One problem I see is that the sealant added on the roof rain gutters will impede water from draining. The gutter is narrow and the sealant and hardware added to install the roof rack will cause stagnant water. This eventually lead to premature rust.
I think a better way to seal unused holes would be to get an allen head bolt, nut and washers. Then put a little bit of sealant around the hole, place your washer and bolt and tighten it down, then wipe any excess that squeezes out after tightening. Would look a lot cleaner, cus personally to me, that much sealant looks like dog shit.
This looks like what you're saying makes total sense and can't believe the makers of this video haven't responded since they're the makers of the roof rack. I'm kind of hesitant to buying the roof rack now. Looks like a good roof rack but this is the people that are putting together the videos. Then you now makes me question that quality of the roof rack
@@spiderroofrack so there isn't a part 2? Why have part one in name then? Why not then have a quick extra 10 second showing it getting lifting on and bolted down? To me this video is as incomplete as the title implies
I found this while trying to figure out how to repair my leaky roof rack. Thank you!

Great product! Thanks for the video!
Can’t wait for part 2.
Next time use a Christmas tree with sealant and you’re good to good!
Thanks for This! Eta on Part 2?

Yes we do this for other cars as well.
Can you do a how to installation for 2020 forester
Please check out instagram page and check the instagram TV section. There’s lots of videos there you can we. All Subaru install is the small.
Dose this change the amount of weight that the roof can support?
Actually this help with weight. You can add more with our rack.
When's part 2 coming?
Part 2 is assembled the rack and put everything back together.

@@rodgergraham357 Exactly. Why make the video if you're not gonna show the install and finished product.

Yes it works on all Subaru or most car with factory roof rails.
