How do you compress the upper aerodynamic rubber tube long enough to get accessory feet past the end of that rubber tube and into the channel? That effort is worthy of an entire video.
There is not a rubber strip that inserts in the bottom slot for the Malone roof rack. We have heard of people that will tape the bottom track so that it does not create so much wind noise. www.etrailer.com/Roof-Rack/Malone/MPG216.html
@@noahoe67 me either. The rubber is not pliable enough and it's awkward to try to install with the cross bars in place, which is what the directions show. Weird.

That is the capacity rating for both bars while moving. You will also need to check in the owners manual of your vehicle to see what your roof is rated to carry. www.etrailer.com/Roof-Rack/Malone/MPG215.html

There is a rubber strip that is supposed to fit in under the bars. I can’t for the life of me get them to go in.

What about the installation of the gasket underneath the bars?
You can see that procedure by checking out page # 3 of the linked installation instructions.

It is. The Malone # MPG215 AirFlow2 roof rack will work just fine with a rooftop tent.

is the 165 load capacity per bar or distributed between bars (82.5lbs/bar)?
That is the capacity rating for both bars while moving. You will also need to check in the owners manual of your vehicle to see what your roof is rated to carry.
