PrInSu Design Studio Roof Racks BS Thread

The wiring fits perfect in the channels for the weather stripping on the windshield

 

Didn't think of that, but that makes total sense. Thanks!

 

Can someone strap a canoe right to the prinsu or are yakima bars also needed ?

 

I'm actually going to watch for an answer to this as we just ordered a new canoe ourselves.

 

You can strap a canoe to the rack with no problem at all. On the other hand, I do utilize Yakima bars for extra width so I can strap 2 of them side by side.

 

I flipping love this rack thanks Zach!!!

 

Hey dude i ordered that noise reduction trim from your website about a month ago. Any idea when that will ship out? EDIT - package just arrived.

 

I am looking to order the cabrac in the next couple of days, but I am a little confused on the install instructions. Is there two options either to cut out or punch through like you did? I like your set up and look the best so far that I've seen.

 

Do the punch.

I got in a hurry and a couple of my holes were off .03-.1", but the rubber or whatever it is seems to have conformed to my holes over the past few weeks.

 

I understand the directions, but the weather stripping part. Either cutting it or using a 3/4 bit and drilling the hole for the spacer. Can anyone clear this up for me a little and explain a little more in depth? I'm sure it's simple, but I'm clueless

 

Zach, I've pm'ed you and emailed you. I'm trying to find out about my order.

 

Get the punch kit identified at the bottom of this page from Amazon (see below "products discussed in this thread"). Grab a piece of plywood and a good hammer. Use 3/4 punch and hammer to punch the holes through the weather stripping in the appropriate locations. There are plenty of places in here on an the "to-do" thread that show you how to measure for the right places to punch. I wouldn't bother with cutting or using a drill bit. The bit will likely get caught and be a pain, and the punch is too easy and clean to bother with cutting IMO.

 

Thanks man

 

How did everyone else mount their single row light bar with a wind deflector? Mine came with these only

 

Sent our another email, the communications with Zach get ridiculous at times. No word for over almost a month on the rack I ordered on the GB in February. I need the rack by June 15th. Ordering in February was more than enough time even with the Paypal fuck up.

 

I wanna put lights on mine some day...

 

workin on mine as we speak..

 

nice, i'd keep it a solid one piece that the cross bar slides through. Then add the through holes for the bolts to provide the clamping force via T-Nuts.

 

that's a great idea! unfortunately, how it will be sitting, I wont be able to get the cross bar and lightbar in there as one piece.

 

My brain might be fried all ready for the day... I think i should have said a one piece design instead of solid. i interpreted your design being two pieces. it looks like it would be bolted together from the two screws in the back. one piece design would add an additional small amount of security.

I would assume you can remove the crossbar and wind reflector (for accessibility). Loosely bolt the light bar to the mounts, slide the crossbar through the mounts, add T-Nuts and reattach the crossbar. Make your final adjustments as necessary with the wind reflector attached.

I like where you are headed with this either way.
