Interesting recommendation on the silicone... this is the only install video recommending it. Curious why? I think Sherpa recommends blue loctite on the threads for those bolts only.
@@sherpaec Should they have removed that old silicone? It doesn't look like the rubber spacer will be water tight with the way they installed it here.
@@sherpaec Thanks for the reply. Cleaning up that area makes sense to me. BTW, I recently ordered this roof rack from you guys. Can't wait to install it!
sherpa says not to use silicone how come you say to use it ?
Won’t interfere when you have a rear ladder installed (specifically gobi rear ladder)?
nope!
You guys do good work. Those Method 701s, are those the 17×9 -12 or the 17×8.5 0 offest? Thanks.
-12!
What front bumper is this one

We do not recommend using silicone or any sealant. We also do not recommend Loctite on any bolts other than the bolts directly mounted into the roof.

@@oscarm7619 The old Silicone was from the previous roof rack, we use it just to be safe but its a personal preference!
@@oscarm7619 ideally it's a nice clean surface for the rubber to sit on. Removing old grim, silicone from previous racks, etc is best practice.
