I want to say I am sorry you are experiencing all these issues but I am so so Glad you are making these videos to educate all the guys who are thinking on building their rigs and avoid all the issues up front. thanks for being open with the issues. these will help so many of us. Luckily I have not modify my taco. It is still stock and I am waiting till I finish Paying if off to begging modding but I will do very minimal modifications and keep it as stock as possible, I am only thinking on adding the TRD lift kit and that is it so hopefully I will be OK. thank you
If you have any more leaks use butyl tape and 3M marine sealant 5200. Also if you can see the bolt heads. Use Dicor self leveling lap sealant. This is what I did on my Sprinter roof rack, Maxxair fan, and AC unit. I haven't had any issues in three years so far. Hope this helps
You would think Toyota would have drain rails built into those roof rack locations. Like they do with the sunroof, and the wiring is isolated, too. When everything goes down, the A-pillars. Water leaks can destroy a vehicle! I've personally had two vehicles, Lemon Lawed, for electronic failures for water leaks. Neither one was ever fixed! That's why I'll never own another Honda or Nissan. They paid me off to trade in the truck. So, I passed those problems to the bext owner. The funny thing is, these dealers keep that off carfaxes. But have a minor fender bender, and you're screwed. You lose thousands even if the accident isn't your fault.
Just installed victory 4x4 roof rack and camper rack. Made sure I pack a much rtv in the bolt hole and on thread and made some circles before setting down the rack. Now it's fine to find a 40" light bar
Reinforces the reason not to drill into your roof. Plenty of latch on products now days. A good silicone job for a leaky vagina/ taco. Did you also have to finance the silicone? 🤣
I'm not sure I understand your comment. Toyota pre drills the holes in every Tacoma to utilize their factory rack. A clamp on rack is great for the fellas who only take their rigs to Starbucks. But for someone like me who mounts hundreds of pounds on mine and off-roads not so much.
Great comment about the financing of silicone😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 i financed silicone once......... It was for your mom......... Tell your dad he's welcome and i said thanks for letting me hit that .
My 07 FJ cruiser has a similar issue. It only happens during heavy rain. I ordered a GOBI rack and will fix it when that rack arrives

Damn this sucks, I've been running a roof rack for about 3 years and I've been lucky with no leak issues

You should use a proper thread sealer on your through hole bolts such as "Leak Lock". This will permanently prevent this issue.
That’s the whole reason I’m not adding a roof rack to my access cab because I have to drill the roof to mount it
It happen the same to me 😅 was raining in my truck but now it fix 🥹

You need to use RTV sealant.👍🏻 thanks for sharing
Yup yup that's what I got
the silicone will just rip away when you undo the bolts. you gone be ALRIGHT

Yes it's been raining a lot the past few days it seems to be holding up!
I installed prisu pro roof rack on my tacoma and instructions said put silicon inside.
Great video as always ❤
Rubber washers??
Modern Day Viking? UA-camrs are now considered roving warriors?
Just a name bud. It's really not that deep.
