Default gobi rack with windshield lights??

does anyone have a gobi rack and lights mounted on the windshield corners?
i was on their website looking at pics and i only saw one jeep with lights there. i cant tell what they are running though for mounts. i didnt expect the rack to have another piece of steel coming out mounting to one of those holes. its kind of an issue but i really dont want to cut it off... any thoughts or pics?

You may have to add a spacer/washer behind the lower side of the windshield light bracket to make it work.
