The other day, I got the exhaust cam sensor replaced...

Today, I washed the ol'beast, (it has been raining/T storms here every day for weeks), Zaino'd a few areas, and tossed in a new air and cabin filter.

Still running fine at 85,000 miles and nearly 11 years old. 2nd best car I have every owned, in nearly 50 years worth of cars.

What caps did you get to seal the holes? I was thinking about doing mine as well, I never use the rails! And just clear silicone to seal right?

(2) 5/8" & (8) 11/16" caps

Yeah I'm assuming the clear silicone seal should be all I need. Yesterday I worked late and started taking the rails off as soon as I got home, got them off and drove out to Lowes, popped the caps in at the parking lot, by the time I got home it was already raining. They're a pretty good fit so I doubt much if any got in.

what aisle of lowe's did you get them in? The people at Lowe's basically know me by first name because of my house renovations lol
