Without a doubt. Mine made a year no problem (including but not limited to a million washes, Canadian winter, and numerous drives through rainstorms). I took them off a while back, when my caps got here, but have since put pieces back on for a few reasons.. 1) Tape blends much better, 2) After the sun "baked" the tape to the roof...the only way water was getting in is if the tape was punctured, 3) I wasn't particularly impressed with the way the caps sealed...the fitment definitely wasn't what I was expecting.

The super 88 was only meant to be a "temporary" solution until I had time to get the holes filled and re-shoot the roof....the Proper way to fill them holes!
