Before drilling the holes in the roof, take both the 5mm & 12mm drill bits and wrap a band of insulation tape around each bit to act as a stopper to prevent you from drilling to deep as there are airbags located below where you will be drilling.
Drill a 5mm pilot hole on both markings.
Open holes to 12mm.

Insert the M6 Button Head Bolt (Item 27) into the one side of the Installer Wrench (Item 20), loosly fit a Jack Nut (Item 19) to the Button Head Bolt as shown.
Using the Installer Wrench and a M6 x 30 Button Head Bolt, insert the M6 Jack Nuts into the holes drilled.
Place the Assembly into the holes drilled in 3.3. Using a battery powered screw driver and a 4mm Allen Key Bit, set the Jack Nut into the hole while holding onto the handle of the Installer Wrench.
Make sure that the Jack Nut has pulled up all the wat to the inside skin of the roof panel.

TEMPORARY FITMENT

With the factory rails removed and starting at the front edge of the molding, measure and mark the dimensions as shown onto both the LH & RH ditch moldings.

Use denatured alchohol and ensure the ditch is clean from any residue where the Support Plate 01 (Item 5) will be resting on the ditch.
Remove the backing from the double sided tape on the bottom of the Support Plate 01 (Item 5) and push the plate firmly down onto the body of the vehicle.
