    I bought my 13' Taco used with its roof ravk so I have no idea how it goes on.
    I added the XM adapter to play through the stock head unit, anf ran the wire out the back of the truck and have the antenna undrr the bed rails, as I read many people saying how good of signal they get there. I think it sucks. It cuts in and out way more than any other vehicle I have had with XM (4).
    What I am wondering is are there any holes going through the roof to the headliner that I can run the wire to and have the antenna om my roof? I have read several threads of people getting the roof rack installed then having leaking problems, so there must be some form of holes.
    I like to hide all wires if possible, but I need a better signal than I have now.

    Are those filled by screws for the mounting of the roof rack?
