Maybe next time. I wondered about those but worried that pressure was would blast them away... did not know they are a press fit. Plus I would have had to make a trip to the hardware store and was too lazy.

The “luggage rack” tends to fill with sticks and leaves which fill up the five scupper holes in the Fiberglas. When this happens the depression in the rack fills with rainwater which takes a day or so to drain out. Worse, the water and debris slops over the side and down the front windows when I make a turn. > > > > > > > > Every two years or so I remove the Fiberglas and pressure was the debris. I have always meant to install screens over (under, actually) the holes to at least keep the cavity underneath the Fiberglas clean and to make the rack easier to clean of debris with a hose. > > > > > > > > Yesterday I pulled the top and hot glued reinforced window screen over holes on the underside.
