Subject:luggage rack installation
From:Karl F. Bloss

Anyone ever installed a luggage rack from scratch, i.e. no pre-
drilled holes from the factory?  Any tricks to lining up those
brackets?

Also, except for the bolts on the front, which will be hidden under
my ceiling map tray (hacked out of the AC ductwork), I was hoping not
to have to peel back the headliner and possibly use sheetmetal
screws.  I figure it will be attached with 4 regular bolts and 8
additional screws.  Also, if it doesn't work out, I need the holes
created by the screws anyway.
