I am potentially interested in installing a Rhinorack backbone system on my new ‘22 392. However, I attempted to install one of these systems on my old JLUR and ran into a problem with the brackets not locking down appropriately - at least it seemed that way to me.
I wanted to find out if anyone else had these issues during install? Video is attached.
Basically, the problem was that the bolts didn’t cinch the bracket down to the hardtop enough, so I was able to move the bracket by about 1/8” or so. As the bolts are shoulder bolts, they also wouldn’t tighten down anymore than they were at the time. This occurred on all of the brackets as can be seen in the videos.
Obviously, I’m nervous about drilling into my new (painted) hardtop and then having to replace it if it happens again. I asked RR about it at the time, but they weren’t any help.
