The attached document above is the instructions for fitting the short rails.
I found this is a useful video even if it concentrates on the long rails it gives an idea.

Some say to carefully "tap" the roof holes a bit as they may have some gunk in them (I didn't do this as I wasn't aware at the time). I put masking tape around the plugs prior to removing them as the rubber covering the channel strips was fairly easy to scratch. I also found that spinning out the christmas tree plugs out worked best for me.
As a novice, I found it a fairly easy job to do but measured loads of times before cutting the metal roof channel strip with a fine hacksaw.
If you search Aulro at the bottom for "roof rail bolts" or similar you will find extra info and some issues e.g.
