Ok after three hours I figured it out. Once you have the hook in the position and all that is left is to apply pressure to press it in. Instead of using your hand like the directions and the instructional video shows. You have to put your foot in the back of the body and put your knee against where you hand is suppose to push and push using your knee with your foot in the back of the body as support. This whole body force snaps it in.
After trying for hours as well we tried something we thought would never work-but it did and boy did we wish we would have done it hours ago! If you place the ends of the pillars in a pot of boiling water for a few minutes it helps to soften the plastic a little. You must actually hold to pillars in the water for safety purposes. But after a few minutes in the boiling water-the pillars snapped in with no trouble at all!! We were amazed at how easy it was! It works but please use caution with the boiling water!
Don't take any notice of the rubbish instructions on how to fit the roof onto the pillars. Fit the pillars onto the roof first, then fit the pillars and the roof onto the red body of the car in one go. much easier
