Yakima Q Clips instructions

I just picked up Q78 Qclips from my local Bike shop to adapt my existing Yakima rack to my MINI. The included instructions only included fitment measurements for a Ford ZX2. Nothing specific to a MINI. I did find the attachment below that lists the measurements but not the notes for the MINI application.

Does anyone have a PDF of this document (both sides) or a screen grab of both sides which would include the fitment notes for the MINI?

Thanks-
Randy

Wait are you talking about these notes.

I got these from a Yakima rep.

Notes and Measurements (inches) for Mini Cooper
M1: 36 1/2 M2: 6 M3: 37 1/4 M4: 18
Notes:
61. The rubber door seals and/or trim may deform or be damaged under prolonged contact with any roof rack towers and/or clips. Remove rack when not in use.
95. Maximum load is bikes, skis, and/or a BasketCase.
100. Up to two bicycles may be carried on this application.
112. The sunroof should not be opened while the rack is installed. Remove rack when not in use.
113. The roof and/or trim is very soft. Do not overtighten or overload the rack.
165. Maximum allowable weight load is 75 lbs.

I've had my rack for over 10 years on my MCS with very few issues. I've had to had to make a few adjustments to the Yakima measurements over the years but I have always been able to open my sunroof. I had to move the towers beyond 18" inches apart (as you can see in the images, I don't think I have a pic of the sunroof actually open but it does open w/o any issues), but that's about it, I think. I've had bikes, surf boards, snowboards and now a load warrior basket it with no issues.
