Re: Roof Rack Bolts
I don't know what rack you have, but as a start the bolts will need to be a M8 x 20mm - 25mm or maybe longer. It will depend on the roof rack fixing point material thickness to the length of the bolt required for a secure fixing. Also it would be a good idea to try and put a wide flat face rubber washer between the roof fixing bolt hole and the underside of the rack so as not to cause paint damage to the roof, this could also act as a seal.
