Roof rack weight limitations (1 Viewer)

[uHu]

Let me know what else you need to see and I would be happy to get a better picture. I use 1/4" thick black UHMW between the bracket and roof surface. The end of the extrusion are just capped with 1/8 black UHMW using silicone caulk.

I use 1.125" just to make it compatible with all Yakima acessories.

Nicest rack ever seen, Augie.

How did you do the cross bars? and the corners?
And how is that front done? Looks like it's attached to the roof??
What about wind noise?
More pix?

Sorry about all the Qs, but this rack looks really good, in several ways.

The aluminum extrusion got 2 slots inside and the 1.125" DOM cross bar have 1/8" steel plate welded on both end. The corner are just a piece of black plastic glued with silicone. The front fairing are standard 42" Yakima fairing that attached to the cross bar. Its not attached to the roof.

The wind noise from the front are barely noticeable but if you get some side wind they are a bit noisy. The extrusion got slots on top and bottom, so it might be contributing to the noise.
