Basically how is yours fitted?
mine had what can only be described as roofing material screws/bolts, and a large spacer washer under each of the front holes....
my questions
a- is this right a self tapping roof type bolt with a rubber washer affair both on the shoulder of the fixing and underneath on the front lip......
b-how is the back fixed and kept water tight, now the seal is on there is a gap between the fixing flat lip section and the roof....is there supposed to be more rubber washers? it looks like they would need to be thicker than the front ones?
I wanted to bolt and nut using appropriate rubber washers to keep out the water, but getting to the rear fixing is a pain I think unless I've missed something?
And finally [might as well keep it all in one thread] how are the roof bars fixed? nut and bolt? rivett? there doesn't look to be much room there.
thanks in advance
