So I just got done installing my smittybilt awning to my yakima bars. I just drilled through the yakima bars and bolted the brackets straight to the bars. Is it possible to do the same thing with a roof top tent? I have the smittybilt tent which is similar to all the other ones that use an aluminum mount with sliding bolts that you mount whatever direction you need for how you want it to open. Are the aluminum mounts structural in any way? They are about 1.5 inches so if I just drill holes in the bars and the base of tent would I be good? May be a lot of trouble to save 1.5 inches in height.
