safety and usage guidelines
- Load limits: Maximum load is 150 lbs off-road and 300 lbs on-road, but always follow the vehicle manufacturer's lower limit.
- Maintenance: Periodically inspect all knobs, bolts, and locks for wear or corrosion. Ensure all fasteners are tight before every trip.
- Driving precautions: Be aware of increased vehicle height and width. Long loads (kayaks, lumber, etc.) must be tied down at both front and rear.
- Locks: Use graphite or dry lubricant to maintain smooth operation of locks.

Practical help
Common problems
Difficulty inserting rubber tread strip
Use Windex (glass cleaner) as a lubricant to help slide the strip into the T-slot.
Damage to rack or vehicle
Avoid high-speed off-road driving with heavy loads; ensure all fasteners are checked at stops.
Before use
- Verify all M8 locknuts are torqued to 16 ft-lb.
- Ensure all 6mm screws are torqued to 10 ft-lb (13 Nm).
- Check that all factory M6 bolts have blue threadlocker applied.
- Confirm the tab on the center factory bracket is oriented downwards.
- Ensure all fasteners are properly tightened before every trip.
Specs in practice
- 10 ft-lb (13 Nm)
- Required torque for all 6mm screws.
- 150# (off-road)
- Maximum recommended load capacity for off-road conditions.
Images and diagrams
- The assembly overview shows the placement of the load bar, load bar pad, endcap, and mounting bracket.
- Hardware diagrams distinguish between the 2-bar kit (4 sets of hardware) and the single-bar kit (2 sets of hardware).
Model compatibility
- If carrying a roof top tent, place the two load bars as far apart as possible (at the furthest front and rear grab handle brackets).
- Extra load bars should be placed as close to the center as possible to support the tent.
- Maximum of 6 load bars can be added.
