Recommended Roof Rack for a 2012 Ford F-350
Question:
Im interested in getting a roof rack for a 2012 f350 crew cab with sunroof. How do the legs attach to the roof, do you have to drill holes for them, dont want to do that and is the sunroof a problem. Are they something I can do myself. Thank you,

The roof rack options we have listed as a fit for your 2012 Ford F-350 will not require drilling. The roof rack systems use a fit kit which consists of metal clips that attaches the legs to the inner door jambs on your vehicle. The installation of this roof rack system will not interfere with your factory sunroof, however, it is not advised to open the sunroof while the roof rack is installed because it will be noisy and can interfere with items attached to the roof rack. As you can see in the installation video attached to this answer, the process is very straightforward and so easy a caveman can do it.
For a roof rack that is compatible with your vehicle I recommend going with the Thule WingBar Load Bar System part # TH711500, part # TH480R, and part # THKIT1508. The AeroBlade design produces one of the quietest roof racks on the market. The crossbars are made of a lightweight aluminum that is durable and rust resistant which takes up only a fraction of your weight limit.
I have included a few video reviews for you as well.
