    NOTE: Fasten the top clip first near the coat hanger, and work towards the trunk.
    IMPORTANT: Make sure each clip makes an audible snap as they engage with the side rail. If there is no audible snap, the clip has not properly attached. Remove the side rail trim, inspect the clips, replace any damaged clips, and then re-install the trim.
