How do you remove the rubber in the fix points to put on roof bars?

find a real human that has hands that can fix cars
we cant just magically see car, and do inspections here.
impossible.
my wild guess, now. (mostly useless)
the door is bent or the seal is bad.
google how to do the news paper strip test.

Thule QM3 Quick On Off Mounting Hardware Kit Recommendation for 1997 Thule...

u need to drill a hole for the bolts. then use gasket glue on the bolt b4 u bolt it down

pull the trim back on the roof and their is fixing bolt holes ,later ones didnt have this so you use special mounts called enclaces in spanish which fit on the special bars ,lot of messing i know but look for the bolt holes either in the roof strips or open the doors and behiond the door surround rubber they did move them over the years or with my old age iam getting confussed with the opel kadetts ,or seat leons ,anyway this model iam sure its the door strip rubbers

That's usually easier to do if you remove one side rail.
There are usually six access holes in the rail that the screws go into. (pretty sure the screws are torx type) Once the rail is off, you can easily attach the cross bars and re-attach the rail to the roof. Ends of cross bars are held on with a screw that goes in from the bottom side. When replacing roof screws it is good to put a dab of silicone sealer on each screw hole to prevent rust or leaks.

yes

Hi Its easy to do I did this last night. It is in the manual but light on detail

Remove the rubber and you will see a screw
Use a size 25 torx screw bit and a ratchet as it is in tight. Undo the screw and move the bars.

For some reason there is only one more locking point you can move forward to from there you are on your own but normally it is just the last bit you need.

I believe the logic is to do with a combination of wind noise and the position of the sun roof on some models.

if you have a sound bar you must remove it from the top of the roll bar then remove the foam from the bar also on the bar that is bolted to the front windshield and back bar the one over the doors ther is a bolt on top a 50 torx with a line in it you need to purchase a sloted 50 torx bit loose and pull forward or back this will help 

5mm shouldnt be a problem, i think that you can also put some thing like vaseline on to, that should also help as a barrier

Take a thin utility cord. Tie it to one end of the front bar and wrap it repeatedly around the bar to the other end of the front bar (spaced about an inch per loop, working around anything attached to the rack) where you tie it tight. Can disrupt the airflow to break the noise - got rid of all of the noise from my rack. I used a 10 foot cord cost $1.60. Doesn't look as cool as a fairing, but much cheaper and no one will steal it from your car. And you don't have to move the bars so that you can't use them.
