    No.

    Plenty of posts if you use the search facility. If you just put in “roof rails” 130 odd hits. Add “fitting” and your down to 5 including your own post.

    I fitted mine at the weekend, very easy following Al's guide. I found the worst bit was getting the sticky residue left behind from the original ditch finishers. Save yourself a fair bit doing them yourself compared to what a dealer will charge.

    If you are doing them yourself, at this time of year when its cold, either try and do the work in a warm garage, or if you are outside, warm the plastics up a bit first just so that they aren't "brittle"
