Anyone who have owned or own the thule roof rack experienced leaking during car wash or raining? If so, did you figure out a way to fix it?

I installed this rack this week end and was surprised to find my seats were wet after coming back from the lsu game.

never. take them off and reinstall them.

Already have done so, but still leaks

why does it leak? j/w is it in the weather stripping or something?

I washed the car tonight to see the cause of the leaking and it seems like the weather strip is slightly loose right at the top causing water to leak into the car.

My car is going to the body shop tomorrow for paint so I'll just mention this issue to them and hopefully they will be able to fix it.

Haven't updated this issue yet.
The weather strip inside was the issue. The body shop was able to fix it correctly and have been leak free since.
