Then, holes are drilled in the ceiling in steps of about 30 cm., The dowels are hammered and the guide profile is fastened, after which holes for tires are drilled parallel to each other in increments of 1 meter. The tire is measured in length, the excess is cut off, the tire is fixed on suspensions in level.

Further, the rail thus prepared is tucked with the trimmed side into the profile, and the other edge is connected to the edge of the previous one.
reiki. All other rails are diagonal into the profiles, only the last one is sideways first, with the first edge all the way it is inserted into the profile, then the second edge is inserted into the profile, after which the rail is placed evenly relative to the walls and fixed on to the bus.
