Roof Weather Stripping -- aftermarket options?

[Gonzo]

I’m getting rid of my Toyota OEM roof rack. Are there any alternatives to the OEM weather stripping once I have it removed?

Great question. When I take this off? What’s best?

I took mine off. I have not seen any good options.

What I did was buy (8) M6x12mm bolts to plug the holes and then used some silicone caulk over them for weather sealant. Then when I sold the rack I traded the trim pieces with the guy I sold it to.

I’ve seen other people just seal the holes with caulk, or use butyl tape. I think any of those would work.

Worst case, Toyota sells them. I was wondering if there were any other options.
