To begin the installation, start by removing the plastic seal on the roof. Use spacers to measure for fixing the supports, mark the holes with a permanent marker, and proceed to drill using a depth gauge to avoid piercing the car's headlining and clean the area.

Fill the holes with silicone to prevent water ingress, and screw the supports in place with the appropriate screws and washers. Cut the initially removed seal at the points where the supports have been mounted and reattach the rest of the seal.

Now securely fasten the roof bars and apply the final finishing covers. The car in question is a Nissan Qashqai.
