Hey all! Looking for advice.
I have an '89 high top E150 conversion van -- there's roughly a foot between the rain gutters and the highest point of the van's top. Given the shape of the hightop, it didn't seem feasible to attach traditional roof rack systems, so I ordered Thule's artificial gutter system to go along with a standard Thule rack.
Does anyone have experience installing these in a high top? The instructions are very basic and it seems simple enough, though drilling into the van has me worried. The interior of the van is carpeted with lighting along the top (a "Starcraft" club wagon model), so I imagine I'll need to take that apart to secure the artificial gutters.
Any tips? Ways to ensure water doesn't get in?
Thanks!
