I have the overhead system - would not know why anyone would want one - I think they are next to worthless, just a gimmick..

It's a great idea, but poorly executed. There are really no products for the rail system that don't cost a ton of money. I think Ford only allows one company to make accessories for it?

It'll go up ... you'll probably have to drop your headliner and trim out the mounting areas. But the mounting brackets just clip in to the roof beams.

I'm not sure, but you may also need a wiring harness for the front & rear interior lights that will be added.
