Not much weather proofing from the factory.

There were one elongated hole up front on each side with about the size of a quarter(one bolt from the rack), another one mid-section of the same size(one bolt from the rack), and bigger hole at the rear with two bolts.
The front ones just use weather strip. Nothing special as the rack is pulled down to the roof from the bolts. I am really surprised the rear two don't leak over time. There is weather stripping around the rack as in the front but there is a separate two foot piece that is just setting there with stripping the whole length. So there are two vapor barriers for the rear. If you could stick your finger in there you could easily move the lower one but it is tight but not tight enough that a piece of ice or tree twig could not cause havoc. Near the holes the stripping is about 1/4 less.
Thanks,
Norm
