Roof rack clamp question- looking for feedback

Anyone run the roof racks that use clamps inside the door sil?

did anyOne have paint damage or corrosion from grim getting trapped inside?

Any water leakage issues due to the clamps going under the rubber door seal?

I installed these with some vinyl padding underneath to protect my paint....

anyone with experience with these style please post

thanks

 

There's a thread somewhere, dude had leakage. Apparently those are supposed to be used only temporarily, not left on the vehicle. At least that's what I gathered.

 

I have had these before. No issues. The doors rubber seal creates a barrier as it forms around the plastic. I did have a grime silouhette when I took it off. But used some goo gone and paint looked good as new.

 

Had one for a little while (2nd Gen). I noticed water got inside the door jamb on the top where the clamps are located. I also noticed some minor marring, but I was able to fix with some rubbing compound. I ditched it (pun intended ) and went with a Rhino Rack ditch channel rack system. Much more robust and adjustable.

All good info appreciate it the advice .. if anyone else has info and experience please post

 

I have the Yakima version on my truck. No problems to note. Generally it is on all summer and off in the winter.

 

Anyone used the Caliraosed version and have a sunroof end up with any problems and how do you like it?

 

Some guys I been hearing have damage and some don’t? Anyone else have issues with damage or water

 

I ran them on a older car a few years back. Never had any water leaks, but the car had gutters on the roof so no water drained down anyways. But they did eventually wear down the clear coat a bit and left square marks where the clamp pads were.
