I've been asked about this a couple times, so here it is with pictures
remove the fake air-box cover by pushing up on it - it may be stiff, so pry GENTLY, it will pop off
there are screws hidden under the rubber, pull the rubber off the window surround but not all the way off.
like this
curved 50" light, this works as well for a 52.5" light
test fit
be sure to measure to the point you're going to mount the light - it's pretty easy to do if you use the center screw hole as the only first mount then move the end up or down as required
run self-tapping screw through the plastic and into the metal A pillar - there is some variation about where to put the light. I put mine so you can, if you scoot forward a bit, see the bottom of the light bar... but honestly, it's simply a matter of aesthetics about how far up or down the pillar you put the light bar.
remove the bracket and plastic cover to expose the post. there is a snap-lock that holds the top of the plastic cover to the rail cover... it's a pain but patience and a small screw driver you can push it apart
drill, then mount the nutserts - the metal is at least 3 layers thick so when you drill, you will have to go through 2 layers to get enough depth to put the nutsert in place... be sure to fully-tighten the 'serts
reassemble
optional:
On the G2 brackets, it holds the light a lot further from the windshield then I think it should be - so you can redrill the holes (and was the impetus of building my own brackets)
Hope this helps
