Remove/Fit roof rails (Avant)

[ian.f]

Hi Forum,

As title suggests, has anyone removed/fitted the roof rails on the B9 avant?
I’m getting black ones to replace my chromes, and wondered if anyone has any fitting tips?
I’m guessing the process will be the same as removing the whole interior headliner?

TIA

Make sure nut torque is adhered too as one wrong turn & its an expensive replacement.

Sounds like you’re talking from experience!
Thanks for the tip, will make sure I get the torques before I install.

Experience of installing, but not experience from breaking any lol.
