Long story short, I read the torque spec for the OEM crossbars wrong
instead of inch pound, I torqued as foot pound, so basically over torqued by 12 times, or less because I couldn't get the click and the bolt just kept on spinning and rounded the HEX
As I have rounded the HEX bolt, the bolts are stuck there tight.
I tested the crossbars, there is no movement whatsoever in any direction. The clamps seat correctly.
Should I just call it good or overtightened bolts can be a problem down the road?
