from what i can remember...
you will have to drill 1 hole for each side and use the supplied screws and washers to secure it.
then use the C-clips to hold it at the bottom.
make sure you use the double sided tape thats already on the lip
or use some new ones. (i applied some new ones at the corner).

hope this would help.

3m and the screws on the bottom of the lip is all you need, no need for drilling
