NEW Roof Rack "Voyager"
#63
I just got my rack and installed it. Tried a soldering iron on one of the torx bolt for 20 min, didn't really get the bolt hot. What it did do is tip over when I wasn't looking and burn my paint on the roof! After that I just prayed and went at it with the impact wrench and they all came out fine.
Also agree with poster above, the rack sits a bit higher than I thought it would (based on looking at pictures online). Probably splitting hairs but i feel mines maybe .5-1" higher. I wonder if the posts they sit on are taller now on the more recent releases or if it was just the angle of all the other pictures. I feel like the posts of the "lower" ones look as if they are closer to the height of the rail.

How did you get the 3 piece fairing?

Paint is sort of a gloss orange peel. There’s no need to use thread locker on the bolts that hold the rack on the posts since they have locking washers. Use a little blue if you want, but not needed. I did put blue back on the bolts into the roof for sealing against moisture.
