Hopefully not the same ppl that quoted 1"3/8in was 45mm!
I know, the track on my Pathfinder is much more like the RTV profile. But they were $159 too, and I can always router a curve on the top corners to make the RT look like RTV profile, but I probably wont. I have an airbrush and could easily repaint it after routering. Its the type of thing, ... will it ever bother me after the rack tray is installed and you hardly see it?

I 'splurged' and got the 3100lb force larger version in the 'Shogun' brand that Sydney tools sometimes sells, for
$79 shipped.
Had $31 of Supercheap credit but they wanted $195 for the smaller 2300lb version! Geesh, even Total Tools 'Iron Air' branded is only $89 for the smaller 2300lb version!
I looked at a big two handle hand tool, but they were only $25 cheaper and I thought the risk of damaging the roof was higher if more force was being applied. Hopefully the hydraulic/pneumatic will be much easier to control, meaning lower risk of accident / damage.
Sometimes I still consider using rivnuts but I have to justify the air rivet gun purchase now!
