Help with installation of roof rack - 3/28/2007 8:31:49 PM

I just purchased (on EBay) a set of cross bars for my roof rails on my 2001 Passat Wagon.  Unfortunately, no installation instructions came with the bars.  I have the bars, the keys, an allen wrench and what I believe is called a torque spanner.

I have figured out how to install the rails, but am wondering what I am supposed to do with the torque spanner.  I imagine that is used to test the torque on the allen screw at the ends of the rails, though I do not know how to use this tool.

Does anyone have a set of instructions that you could scan and send along?  If not, is anyone familiar with the installation and could guide me through with your description?  I believe the part number is 3B0 071  151 009.  It has the rubber top imbedded on the cross bars. 

I will be carrying a canoe on these rails and want to make sure I have a correct installation.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!
