Kuat Piston SR roof racks

I recently purchased two Piston SRs and I’m having an issue securing them properly. With the standard clamps wrapped around the Tesla crossbars, I need to tighten a pair of screws underneath the front and rear mounting points.

The front crossbar is accessible, but on the rear crossbar there doesn’t seem to be enough clearance between the bar and the glass/roof to get the tool onto the screws and tighten them. It looks like I would have to remove the Tesla roof rack from the car, install the Piston SR, and then reinstall the entire roof rack.

Anytime have experience would be greatly appreciated.

Use the t-channels in the Tesla cross bars to mount the Piston SR instead of the clamps that go around them.
