    No factory holes on access cabs. I had to drill. Double cabs you are correct.

    Personally I'd let the vehicle come in and sell that roof rack if you don't like the looks. Removing it, taping the holes and adding the weather strips seems simple enough. As was indicated in the thread above, those holes already exist on every truck so it isn't a new problem.

    When I was considering the racks for my truck, I decided to go with the Yakima Whispbar Through Bar. Tons of other options on the market depending on your needs.
