    This is a good but slightly unsettling reminder I forgot to paint when I did rivnuts on my bed (for rack). It's probably okay but I should drill them out and reinstall this summer.

    Prinsu says the weight limit is 400 lbs while moving, 800 lbs static (2 people sleeping in a roof tent for example). So... more than enough for any reasonable use! :-)

    No, but that part isn't bad. They aren't glued in place. But... putting the interior parts back on (especially the A-Pillar trim that covers an air bag) are a little tricky.
