Default Roof rack on van that didn't come equipped with one

I've got the roof rack from a caravan the same year as mine, mine has no roof rack. Anyone have experience putting one on? I'm guessing it's removing headliner, drilling, bolting, sealing?

The roof rack is held on with rivnuts. Mark the hole location with the rack, drill the holes and crimp the rivnut which has sealer on it. Bolt on the rack.

The rivnut OE part number is 06504710, not sure if they are still available.

Rivnut size is M6x1.00x13.50.
