Put on the new OEM black roof rack this weekend. Pretty simple, and definitely printed off a few guides from here to help me, they were much appreciated. Only issue was cutting the roof channel covers. I tried a dremel but kept breaking disks. Ended up grabbing a hack saw and using that. Took about 45min to make all the cuts and they were not precise, but it worked great. In case anyone wondered if you could use a hacksaw instead. I was off by a few MM on each cut, but since the rack feet cover them up it didn't ultimately matter.

installed mine this week ,the instructions on cutting the roof channel strips measurements were about 6-7 inches too short. ,don't follow the factory instructions on where to cut ,measure it yourself.
