Don't think you can do this without removing the headlining as if you cut in the wrong place it will look awful !
With the headlining out the area to cut for the mounts is marked on the reverse side.
The captive nuts are already in place in the roof structure - you need to cut the headlining in exactly the right position or it just won't work.
If you can drop the headlining down at the back you should just be able to see where the captive nuts are, but I doubt it will drop enough for you to get a blade in to cut it in the right place - you might be able to mark it in some way though.

Best bet is to find someone local who already has the mounts and measure carefully. Where are you?
Kind regards

Does the mount fit near the C pillar? Does the guard go straight up or angled?

Yes, but where are you? Mine has one.....
It's roughly 6 inches back from the C pillar.

Here ya go :





Looks like the mounts are exactly mid-way along the back window - I'd still be dropping the headlining down to try and cut it through from the factory markings on the back though.

yes, the net is vertical. if you follow the photos above, you may be able to feel the screw holes through the headlining
