Howdy, today I’m going to show you the best and cheapest way to seal or waterproof your roof rack bolts to prevent and water leaks during rain. During this process I’ll also be cleaning off the roof grime that the previous owner let build up.
Most after market roof racks won’t take this into consideration so it’s important to check to ensure you don’t mess up any internal electrical devices.

Materials used:

Socket wrench - $10 52 pc set at Walmart - make sure the kit you get has sizes, 10mm, 11mm, 12mm. Some kits skip some of these.

Permalex Silicon - Black Adhesive Sealant

Basic brush - just needs to be standard bristles, you don’t want to damage your outer coat

Simple green - make sure you get the all-purpose cleaner and not the concentrate
