mine was installed by snugtop and is in the non honeycomb section of the shell. I had installed my last tracks on my previous shell in the honeycomb and I was told that i did it wrong.
my rack is ridiculously strong. when i was driving the rubicon my rack hung up on a tree and it bent the yakama bar nearly straight back. there was no damage to the tracks or to the shell. I regularly stand up there and have had 2 people at once on the platform
here you can see how far back the bar bent.
the bar is supposed to extend straight out from the silver U bolt.
I have a 3/4" sheet of plywood that sits on 3 sets of towers and bars. I have never heard the shell cracking or making noise I have put at least 400lbs up there when not moving. I generally don't store anything up there when driving, it affects the center of gravity so much its not worth it. The last shell that i had (where i installed the tracks incorrectly) would crack and make noise when i was on the platform.
