Hey guys - I bought a set of second hand roof rails off ebay. The full length ones. I bought a set of the new bolts and washers from LR though. However the rails did not come with all of the plastic plugs to cover the bolt holes once secured. Would there be any risk from not having these? I'm thinking water intrusion but with everything bolted down, that really shouldn't be an issue should it? I would assume water would only be getting inside the rail itself, and then draining out somewhere else.
Additionally, there are a few places along the length of the rail where it's not absolutely snug down inside the channel but the bolts are fully tightened. I'm not talking huge gaps, just millimeters. Should I tap those particular bolt holes a bit more to get a little more depth from the bolts or is it nothing to worry about?
