Attach the roof rack only at the attachment
points on the roof railing. On the inside of the
roof railing there are two holes for attaching the
rear end of the roof rack. To prevent confusing
the front and rear roof rack attachments, there
are three holes on the left and two holes on the
right for mounting the front part of the roof rack
~ fig . 80.
The roof racks have a sticker on the left side un­
derneath to identify front and rear .
