alright, so i just took off the roof rack on the blazer and realized that there are the screw holes in the roof... will these leak through to the inside i couldnt really see... if so has anyone taken theres off and what did they do to solve the problem...right now i have tape covering the holes lol let me know thanx

Timey

 

yes they will leake i took my rack off I covered it up with body filler or somethen like that me and my dad put on their.I think he welded it or somethen dont remember.

 

can you find out if he welded it...if so how bc my dad welds too thanx

 

you could weld them up, which would be the best way if you know a very good welder..but then youd ahve to paint the truck...also, i would strongly recommend pulling the headliner or any other flammable material away from the roof when welding.it will get veryhot and melt/burn the cloth..

 

My dad just filled it up. Welding can be done also but i just covere my holes up with filler.

 

with the newest craze for the import racers of removing factory wings...some shops that sells import stuff sell "hole plugs"..they are very very cheap, and are easily painted to match the body color...they simply pop into place...and if you ever want to re-install your rack, they can be popped back out. i have included a picture of trhe plugs in a trunk lid....

hmm... that could be a thought i bought body filler today so i think im gunna go that route

 

you really should weld the holes up. the body filler will just crack. and filler isn't waterproof...it absorbs moisture so it will suck it in throught the crack and cause a leak and/or rust. just dont get the metal too hot when you weld them, or your roof will be warped as f**k[sm=massbounce.gif]

 

you dont like my plug idea either zero?

 

i guess its a quick way out, but im a picky *****. nothing personal, but i worked at a body shop for a few years and went to school to build street rods and kustoms so its been drilled into me to do it so it looks mint. but ifyou dont have access to the right equipment, then it'll work
