4. From the bottom channel nut inserted in Step 3, count up four holes. 

Slide a channel nut over the corresponding hole on the inside vertical 
rail (Figure 2-7). Install a second channel nut on the inside rail four 
holes above the first nut. Repeat for the other rail. Install channel nuts 
on the corresponding holes on the rear inside rails.
