Anyone out there using Thule or Yakima for their FlipPac? Wondering if you've run into my problem or have any better solutions than I've come up with.
I installed Thule's artificial rain gutters into the FlipPac lid, along the side, 9 inches from each end according to FRP's recommendations. I tried to to use the 387 High Foot Pack, but the lever on the back of the foot digs into the rubber gasket of the rain gutter. Most roof tops are canted or domed so normally the rain gutter would lean away from the lever of this Thule foot (you'd have to be familiar with the 387 to know what I'm talking about) But the sides of the FlipPac lid are straight up and down, so the sweep of the Thule foot is making installation impossible.
I tried the Thule 953 - Super High Gutter Foot Pack, and that works because it's got such a high and therefor more gradual cant to the design + there is no lever in the back. But damn, it's tall. Looks like a lot of wind would get under there. Long story short has anyone run into this problem and/or what rack system are people using to install on the sides of the Flip Pac lid?
