Yeh I did it. The two bolts for the bracket onto the roof rails straddle the factory fixing points for the rails onto the roof. The instructions say that if you are having anything bolt in behind the rear fixing point to do the rivets at the very back.

Scary process drilling your roof but once done those big rivets visibly pull the rail down to sit flush right to the back and the whole thing is rock solid. If you're going to load it up I'd say do the rivets.

And that is why I would only fit genuine rails..

Bugger drilling into the roof!!!!
