Installed my new feet today. Only had the old ones on for about 3 months and only have one one camping trip with about 150 pounds of gear on top. Like the previous poster, my paint under the old feet was scuffed, but no dents/divots (thankfully).

Thanks to Bajarack for being responsive to this problem and coming up with a fix and sending out the replacements quickly. The new B-pillar mounts sit a little higher so the windscreen doesn't directly contact the roof during installation.

Has anyone done the swap without completely removing the rack? I really don't want to have to do that. I was hoping I could just swap one foot at a time.

Do you have a spare $40k I can borrow?

Sorry. It's already being used by people who need it to live apparently.

Got the brackets and rack off tonight plan on installing the new ones tomorrow. Not as much damage as I thought but three of the four hard mount feet caused small wrinkling on the outside edge of the roof. Which blows

I think you just made @Toffees point.

Advisory: Baja Racks

Pulling off the old silicon was a pain in the butt, but the new feet are mounted with out much issue. I did fully remove the rack to be able to look the roof over completely. Like I said earlier some damage but not nearly as bad as I thought.

Can't believe Baja isn't doing more for those that have a rack from them and can prove damage....unbelievable.

It would not be appropriate to discuss damage compensation on a public forum. I wouldn't assume that because you aren't reading it here that its not happening. ;)

my roof is dented, as well. all 4 corners. when i was installing the rack, i was really, really confused as to what was supposed to support the feet from the underside. i'm not an engineer, though, so i didn't bring it up. i'm sort of wondering if this is why is had such a hell of a time with leaking...i've got so much sealant under the bracket.

So has anyone tried to seek compensation for the dented roof? My roof is dented and a new set of feet is a totally unsatisfactory remedy to the issue.
