Hey JimA

        Thanks a bunch for that,,, Will probably go that route if current “fix”

doesn’t last ~ I tried to do KarlM’s “Sit on it” fix but nothing moved so I

decided that while I had the Lug’Rack screws loose I should lift the front

edge as far as possible & do a bit of cleaning under there,,, There was a

bit of junk underneath but not as much as I expected, but while I had it

lifted I placed a 16in strip of double sided Carpet Tape across the center

of the roof where it & Lug’Rack make contact,,, Seems quite solid for now

but will need to do a good long 82mph highway test run to know for sure ~

                                                                ORR ~ DeanB
