OK, silly question time. I've just bought a set of Paddy Hopkirk roof bars for my UK 5 door focus hatchback. Having never had a 'gutterless' car before, I was wondering where on the roof the support pads should rest, either outside of the two strips on the roof, on top of the strips, or inside them (if the brackets will let them). If outside of the strips, should they be as close as possible to them?
Thanks in advance,
Chris
