JDM/EDM Roof Rack Information

This thread is to dispel any rumour/misinformation/misunderstanding about the roof racks that come on JDM/EDM Shuttles.
People have said that the rood rack secures to the car in the channel between the roof skin and the body. This is false.
People have said that you need to remove the headliner to access nuts underneath. This is false.
1. Front mounting location, showing the two holes in the roof skin. I think these are torx head screws.
2. Middle mounting location, showing two studs protruding from the roof skin.
3. Rear mounting location showing two more holes in the roof skin.
4. To remove a JDM/EDM rack simply remove the plastic caps at each end of the roof rack to expose the screws. In the middle there are two rubber bungs, try and pry these upwards as you can lose them inside the rail itself.
I will get some measurements soon for those of you retrofitting these onto your wagons.

Middle plugs: as haydz said lift them upwards, once you have a edge up give them a twist while pulling up to make it easier
Hatch end: good luck
