Welcome to the forum. If your unit didn’t come from the factory with topper rails installed, then you can add them. As a rule we use putty tape on the rail, and then just screw into the sidewall. The putty is very sticky and helps hold the rail. You need to take care not to tighten the screws to tight and stripping out the hole.

Some brands are easier to install, if your unsure then the dealer can be a good choice as there is most likely a tech that does them all the time.
