Can hardly believe it's just sitting on top of the FRP.
Many of the roofracks I've seen in combination with FRP-tops were effectively sitting on top of a construction underneath the top. Most of the time with bolts through the top as to fix the rack to the construction.
Everyone I've ever spoken to who had a roofrack sitting directly on the FRP-top was complaining about cracks developing.
the rack is bolted to 5inch wide stainless steel plate underneath so no cracks and silicon on both sides so it does not leak
