Check out this thread and watch the video where the coating is pealed off with a plastic credit card: http://www.mybmwi3.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=5378
Drilling may be the most secure way of attaching a roof rack but the sealing of the holes might cause some other issues if not done 100%. Perhaps nutserts could be used to create the mounting points for the rack feet and with a good application of DOW sealant, this could work.
It seems that each rack option has its drawbacks. |
