I bought a Skoda roof rack for my Enyaq Coupe recently and couldn't attach the supplied rubber strips but found advise from an old Fabia post.

I've attached photos to show you how. It is easy when you know how but your fingers know they've done a workout when completed!

It's a great roof rack very quick and easy to put on/remove from the car.

Start spotting in one edge first then start pushing from the opposite side NOT from above. The images should make sense. Just keep working your way up a few inches at a time:-)

I'd have put the strip in warm soapy water, make it more flexible, not saying it would work but that's what I would have tried.
