Is There Weight Capacity for Thule Top Track Roof Mount System

Question:

Hello, I have a similar track on the cap that is on my truck which I use with a tracker II set. I was lookin to extend a set on to the cab of my truck and was wondering what the load capacity is for this set up. As you can imagine Im a bit hesitant to start drilling holes into the roof of my truck and wanted to hear a bit about load security, uplift, max load, etc.. before I do so. FYI the track on my cap is through bolted but the instructions for this track call for a rivet of some kind. Please let me know.

The Thule Tracks part # THTP42 that you referenced does not have a weight capacity but it was intended to be used with Thule roof rack feet that have a 165 lb weight capacity so that would be a safe figure to go with.
