I got my shipping notification from Brian at Prospeed yesterday and received it today (I live in Nevada so only one state over).
Thanks for getting these out!
Can't wait to get it mounted.

Anyone recommend what adhesive or sealant to use for the holes? I know the sample installation video (from LXPlore) used a black RTV.

So happy for you guys, I’m expecting my shipping notification soon.

I imagine yours will go this week when available. I had a shipment to GA. I see you are in FL, so I’m guessing you’re in the next wave!

I recommend any silicone based sealant or weather sealant and I recommend using clear sealant so you can see the bolt holes easier

Hey everyone, just got around to installing the roof rack today. Definitely a bit more difficult than I thought it would be, then again it's my first time installing an entire roof rack on any car.
Just a few things I'd want to mention on things I'd do if I had to install it again.
1. Test fit - I had a hard to trying to get the rear most bolts for the rear brackets on both sides.
2. Use a clear silicone sealant (I used 3M 5200 White that some others recommended), it was a mess and actually stained my side rails white where it touched.
3. Don't mount the cross bars over the roof top mounting brackets, the roof rack bolts won't fit underneath!

Here are a few pictures that I wanted to include for the spacing of the crossbars if you want to leave space for the sun roof, you would have to relocate the first bar completely if you don't want any cross bars being across your sunroof.

Hoping to get more pictures later on but the sun was setting and had a lot of sealant that still needed to be wiped.

Thanks again @prospeed !

What sealant did you use?

What sealant did you use?

I saw online 3m has a clear sealant. That’s what I’m going with and they sell it at most auto retailers.

 

[MotoLx]

What sealant did you use?

I found Permatex RTV clear silicone sealant at Autozone. Was VERY generous in application

 

[RacerXLC100]

Those looks awesome!!!

 

[prospeed]

Wow looks good! Yes, any good clear rtv silicone sealant would work... be generous it will save you the hassle of redoing it again... ask me how I know haha

 

[prospeed]

Update! More racks going out today! Hang tight!

I’ve had a few people say the same and I would love to do an 80 series if there was enough demand! Thanks!

Let's have some of them put some money down. What's the down payment? I'll give you one.

I finally installed my prospeed rack. The installation was straightforward forward. Looks good and compatible with most t slot accessories. Thanks brian!

Hello @prospeed

What T-Slot Nut do you suggest to use on your rack?
