Installing Permanent Roof Racks/Rails 200

Do yourself a big favour and use double-sided tape only for mounting. This way you can take it off without much damage when the novelty wears off ;-)

Seriously, though, give the ribs on the roof a miss. They are the worst rust triggers, since their screws move if you place enough load on to flex them. I have just spent 500 Aussie $ to have six coin-sized holes filled on the roof and it's nailbiting time for a couple of years to see if there is a recurrence. The mounting holes of the rack were clean, though, and the rack stayed as I am actually using it.
