That depends on whose luggage rack seal you're installing. Mine can be installed without removing/loosening the luggage rack at all. You can carefully slip it under the lip, using a non-sharp object to push it through. However, other vendors sell poptop seal as a luggage rack seal, so the insulation bulb (intended for the poptop) makes the seal too thick to go on without removing the luggage rack first. If you are using a bulbed seal, be sure to notch it at a couple of points on the sides to allow rainwater to drain into the rain gutter, as otherwise the bulb may trap water between your luggage rack and your roof. - Ron Salmon The Bus Depot, Inc. www.busdepot.com (215) 234-VWVW _____________________________________________ Toll-Free for Orders by PART # : 1-866-BUS-DEPOT
