Rails do not align with pre-drilled holes.
Verify that you have the Thule Mounting Rails specifically for the Foothill model. Ensure no debris is obstructing the holes. If issues persist, double-check the tent's orientation.

Ensure the quick-install brackets are properly aligned with the rails and fully engaged. Clean any dirt or debris from both the rails and the brackets. Check that the rails are securely fastened to the tent.
