Hi guys! I just got hands on roof rails for the Roomster (for the Google reference code is LAH770001), but without fitting templates (LAH770011). Fitting templates was not available at the time + ridicule high price for two peace of plastics that will be used only once just to make few marks was too much! Also when inquiring at the official Skoda service they even did not know that for the mounting rails also roof needs to be drilled (I guess that they did not done that before)...
...so we decided to give it a try and fit roof rails by our own with "little" work and planning. If that fails miserably and we destroy the roof, then what the heck.... I always wanted topless version, of the car... Without fitting template we have few options to mark holes for drilling: 1) To copy hole positions from the another Roomster 2) Making cardboard copy from the another fitting template 3) Or from the inside, to remove lining and access mounting bolts from the below if possible. And though mounting bolts to mark and drill small guidance holes... I'm interested if option 3 is possible at all. Question for you who did fitting by your own, did you see lining through drilled hole at all? Option 2 will be also really cool and helpful, but I guess no one that owns fitting template and also checks this forum, have it close in mine area (Athens - GR)... But I can't know if I do not ask I'll try to make some pictures and write step by step of the fitting process, so it can be helpful for others who choose to go with DIY approach.
Thanks!
