Put one of these on for my friends today. They have had the vehicle for 6 years, since new. The passenger side, the threaded bolt holes were completely rusted out (Maine, USA). Were able to use a tap to re-establish the bolt holes and were able to complete it. Just a note for home installers, older vehicles like this to have those open holes rusted bad. We will probably have t use a slightly larger self tapping bolt on one of the pass. side holes later. Used for bike and cargo rack will be ok
