Good content. The clamp on style isn’t for me, but you had lots of good details in there for us. Love to see a follow up video once the rack is removed for paint condition.
99% of pickup roofs were NOT made to support of roof rack or have holes drilled into it. It is unsafe, weakens the roof and sets you up for problems. The strut style like this are the ONLY intelligent answer. Great video
That’s a great question and I’m not sure. When you open the sunroof does it open into the roof or on top? The roof rack is about 1.5” from the top of the roof. I’m not sure how the sunroofs operate.
That’s pretty helpful. Taking measurements, in vent orientation the glass sits about .875 above the roof and when fully opened sits 1.375 so danger close.
So for anyone wondering, I went on a limb and ordered the rack. While you can use your sunroof in vent orientation, it will not work with the roof fully open without some modification :( @@WaterFowler41
my concern with a temporary roof rack is scratching the paint if the rack slides under weight or natural loosening due to long term use and road vibrations (on and off road)
I don't know the weight capacity but since this is a clamp style and not a direct bolt in, I wouldn't advise a RTT. Those are better suited for a purpose built bed rack.
