[QUOTE="Clem, post: 232077, member: 15"] Yes ... its rubbish :mrgreen: The rear are three long self tappers, the rubber bungs between rack and roof should stop water ingress, but Ive always worried about it. Part of my winter project is to re-do all this. My self tapper holes are worn, so I will either weld captive nuts in place, as Ive seen someone else do, or weld/rivet small plates in place to create 'new' self tapp holes. Ill fix the bungs all in place with good sealant too. The nuts/bolts that hold the rack bars in place have to be almost flush to clear the roof. [/QUOTE]
