This is the complete kit to allow you to add and remove a foxing awning plus add and remove your roof-mounted solar panel in seconds. The foxing adaptors have been designed to suit specifically Rhino Rack brand batwing awning, however could be adapted to suit other brands (please see images for size and dimensions).
The Heavy Duty Attachment Points which are gusseted back to the first fixing point to eliminate any flex or vibration and also incorporate a handy tie down point built in to the bracket. PLEASE NOTE: we do not supply any hardware to fix the attachment points to your roof rack as there are so many roof rack variations.
The Quick Fit Solar Clip is designed to attach to vehicle mounted solar panels, allowing you to add and remove a solar panel from your vehicle roof rack quickly and easily.
No need to move the car out of the shade, simply detach the solar panel and move into the sun, then re-attach to roof rack as required. The Quick Fit Solar Clip negates the need to carry extra portable solar panels, as you are able to use your once permanent roof rack mounted solar panel as a portable solar panel. Reducing costs and saving weight and space. Also ideal to store off the vehicle when not in use.

Quick Fit Triple Mount Kit Installation Instructions
Tools needed: 2 x 13mm spanners, tape measure
Step 1
Begin by bolting the Roof Rack Brackets to the roof rack in any position, so long as it will spread the load of the awning as evenly as possible. Use 6 x M8 16mm bolts and 12 x washers for this step.
Step 2
Using a tape measure, transfer measurements from the Roof Rack Brackets onto the back of your awning, bolting the Accessory Side Brackets to correspond with these measurements using 9 x M8 20mm bolts and 9 nuts and washers. In this process, the Foxwing Adaptors need to be sandwiched in between the Accessory Side Bracket and the awning, providing the width to bolt the awning to, as the Foxwing Adaptors are made from 4mm thick material and only go on one end of the accessory side bracket, this is also where the 4mm spacer is used to keep all brackets in alignment. This is easy to do measuring from one common point on both brackets. This needs to be done fairly accurately, and all Accessory Side Brackets need to be facing the same way for it to slide on.
Step 3
Once all bolted together, check for fit and make sure that all Accessory Side Brackets bottom out on the Roof Rack Brackets as close to the same time as possible (some fine tuning may be required at this point). Once happy, re-tighten the Accessory Side Brackets and insert locking bar and safety pin in either the front, back or centre. Use the leftover 10.5mm holes for a padlock, if required.
Now installation is complete, you may take your awning on or off as you please in seconds.
NOTE: Fit may be quite tight when new.
* We highly recommend using three attachment points when using the Quick Fit System for foxing awnings.
* Padlock can be used to lock awning on car (padlock not supplied).
* Please be aware that this bracket is to be used off-road, at your own risk, and requires a strong point to attach to, to work effectively.
