Question about Genuine LR Roof Rails

As the title, I have just fitted a set of LR roof rails to our RRS.
My question is, on each side, the rails are secured with 3 bolts. Is there supposed to be a grommet or something to cover the hole over the top of the bolts?
Its just that it looks unfinished and I appreciate that you cant see it unless you are on the roof but they are open to the elements.

Thanks in anticipation

Unfortunately there are no grommets to cover the bolts once they are in place, but you could put a piece of black duct tape up there to cover them up and prevent them from getting rusted or exposed to the elements. PJPR

They were 'relatively' easy to fit. Hardest part was getting the 6 trim studs out from the fitted rail covers on my 10 plate.
If these had come out easily, the whole job would have been 15 mins.

I will post some pics when i get my car back on Friday. Its at the dealer for a Service and MOT.

They don't stand very tall and are very discrete. Thumbs Up
