I attached the Garage Pro mounting plate to the luggage rack using the same three bolts which attach the stock trunk. Therefore, if I wish, I can switch back and forth from the Garage Pro Travel Trunk to the stock trunk, by merely removing the three bolts. I placed three washers under each of the two front bolts of the mounting plate to provide a tighter fit between the trunk and mount. I used 1/4" fender washers.



The Garage Pro (GP) Travel Trunk comes equipped with a foam mat to place under the mounting plate. You can place this foam mat upon the luggage rack as a template to mark the bolt holes. After placing the foam mat on the mounting plate, you can easily transfer the location of the bolt holes to the mounting plate itself.
