Retrofit Loadspace Rails into a 5+2 - DIY or dealer?

I'd like to retrofit the Loadspace Rails so I can use the retention bar kit to keep our buggy/baggage from falling on the dog.

In previous cars it was a simple case of buying the rails from the parts dept, then I lifted trim/carpet and screwed into existing pre-drilled mounting holes. It it the same DIY job with the RRS, or does it require the holes to be drilled etc by the dealer?

Thanks in advance

If you pay the fortunes the dealership will ask to fit it you will get a 12 months warranty on the fitting. Is it possible to fit the load retention system with 5+2 and still retain the use of the 2 kiddy seats in the boot? 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Thanks, I rang my local dealer and they've confirmed there's no drilling/cutting required if I want to do it myself rather than pay them £90+VAT for the privilege.

There are two rail sets, one is specific for 5+2 equipped cars which allows you to continue using the seats.

I would save the £90+VAT and do it myself - the dealer isn't even allowing an hour of labour so you would loose the use of your car for probably all day for that cost if you sent it to the dealership............ 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
