On the roof rack; 1) I assume some cutting is involved and 2) are those exposed cut out areas sealed from water in some fashion?
The rack looks very well integrated.

2) Per their instructions a little bit of sealant is used at the bolt hole locations. Water gets under those finishers regardless based on the design, so it seams the only concern is ingress at the bolt holes.

What’s better:
Whats Worse:
Can’t use your sunroof
I’ve installed racks from Safety Devices, Voyager, Front Runner, OEM most LR models, and Prospeed. Then I have been able to service those cars during the ownership period. If racks were tools, this is the Snapon of racks. Minor chamfers and subtle engineering details make these racks stand out and they age gracefully compared to those listed.
- Aero front for seamless look and reduced wind noise
- Aerospace aluminium
- Precision machined
- Micron accurate joint system,
- Multiple mounting options for large range of accessories
- Extremely low profile
- Multi-storey car park friendly
- Stainless steel mounting feet and hardware
- Lightweight but very sturdy
- Completely modular - upgrade or even swap to a different vehicle
- Lifetime guarantee

It's great to see aftermarket parts for the D5 though. There aren't nearly enough options out there.
