The Sun Rack II and other racks with square rail holes might require cage nuts.

2. Insert the tip of the cage nut insertion tool through the rail hole and hook the top lip of the cage nut ((Number 2 in FIGURE A-1).

3. Using the insertion tool, pull the cage nut through the hole until the top lip snaps into place ((Number 3 in FIGURE A-1).
