Hi guys,
I m a happy owner of a GMC VANDURA 1989

The guy who sold me the van say it's a kind of fiberglass with two levels, basically you have  the Outside fiberglass / air (for insulation) / inside fiberglass... So my question is: can I screw the outside side to attach a roof rack for example? I m afraid to break something or make a big crack with the fibration or wathever..

I try to find this answer for a while...





Thank you very much.

I wouldn't.  Every hole in every roof is a leak waiting to happen.

Since you've got rain gutters, I would absolutely go with a gutter mount rack. 

Some people also use 3M VHB tape, but I've never used it, so can't offer advice on it.

Cheers!
