Default RX 350 F-Sport 2013 roof rails installation ?

I just bought a 2013 RX 350 F-Sport in Quebec, Canada. I have a Ski box and I need roof rails to install it. Does anyone know if it can be installed on an RX 350 F-sport manufactured for the Canadian market.

There are four plastic covers that usually mean there is place to screw the rails. However, I've had different opinions from the dealers I consulted. One said yes from the top of the car and the other told me it needed to the inside head liner to be removed.

Does anyone know, if it is possible to install the rails (I already bought from a used parts seller) from the top of the vehicle without having to remove the inside head liner?

If so, what is the size of the screws to use?

Also, The F-Sport version of the RX was originally sold without rails in Canada and with rails in USA when it was assembled at the same plan in Canada.

Thanks in advance.

The headliner will need to be removed to install them, but yes, it can be done!

Thank you very much for the answer Batchelor.

Has anyone ever made the rails installation ? Do you have any advice, I intend to do it myself?

Thanks in advance

Since this is the NX forum, you might try the RX forum. There should be more people there that have installed the rails on a RX.
