The kit from the dealer includes a template, maybe someone who bought that could offer it up.

Now what about the holes that are out in the enviroment? What are you going to do if it rains, won't it get wet inside?

So has anyone had theirs installed by the dealer then and if so how much did they charge for the rails and install? Are they otherwise factory installed in Mexico? The option lists out on the HHR site at $150 but I guess that's from the factory. Has anyone done the install themselves using the template when they had no preexisting holes? Any details would be welcomed.

I have little umbrellas in the holes so all should be well. :)

I'm just going to put flush screws in there and paint the tops white to match. And that way if I ever need to haul something, I can add the rails back on later.

Hey Tony

Do you have a picture of the holes left behind. I was thinking taking mine off and installing an aftertermarket rack system.

Thanks, John
