I got up on a ladder this past weekend to inspect the roof of my van. I discovered to my surprise that there used to be a rack installed and no one plugged the holes after it was removed. This is a 2018 Ford Transit with factory threaded mounting holes.
I talked to one outfitter that suggested using a bolt, washer, and butyl tape. The place I purchased the van said he'd send me "plugs", but no idea what I could expect in the mail... and really don't want to wait to find out. I'll bet an envelope full of press-fit ("Christmas tree") plugs arrive if I go that route.
What's the best way to seal these while keeping the ability to mount a rack in the future? Does Butyl tape remove and clean up easily?
Thanks..
