[QUOTE="dubdubz, post: 231970, member: 1072"] 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 Darren [/QUOTE]
