Subject:Westy luggage rack seal- how to install?
From:Mad and Ed

Greetings from Seattle,

Is it truly possible to install the Bus Depot luggage rack seal without
removing the luggage rack?  I pulled the old seal off and there seems
to a lot of corroded old metal bits stuck under the edge of rack and to
the rack.  It seems like this would interfere with the install off the
new seal if it wasn't completely removed.  I suppose some kind of hook
thingy could be used to scrape the inside edge of the rack.

If I need to remove the rack, any tips on how to get it off?  Anything
I should do while it is off- wire for clearance lights, satelitie
antennas, etc?  ;-)
