Step 2You won't dent your roof
Put the fittings toward the edge and it will prevent denting your roof.
Do not glue anything until you have the base finished with all of fittings you will need.
Then you can stretch it to the contour of your roof after it has dried.
Once stretched to contour your car you can measure from each fitting to set the height of
the rack. Make it to your specification at this point.
Most important, leave the middle of the roof out of it, so it doesn't dent under load.
Pay close attention to these two "T" connectors. This was the best idea for doing this
project of all. By gluing them at less than a 90 degree angle to eachother when it's dry,
will bend the pipe that goes across the car on the bottom of the rack over your roof,
and not push it in.
