Hi Folks

I bought these racks to fit on the top of the panniers of my 2023 TC.

I bought them from a Company in Poland (details in the photo) and although they took just under a month to arrive in the UK they seem great quality.

They didn’t come with a template or instructions so I am in two minds as to whether to get dealer fit but was hoping to do so myself.

Does anyone have any experience? I was planning to make a template and then masking tape on the top of the panniers to drill.

I am guessing I need some kind of Silicone sealant (Sikaflix or similar) around the hole but these came with screws, a thin metal washers then plastic washer. Would it be metal washer then plastic washer inside the pannier. and no washers outside or should I put the plastic into the bodywork (will be slightly visible.

I measured these and I believe the Kriga 10L or 12L pack should fit.

Apologies for being a bit dim just don’t want to make a mess of my pride and Joy 🙄

Show some pictures in the end! I would be interested in it for when I go traveling with the misses that likes to bring her stuff :D
I'm not a lot of help, but I would say plastic washer outside not to damage the paint more and get a better weather seal. there are no instructions?
