Roof Rails..Need Help!!!
Hi,
I bought a plain ML about seven months ago and the car did not have the standard roof rails. about a week or so I purchased the standard roof rails from the dealer.
The dealer told me it was very expensive to install them around $800 just for installation.
I am planning on adding the roof rails purely for the looks of the car. I have no intention on placing any weight or tying anything on them.
Does anyone have an idea of how can I install them on to my car?? some kind of special glue or tape???
Please help!!!
Thank you!!

You really can't use glue or the like if you want them to stay on. $800 is not bad considering whats involved, headliner removal, replacement, drilling the correct holes, reinforcing the area. Why on earth did you buy one without the rails??
