Drive-away awning rail

[CAPTAINBUCK01]

Hi all,
Im not sure if this is the correct page to post in, but I am after some fitting instructions/advice for my drive away awning rail which I have purchased from VW. It comes with tape, primer and adhesive but im just after a nudge in the right direction from someone that might have had experience in fitting one of these?

The only additional thing you need to buy is Silkafix remover to remove the excess before it cures.
