Prinsu

Anyone with a prinsu rack?? Let me know the best sealant/caulk for mounting the Prinsu rack to the top of my truck! Going to be doing that this weekend.

 

I used bolts. They came with the rack and attach it to the factory mounting points.

 

Yeah I’m gonna use bolts too but I’ve seen where guys will put a sealant in the factory holes then mount it on top of that to help with moisture

 

Flexible kitchen and bath caulk. 6+ years no issues

 

Oh, for that you want just regular silicone sealant. You can pick one of several from Home Depot/Lowe’s.

 

100 percent silicone

 

I used flexible clear stuff. Probably overkilled it. ha. A lil Hershey kiss size will do the job.

 

Awesome. Good looking truck man!! I got some 100% silicone for bath & kitchen. 30 min water ready, 10 year mold free protection and 100% waterproof. Should work!

 

Is that the standard cap rack?

 

I used clear marine grade works fine

 

Yes. It's the standard

 

It's like $3 a tube at Lowes, walmart, etc. Dont be stingy with it, but 1 tube could reasonably get a full rack install done. Buy 2 just to be sure. Held up on a few trucks I helped do the install for for several years now, no complaints or wet seat belts.

 

Exactly what i used for mine. Used liberally, no issues.

 

3M Marine Grade silicone.

 

I saw in another thread to apply anti-seize on the bolts, as you're putting it together. Some have said their bolts have seized on them. I saw it too late, and am slowly going through and doing it, and it's awkward when all installed and mounted.
