Thanks, that really helps a good bit!
I think I will go the same general route. There is a body shop right next to my work, I'll try and get them to remove the headliner while I snap pictures of the procedure. That is if they will let me. Then I can run back over to my shop with the car......(same parking lot) install the rack were I want it, take it back to them to reinstall the headliner. Probably take the majority of the day but I think it will be worth the effort and I can post shots of the interior roof without the headliner installed. Great plan........we will see how well the implementation goes!
I talked to the guys at Rack Attack (very helpful), when they install permanent racks they assemble the entire rack on a table including the landing pads that screw to the roof. That way they can get everything parrallel and in the proper spacing on the roof. They have only installed the landing pads on several Fits, (not the full track like you did and I will) because of the curve on the roof will only allow one area were the rack will sit level. I just like the look of the track and also the ability to remove all but the track if I sell the car. Just looks better IMO then leaving the 4 landing pads screwed to the roof! Besides, the tracks will except Thule or Yakima hardware. Nice to have that option!
I will make every attempt to document the entire process.
