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.

Yeah if you live in a wet climate I'd suggest doing that at some point.

I'm happy to hear that! It can be tricky so I wanted to show all the pitfalls.
I noticed you guys have a sunroof. Does yours tilt? If so, does the roof rack interfere with the tilt?

Looks great! What kind of loads can it handle vs. the stock rails. I didn't realize the stock rails were so flimsy!

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! :-)

Did you notice a change in your mpg on the rav4
Just installed this rack on my 2023 Rav4 and noticed the first crossbar is vibrating like crazy when above speeds of 55mph. Any suggestions to fix the vibration?

Michael had to lower the wind deflector down one notch because of that issue.

Any noticeable change in mpg after the rack install?

No. I don't believe so. There will be a little bit of additional wind noise.
Is it possible to achieve the install without removing the door seals?
@JasonExplainsThings

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.
What year is the Rav 4? I’m not sure if I missed you saying it in the video. I have a 2022 I’d like to put a rack on

Any leaks so far? And what type of paint did you use to prevent rust?
@JasonExplainsThings

No leaks. But Michael applied extra silicone. We used automotive touch up paint.

So far, no leaks! But yes, I used extra silicone just to be safe and added flex tape over the mounting bolts as an extra measure to keep water away.
NO THANKS. about to get a rav4 BUT i am NOT about to DRILL into it.

You just widen 2 existing holes, but to each their own. 👍
