Roof-Rack Gaskets

Haven't seen any sources for these and I'd like to replace mine before the rain hits again. Any insights?

just a thought, I heard someone suggest tracing original mirror mount gaskets onto rubber inner tube scrap pieces and making their own gaskets. might work if repros aren't available. Steve

After finding out it was a dealer install I figured I'll be making some. I doubt I'll find any elsewhere. Thanks for the suggestion.

Re: Roof-Rack Gaskets

Just get some gasket material from the parts store and use a ball peen hammer and lightly tap out the outline from the foot of the rack. Pretty easy.
