I have a '93 245 with an OEM roof rack - one of the very late model racks that BigDan indicated in an earlier thread was originally intended for the 700/900/V90 series. It has only 2 vertical support feet per side, with cross strips. No surprise, the well nuts are shot and need to be replaced. I want to replace the rubber gaskets that sit between the rack feet and the roof as well to ensure no water/rust down the road. My dealer has the well nuts but says the roof rack installation kits, that would included the gaskets, for the 200s are no longer available. Any one know if the kits for a 700/900/V90 would include similar shaped gaskets? Any alternative suggestions on where I can purchase substitute gaskets? Sure would appreciate any help.


Incidentally, I have read all the threads and acknowledge the opinions about the poor quality of the OEM racks vs. Thule clamp ons but I plan to paint and reinstall mine:
I have never had a problem with OEM rack and have hauled lots of lumber, 120lb Gheeno boat, etc.
No signs of rust on top or on the headliner
I like the look of the rack and don't like the look of the iPd plugs.
I don't want to mess with trying to blend/match the paint under the rack fee if I remove it.
