In Response To: Duct Tape, John, is your solution (Robert N Pruden)

: Hi, John...I created a flap of duct tape while the rack was on the Toyota. I
: used two pieces of tape about one quarter inch longer per side as the
: clasp was wide. I created a T-shaped flap and stuck it over the area where
: the clasp interferes with the weather seal. It worked very well. I did
: indeed have the same problem as you have described. I will post an image
: of the flap this weekend. I don't have time to do it any sooner as I am
: doing reno work for a friend who needs my $$$-less help during the week.

: Robert N Pruden

No hurry on the picture Robert. I'll give the duck tape flap a try this coming spring. I did try rubber foam tape but that didn't work for me. If I ever buy a new car I will go to a factory made rack.

Thanks,
John
