    I was installing the Pro roof rack today and noticed the fiber washers the screw kit comes with (on the left in the pic) verses the thick rubber washers (on the right) on the factory rack. I'm a bit paranoid about water leakage. Any or you used the thick rubber washers instead? I would think the thick rubber washers have a better seal verses the thin fiber ones?

    Many with many more to go
    The fiber units wont compress as much as that rubber AND the rubber is prone to dry rot, which could cause leaking. Fiber won't.
