I think I have a better idea now thanks. Pretty sure they're a smaller landscaping spike. I have an interesting idea cooking for this that should work but I have to check a couple of things first.Originally Posted by 4x4mike
I have no idea what sized nails I used. They are from Home Depot and in a bin where you buy them individually rather than in a box. These pictures will give you an idea of size. They are thick enough I don't get any deflection. The smaller nails on my cargo rack would bend if I really cranked down on them as they are smaller nails.
FWIW I have less clearance between the bottom of the rack and my roof and it's quiet. I did notice when I put the front piece on my rack I hear the wind going through that section when the sunroof is propped open. Nothing from the back section and nothing touches when the rack is loaded up.
Will have some progress soon I hope. Haven't had time to really do much except get home, shower, play with the kiddo, and sleep.
