Luggage rack on the SVTC

[dragonstorm]

I have the 18' SVTC and purchased the luggage rack for the trunk lid and received it yesterday, since you have to drill holes to mount it I'm not seeing any type of rubber washer or grommet that would help seal the holes in the truck lid. I know it's a 2 layer set up but I'm sure if water gets in between the two it can still cause issues. I have yet to put it on but I was just wondering if anyone else has this accessory and what luck you have had with it?

If I remember correctly there were some rubber strips that went under the rack supports. I would have to look at mine to be sure.

After I finally unpacked the whole thing I did see the rubber strips on the bottom of the braces. Still . . . would have thought there would have been something to seal the screw hole itself too . . . but thanks for answering.

I installed mine per the instructions and have had no leaks. You could put a little dab of silicone there to help.

I haven't purchased the rack for my SVTC yet. But on my Goldwing (which was an inner and outer layers, I got rubber washers glued them together in stacks between the two layers to keep from compressing the outer/inner layers too much. I also would take my rack off unless I was going on long trips and needed it. I found flush mount plastic black plugs at Lowes to press into the holes when I didn't have the rack on
