advice on fitting roof rails

[mikejcb]

Hi has anyone fitted roof rails to a terrano. i have a 04 swb an i have just recieved my rails off ebay, do i have to take the roof lining out as it looks alot of work. I was thinkin of just filling the holes in the lining with some plastic caps or somethink. also any advice will be really appreciated as im iching to get them on

just undo the edges of the lining, easy enough.

Some people use rivnuts, then you would not have to. But I'd still like to know where I am drilling.

hello mate thanks, can you tell me more about these rivnuts what do they do , do they callapse when they tighten

have a google, better than me explaining.

I did mine bolted through with large body repair washers, wouldn't use rivnuts tbh

headlining takes about 20 mins to drop out with hand tools, piece of piss
