Title: Re: Pickup Bed Rack/Canoe Transportation Post by solotripper on Jun 5th, 2025 at 10:57am
Before I retired I worked building sun roofs for a company that supplies all the Big 3 plus all the major foreign brands.
The sunroof frames even those huge sunroofs are designed to replace the structural strength when you cut out the steel roof. 99% of the leaking issues are related to the rubber seals, the rest in some mfg defect that wasn't caught. I wouldn't worry about a roof mounted rack system. Your talking about around #100 plus pounds spread over 4 contact points on the outer edge of roof which is the strongest part. You didn't mention if your pick-up has side rails? Just make sure you get a rack made for rails or no rails. This is a top of the line rack but you get the idea.
