rack/s

I appreciate the reply and offer.

I went with the amazon one I linked.

I wil be drilling hole in channel and use a stud with nut on the inside and nut in the channel.Its gonna be rock solid.

I also got a thule wind deflector to go with it.

Even if I was willing to spend the thule or yakima price I find It bulky and not a fan of the hook system.

I may post pic/s when done?

You will definitely post pics when done. Not just end result either. Since so few rail installs have been done, we need another one with a pictorial documentation of the process.

Rack not rails.

They are not considered rails but rack.I linked item.

I was talking to an auto body friend and he says the metal is thick in the roof ditch area.He said 5-6mm wide bolt type screws would hold the rack no issue.

He said you could probaly pull the bars off before the mounts would come off?

He said using stud wouldint really be that much stronger and considering rack is only holding 38 LB kayak anyway.
