Factory roof weight rating on 4th gens?

[Iron Chef]

I suggest you to get RTT alluminium crossbars instead of a roof rack.

Interested! Do you have a link?

So I feel really dumb, but I wasn't thinking and got on the roof of my 4Runner last weekend loading a canopy on the roof for a tailgate. I'm not real tall, and I only had rope, so I just climbed on the roof to help tie it down securely.

But now, as this thread makes obvious, my roof crumpled a bit under my weight. I thought it was merely visual until I tried to open the sunroof all the way today and it got stuck. Managed to get it closed by wedging a small narrow crowbar I've got in the opening between the roof and sunroof, but it still won't open all the way.

I'm thinking of buying one of those pop-a-lock air wedges or something similar, but figured I'd ask if anyone else has any experience with this beforehand.

Figured out months ago the air wedge trick didn't work, but never got around to taking it to a shop. Also tried plungers and similar tricks without success. But recently a coworker happened to have one of those suction dent pullers laying around, let me borrow it, and after a couple attempts, pulled it right out.

I recently saw that Sherpa is offering the mounting feet and load bars

Universal Roof Rack Load Bars | Sherpa Equipment Co.

Still remove the OEM rack but much lighter weight than the full roof rack.
