roof rail bolting

[Graeme]

What will I find under the roof rail cover strip in the way of nuts for roof rail bolts and what holds the cover strip in place?
On my L322 I used roof rail/rack nuts to mount brackets for flexible radio antennas and would like to do the same on the L405.
Thanks
Graeme

Thanks Laurie, no I hadn't and the video shows what I wanted to know. I'd like to mount the antennas elsewhere but there aren't many options at the rear and the front is out of the question. The L322 has the little flip-up covers where feet can be mounted without damaging the main cover strips.

I put my aerial on the rear of the factory roof rails (which I added and fitted when I bought the car)
