from memory when I did mine,
you need to
remove the 4 plastic covers.
Remove the bolts and washers that are under the cover.
Get the rail, and line it up making sure that the rubber base is under the rail.
Insert the bolts and tighten as hard as possible
(failure to do so will mean that water runs down the inside of the lining and possibly short the roof light (speaking from experience))

worth keeping the plastic bits and the bolt in a safe place, then when you come to sell the car, you can always remove the roof bars and sell them on flee bay

Just about to fit some rails to my car but what is unclear is whether you need to tighten anything from inside the car, i.e do i need to remove headlining???

Just tighten them could be worth wrapping a bit of plumbers tape around the bolt if you have any, of not just make usre they are tight to stop the water leaking in.
