Roof Rack Questions

[Gaspe]

Debating which roof rack to get for a 2026 OR . If anyone can help with some questions I would appreciate it.
1. Anyone have experience with the new Küat/Diode Dynamics rack? Weight capacity is a bit light , but looks functional.
2. Anyone significant problems with paint erosion where the wind fairings touch the roof if the fairing trim piece is used and the roof has PPF on it?
3. I am perplexed as to why so many racks lack the drop-in points on the t-track like the Prinsu has. Is there a reason for this, and is the lack if them (thinking Sherpa) an impediment to mounting? I miss having them on my Revel’s rack…
4. Lastly, has anyone come across a good mounting bracket for the Diode Dynamics SS Dual-Color 40” bar for Sherpa or Prinsu style racks?

Thanks. Your input in your experiences with your racks would be appreciated.

Thanks for the pics. Kuat is slick. BTW -what light bar is on your Prinsu?

Prinsu checks pretty much all my boxes…….

The light bar is made by Lastfit. It was my 2nd choice but I am happy with it.

Lasfit 12"/22"/32"/42"/52" Off-Road Slim Single Row Combo Flood Spot Beam LED Amber Light Bars

My other lights, trail, rock, ditch, and (ARB) rear bumper are all Rigid same as the fog and grille light bar that Toyota gave us as OEM's. I wanted to keep them all the same but the rigid light bar I wanted was $1400, so I invested in skid plates instead. Each December Rigid has a warehouse sale and most things are almost 50% off so a new roof rack mounted light bar is possible this year.
