    Hi, do you have a picture of how your RCI roof rack looks on your truck? I’m in between the CBI and RCI roof rack.

    Many thanks

    Still leak free? Where did you actually use the silicone (and what brand?) with the blocks? Did you put silicone under the whole block or lay the block down and fill the block's holes the put the screws through the holes/silicone?

    No money, all went to truck...
    this. butyl tape or goo will last much longer than silicone. Or so I think... When I installed my Thule racks in factory holes, I used both. Gooed then taped then bolt. Probably over kill but water is a bastard.

    Still leak free after many Arizona monsoons. I don't recall the brand, sorry. I put the silicone in the threaded holes, not between the cab and rubber blocks.
