Re: Yakima 4 Bike and BAKFlip

Bill,

Thanks for the pics, this is what I want to do too. I have a few questions that I figured I'd post here since others might have the same questions.

1) You drilled next to the clip hole at least one plush nut. Was there no way to move the track maybe an inch forward/back and drill all the holes not next to a clip? (Then the track wouldn't be on the inside edge of the bed rail, although it looks like you slightly angled it so that the back part is not on the inside edge)
2) This should be the first question. Did you try removing the side panels to see if you can get a bolt underneath the bed rail? I've never removed them, so I have no idea.
3) The instructions say to seal the holes with enamel base paint. Is that Honda touch-up paint, or something else you bought?
4) Any specific silicone sealant you used?
5) Did you drill and install every hole, or only some of them?

Edit: One more question:
6) The tracks are made to be flush-mounted on the roof of a vehicle on the plush nuts. But in this installation, you're adding the bed rails in between the tracks and the nuts. Did you have to get longer screws? Is the stability good?
Thanks!
