<VV> Roof rack installation

[KMFEAR at aol.com]

They used nuts that were mounted in rubber grommet, large. There was a set  
on EBAY forever now I cant find them. You drilled a large hole in the roof, 
 inserted the rubber grommet with a nut in it and when tightened it  
compressed the rubber to make it larger and seal .

Instructions call for a sealing nut. 1/4-20 x 7/8 screw goes into  it.

I don't know what was used originally, but I  have mounted many mirrors,  
etc. with well nuts.

Google will give you  many results.

the  
gasket?
