Already did that, how do I install the roof molding. I deleted my rack cause they were breaking apart.

I'm planning to do the same thing to my car soon, because my roof plastics are also breaking apart. The bad news is that you have to remove the headliner to remove the current plastics, and install the caps. Here is a how-to: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?22209-How-To-Remove-Roof-Rack-(P5)

Like I said, lol. Already took off the roof rack, my question is how do I install the roof moldings how are they held down. All I see it two retainers
in the front of car. So how is threat held down, do I need to order more retainers or what.

Ah, yes, there are 2 clips needed according to the diagram. I can't say for sure, mine haven't arrived yet. See part #2 here: http://onlinemazdaparts.com/parts/2...cleid=138154&diagram=5416468&diagramCallOut=1

It's been a while since I removed my roof strips but I'm pretty sure there are 5 maybe 6 rivets in the roof that the clips go onto and then the filler strips snap onto the clips.

Don't forget to put silicone in/on the holes left in the roof after rack removal. You will have a leak.
