Install 105L Rigid Mounts on a Rugged Case

Quick answer

Install the 105L Rigid Mounts by sliding them into the tie-down channels of your 105L Rugged Case and bolting them to your roof rack or flat surface. No hardware is included, so you'll need your own bolts.

Installation steps

1. Position the mount in the tie-down channel: Slide the 105L Rigid Mount into the tie-down channel on the bottom of your 105L Rugged Case. The mount is designed to shoehorn in, so apply gentle pressure until it snaps into place. Make sure the mount is fully seated in the channel—if it wobbles, it's not in all the way.
2. Mark the bolt holes on your rack: Place the case with the mount on your roof rack or flat surface. Use a marker to indicate where the 1/4" holes on the mount align with your rack. Remove the case and drill 1/4" holes if needed. Double-check alignment before drilling—off-center holes can make the mount unusable.
3. Bolt the mount to the surface: Secure the mount to your rack using bolts that fit 1/4" holes (hardware not included). Tighten with a wrench or socket set. Repeat for each mount location. Use lock washers or thread-locker to prevent bolts from vibrating loose on rough terrain.
4. Attach the case and test security: Place the 105L Rugged Case back onto the mounted mounts. The case should sit flush without rocking. Give it a firm shake to confirm it's secure. If the case shifts, check that the mount is fully seated in the channel and bolts are tight.
