Scott, I'm assuming that your friend is using Yakima's Bolt Top Loaders to mount the system? This is actually fairly easy to do. Just figure out where you want the towers to be, which will depend on what you are carrying, and use the loaders as a template for your drilling. One thing I do recommend is putting a larger piece of aluminum or steel between the roof and the bolt top loader. This will increase the surface area supporting the weight of the load on the rack, alleviating stresses in the fiberglass top. Other than that there's not much to it. Good luck and happy paddling.
