Re: Finally installed my Air dam and all under $300
If he did the full kit (just sourced the parts individually as the op implies) I'd say he had to drill the hole in the roof above the driver's head. But lets hear that from the horses mouth...

did u have to drill the hole in the roof? if not id like to hear how you did it. I've been putting off because I don't wanna drill through my roof.
I did a no drill install on my Gobi rack. Running wires thru the A arm pillars and into the cracks just above the windshield. PITA but....
Gobi sent "how to", not sure if it will work for your application but worth a look.

Garrett did make a small hole in the base of the rack. It is completely water tight. reference the pictures so you have a better idea. Also, all the cable connections were made water tight.
Garrett had this spare rubber grommet in his garage. Note the hole we did on the rack.
here is the hole we did in the base of the roof rack.

The above pictures show the way I did mine as well. One addition though. I put a fairly tall rubber grommet in the roof hole so that there would be little to no water intrusion. Idea being that water would have to well up under the rack foot to at least 3/16 inch to get down the hole.

Go one furthur and seal it all with sealant. Ask DominicG.
