I bought some Rhino roof rack rails to install on my 2001 Eagle. They come with gaskets and rivets to use for installation. The racks have pre-drilled holes that do not line up with the screws on the camper roof. I'm thinking the best method might be to remove all the screws on the camper in the area where the rails are going then install the new racks using the rivets. I have a few concerns. if I drill new holes and use screws to install the racks it would seem that t-nuts would not be able to slide into the rails without hitting the screw heads. The rivets would be very low profile. Of course my fear is; if I move the existing screws I'm just asking for a leak problem. The rails come with gaskets for each rivet and gaskets that run the length of both sides of the rails. Any recommendations?
