Question:
Wondering if the 402480B roof rack would work on a fiber glass topper. 1997 Dodge Ram 2500, no existing rails or crossbars. And if so, is there a sealant you would recommend? If this roof rack would not work, what would be the best option? Thank you!

Hey Cailey, yes the Rhino Rack roof rack for campers part # Y02-480B that you referenced does fit fiberglass tops like what your truck has. Rhino Rack recommends RTV 5699 sealant when installing this which we have with the part # LT37464.

Hey Cailey, I'm glad to hear that the Rhino Rack roof rack fits your fiberglass topper! How did the installation go with the RTV 5699 sealant? I'm curious to know because it could help others with similar setups.
