Changed up the roof rack mounting hardware for the Prinsu rack. I think this will work a ton better.
Here's the config from Prinsu (Photo doesn't show well, but the nut on top is not flush, the bottom of the bolt head at the bottom also runs into the small seal on the top of the door when it opens):
Here's the hardware flipped, bolt coming in from the top and a split lock washer instead of the serrated nut. Note the bolt head not lining up:
Here's the way I'll be mounting them. I don't think all 8 mounts need it, but the front 4 do. Will report back once I get it all finalized. Need to grind these tapered washers round and paint them black:
Parts I ordered for this, all from McMaster Carr (P/N to search is the 9xxxxxxx):
Some of the mount locations will need longer than the 1.5" bolts, in those I will use the hardware that came with the rack.
