Understatement to say I'm pissed AF, as I followed the supplied directions from Eazi-awn & Equipt (USA importer). Just looked at them right now to confirm for the 5th time. THERE is NO mention of using sealant AT ALL.
I would have never known except for the poster above who said Equipt used his rig for a youtube install video.
Pulling rack tomorrow and the will see what I can do about the pulling the headliner.
Can only imagine as Oregon is rainy AF for half the year and this has been on for 3 years. Can you say Negligence - the airbags are below the rear mounts wonder what water does to those. What a FKin crock of shit.

Sorry to hear about that and glad you checked. If nothing else, at least this thread brought up a good conversation for those running aftermarket roof racks. Better to assess the damage now than when its too late.
My experience was similar to yours, had one big down pour and felt water running down my seat belt and that's even with using silicone. Fortunately only one of my seat belts had the leak. My guess is that it must never rain in South Africa and thus they don't suggest adding silicone during the install.
