They should not leak any more then the bolts that are already in the roof from the stock roof rack. I removed the rack because I got thule bars.
You could also use a rubber washer or some silicone if you are the type of person who doesn't leave anything to chance.

made some tube doors out of 1x2 square tube with the wife used some spare stock door mounts so it all bolts up and a fence gate latch. also bolts on the mounting point has a washer causeing to have presure on the latch which means no rattle. i like the top flat part going to add some padding for a arm rest and a mirror on the drivers side. wife thinks I should add some mess to make it look cool.

Hood Vents
I sent away for a set of the hood vents Gary Briggs made. I will attest to the quality of these vents, they are very well made. I can't wait to get them installed. It may be a few weeks though. Thanks Gary!

They actually work, to a drive with the wife up into the Sierra Nevada's today. I always seem to run hot up there on those windy roads driving slow. Ran much cooler, also the hood itself is much cooler after a long drive you can actually put your hand on it without burning yourself now!

Glad you like them, I'll have to make some more. Finally got around to installing mine a few days ago.
