This is what was under the luggage rack when I took it off. Gah.
25 years of mud, leaves, dead bugs and bird crap. Once again, this should have been a fairly easy job, but the bolts holding on the luggage rack were so rusted that I just couldn't unscrew them from the top. So I had to remove the inner roof panel (which was kind of a gigantic pain in the ass) and hope that the brackets inside were still intact enough to be re-used since I couldn't find replacements for them anywhere. Then I drilled out the rivets on the old tie-down hardware and replaced it, scrubbed the whole thing down with Brillo pads, put on the new rubber seal, and...
Shiny new tie-down cleats. On the left, you can also see the new skylight I put in earlier. Did I mention I put in a new skylight? Because I put in a new skylight. The old one was cracked.
Brand new rubber seals, front, and... back.
