Re: Roof Rack!
Aww geese.... Then you really' don't want to know what I am going to
say next.... Silicone out gasses a gas that turns into acid in contact with water/humidity. This acid will eat the body metal totally away. The number of windshield frames I have seen totally rotted through from that is amazing. Normally one would use a butyl sealant for body metal or stuff they call 'seam sealer'.
