Surf Rack Repair

I've had a Thule rack on most of the vehicles I've owned since I graduated from undergrad (almost 30 years).  This last set I bought for the Ridgeline has been showing signs of the rubber coating on the clamp/foot coming off.  Well - the signs weren't wrong.  The coating just peeled off.



I cleaned them off with the Dremel and sprayed them with black Plasti-Spray.  They look like new - but time will tell if the plasti-coat will stand up to the road.


I started with the backs because they were pretty much shredded.  I'll reinstall these and see how they hold up for a few weeks.
