    Hey I have a question, I have an ‘06 mercury mountaineer with the rails up top similar to yours. Do I need a rack like that one to install a rooftop pop up tent or will my rails support the tent platform? Thanks!!

  • @meggs1964

    I would think you would need something similar to this. I’m thinking the rails you currently have will have too much space between them to support the tent platform.

    I would take it back apart and fill the tubes with expanding foam if I were you. If you don’t; when it rains it will rust on the inside of the metal frame and the rust water will leak all over the roof. Head my warning
