 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.
