Install in reverse order of removal and note the following:
-- Clean the threaded pin threads on the roof railing with a wire brush.
-- Check the seal for damage and replace if necessary.
-- Carefully remove any remaining locking fluid from the nut threads that are installed with locking fluid using a thread tap.

There is no cleaning procedure, since there is a risk of the threaded pins shearing off when disassembling again.
-- Insert the roof railing with the guide pin into the mount on the vehicle roof.
-- Install the nuts with locking fluid and tighten.
