Roof rack mounting

Recommended Posts

This question is for anyone out there that has mounted a roof rack to the NV's rack mounting location.

What did you do to prevent paint damage and possible rust when bolting the rack onto the roof mounts, and also paint damage from the square nuts when been tightened to prevent them from gouging the paint?

 

Thank you.

I did nothing to the nuts.  My brackets had a thin sheet of rubber you placed under the bottom.  Topper galvanized steel rack.

 

You can always buy a sheet of rubber to do the same.  You'll want it very thin so you dont just crack it when tightening down.  

 

For the nuts you can get rubber or hard plastic washers at most hardware stores.  They would need to be thin as well, there is very little room to get the nut on under those mounts.
