3.2 mm (1/8 in.) drill bit to drill pilot holes in the two locations

If you are drilling into a fiberglass surface, you may need to
use a specialized drill bit or drill counter-clockwise to avoid
damaging the fiberglass. For more information, contact your
vehicle manufacturer or a professional installer.

If necessary, apply waterproofing sealant around the drilled
pilot holes.
You must use an outdoor waterproofing sealant that will bond
with your vehicle's exterior surface without damaging it. For
more information, contact your vehicle manufacturer or a
professional installer.

contact your vehicle manufacturer or a professional installer.
