68Datsun510 Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Ok folks, made a custom spoiler for my Yakima bars, question, does the spoiler have to actually touch the roof? Or can it rest within an inch of the roof surface?? And is it ok on the channel with no boots?? Oics: Quote Link to comment
philcas1987 Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Touches roof with foam pads. In the gutter feet I'd use that plastic dip coating Quote Link to comment

mrbigtanker Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 im putting a set of thule cross bars on my 521 for looks.but that clear plastic dont look good in my opinion and i think it acts as a air deflector which is why you would want angle and for it to touch the roof.
