I am building a substantial rack for our Hobie Mirage kayaks. The rear mounts are at the "body mount bolts" under the rear corners of the body. There are vertical uprights (1" heavy wall square tube) that pass near the front edge of the rear tail lights. Anybody know if this will interfere with the BSM system?
My rear mount attachments are 1/4" "cold roll" steel plates, shaped to exit between the rear fender end and the bumper wrap-around (plate exits through the gap with no vehicle frame contact). It is critical to NOT connect a rigid roof rack to the rear area of the frame and to the body-side mount bolts just ahead of the front doors. All the driveline and road noise would be transmitted into the body cowl and into the dash area....which would be bad!
Anyone that knows more about the sensors....please speak up.
Thanks, JimL
