I drove myself nuts trying to get the templet centered before I started the drill - came out fine but "I" found it to be a pain in the butt.

I ended up not even using the template. What I did was used a little grease to hold the grommets on the rack and put some double stick tape on the bottom of the grommets then I could position the rack where I wanted it, press down on it good to stick the tape, remove the rack and the grommets stayed in position, marked the spots to drill and pop off the grommets. It worked well and I could see the rack sitting there instead of a piece of paper.

I have put the Premium rack on both our RoadSofas. We use them as overflow and for things like Tube chairs. Great way to take a seat with you. I used the template to gauge the space for a spoiler, when we thought about going that way. Blue tape under template and an spring loaded center punch. Back up your lid with a block of wood to prevent splintering on the inside and drill with little pressure.

Or put some blue tape on inside oflid where holes will come outand it reduces splintering.

Newer bags are not fiberglass(gray inside). They are plastic(black inside).

Couple of other tips:

1. Measure/eyeball the alignment 3 - 4(even 5) times before you decide to drill.

2. Put some silicone caulking onthe bolts(betweenwasher and inside of tour pack lid)right before you snug them down completely and then run a bead around them after you've snugged them down.
