Pretty sure you will have to drill into your C-pillar in order to properly install it. Attach it with some bolts. Then add sealant around it to prevent leaks.
However, to PROPERLY install it, i've read that you need the OEM brackets for the inside.

#1. Don't rush it, if you have no idea what you're doing let someone do it who will put it on straight.
Putting on the roof vane with no guide holes isn't that easy. Are the sides of it even painted? If not? Let me know I can paint it for you at a low cost..

How bout get some sandpaper and rub it all around the inside edge to try to evenly remove material, until it fits snuggly? (I mean does it barely not fit... or HELLA not fit) I was gonna say hole saw but that might not work out to well...
