I have a 2018 Granby, when I bought it I didn't think I wanted the yakima tracks.
Fast forward to now.
I am going to install a second solar panel, and would like to install some 8020 channel to use like the yakima track.
I used the Renogy glue on mounts for the first panel and now realize that moving or replacing it will be a lot of effort, I did learn tat Sikaflex 252 is some awesome adhesive/sealer.
My plan is to install rivnuts into the roof framing and seal with butyl tape and ureathane sealant.
my question is would there be any issue with putting the track very close to the edge of the roof? from pictures I recall the outer framing is roughly 1"x3" tubing.
If this isn't a good idea does anyone know the distance from the edge to the factory location of the tracks?
I do not plan on using cross bars to load more stuff on the roof, its high enough it would be a struggle to get anything up there.
