Mopar Performance Rail Install Help

[TyRoosevelt]

Hello everyone,

With Mopar performance rails or even the rubicon rails, do you tighten the pinch seam hardware first then the bolts into the body? Or viceversa? Do I need to lift up the rails while I install or let them sit on the pinch seam hole? I get this may be basic to some but my rails are sitting odd and I want to make sure I am installing them correctly.

I am attaching a diagram from Mopar.

Thanks in advance,
