Factory roof bars + roof box (460)

Hi All,

I have a 2017 220i Gran Tourer (F46) with the factory roof rails.

I have purchased the BMW roof bars and factory roof box (460).

Here's my question:

The box came installed at delivery. However, the roof rail's rubber strips (that get pushed into the top of the roof bars) were not installed.

I cannot find any instructions that indicate whether or not the rubber inserts should be installed when the roof box is on.

If they should be installed, I suspect that I will need to cut the stripes into three (one large piece in the middle, then two smaller stripes on either side of the mounting bolts?

Any tips?

Thanks!
