It is a little taller then intended but it doesn't bother me a bit

Could you give us a pic up close of those mounts about to mount my rack this weekend and was curious about this tactic. Been looking at taking the cross rails off and running ubolts up through the factory rails but I really don't like that solution. Yours is maybe what I am looking for
