What is the consensus on sealant for roof racks?

oh nice, I was looking at the LFD cross bars. was going to pickup a couple of them in stainless

Got the rack all mounted up yesterday. piece of cake really. i opted to mount the side rails, then the cross bars just so i didnt have to lug to entire unit up by myself. Took probably 3 hours including messing up the cross bar spacing and having to re-bolt them all down hahaha.

It is raining a little bit today also. So i guess we will see how well i sealed the holes in the roof. that 3M stuff i got did feel/look really nice. And i did apply a good amount around the holes, and also in the rain channel that the block LFD provided sits in.

Oh, and i didnt even have to use those bonded washers. my factory bolts had a nice thick rubber gasket around the bolt head, so just re-used those.
 
Full length FR, 4 new holes drilled. I used silicone liberally on holes and bolts, and a 1/8” 3m tape on the feet. I live in the PNW. So far so good
