We'll be getting in touch with you to arrange the shipping, no worry

Has anyone figured out some kind of mod to get it closer to the roof line?

Which rack did you get?Which rack did you get?
7/8 aluminum rack

LFD Rack owners (I have a 7/8ths)

What have you guys used as sealant/silicone for the factory bolt holes? I thought I sealed mine pretty well but 3 days of hard rain proved otherwise.

Forecast shows another 3-4 days of rain coming so I'm trying to get this taken care of before it hits.

For reference, I used Permatex Ultra RTV Grey.

We just use what is basically an industrial version of household bathroom caulk ourselves.

The three leaks I've seen have used the RTV gasket maker type caulk. Each one I saw in person or in photos had some obvious gaps in the caulk, but the RVT I saw also seems to dry pretty hard, so I'm wondering if that can also help contribute to the leak versus a caulk that still has some play in it when dry.

Should be some gap, maybe a half inch to an inch or so? We have to leave some gap so that the rack is compatible with sunroof models still, you need a gap so that if the roof is vented it won't touch the faring.

yeah I have somewhere between 1/2 - 3/4.
I get that these are made to work with multiple styles of vehicle and to limit skus.
I just feel it would work better if it could sit closer.
I'm wondering if it creates on updraft on snowboards or boxes.
On a trip to the Mtn it was fine in areas that it wasn't windy but definitely noticeable when there was wind.
That's why I was asking about a modification? Wondering if I took something like a yakima fairing and attached it to the LFD fairing if that would work out.

I ordered the 3/4 rack on Black Friday and can't wait for it to come so I can ditch those factory silver rails. My garage isn't heated so I've been trying to figure out what kind of sealant I should go with when reinstalling the factory bolts. Silaprene sounds like a great long term sealant but I'm wondering how well it would work when applied in a freezing garage. Are there any good recommendations for cold weather application or am I putting too much thought into this?

If I recall correctly, I used the Blue RTV when installing my full length. I have not had any issues to date. It's probably been on for 2-3 months or so. I would think the grey should be fine if you didn't have any gaps in your bead.

Its definitely possible. I didnt put any silicone on the threads of inside the white bolt holes so that could definitely be an issue.

I think I'm going to try bathroom caulking when I reseal it since that is what was recommended above.

I had heard that was all you needed. I just ended up buying the other because I saw it in an install video.

This is the one I’m leaning towards for my 2020 Pro. Don’t really care for the factory roof rack. But I’m also concerned about messing with changing it out and you might have some leaks. Also the bolts that are in the 2020 Pro roof rack I read where there longer and that’s not a good. Because I think the bolts on the roof rails are different than the bolts on the 2020 Pro roof rack. Also did you get a discount on Black Friday? Thanks.

Right now I'm just trying to figure out if I should be using any kind of silicone when my garage is cold or if I should do the swap in a heated garage. I've watched a few roof rack install videos and it looks pretty straightforward. LFD was running a 15 percent off sale on Black Friday. If you were leaning towards their rack, I would maybe try to contact them and ask them if there would be any issues installing their rack on your 2020.

the tube should have instructions on it, just check what temperature range it says
