Help with roof rack

[cozborn]

So I bought my car brand new, and havent put a lot of miles on it considering multiple road trips. and its about time I got a roof rack. I am looking for one that mounts on the roof and not the ones that hook up on the Top of the door, I have seen a few photos of this on this forum. I have looked at the service manual and everywhere else I could think. I was wondering if that can happen, Does anyone know if under these tabs is some kind of bolt receiver?

Any and all help would be appreciated and the blue p5 is the one that lets me know I can do it, just need to know how

There are holes, but no nut. You would have to remove the headliner to install a nut. Below is link to the "How to" thread showing the removal of the rack. I hope this helps.

Yes, slide that little cover off. You should see a threaded bolt hole.
Watch the FS section for the racks.
Hardware store will have the bolts. NOTE! The shortest bolt goes in the back (aft) holes. So get a bolt that works for the rears and it will work for the fronts too.

I would recommend wing bolts so you can remove and re-install easily.
