What bolts to use putting a roofrack on

[Acesneights1]

Anybody know what to use, I got a factory roofrack from the junky for my 98 Burb but my Burb does not have the threaded holes for it and I feel sheet metal screws will not be sufficient. Anybody direct me to how and what I need to get the factory threaded holes in this thing ?

Nutserts is what you will be looking for Kenny. You need to find ones that are stainless steel since they will be outside. Check fleabay or a place like Fastenal, you should be able to pick them up there.

Or a riv-nut kit. Those things are sweet.
