I did not like all the roof penetrations also, so I removed the luggage rack, which would have torn up the roof fiberglass if I ever hit a branch, sealed up the holes and removed the plastic pipe vents by putting steel protectors over the pipe vents. I bit more aerodynamic too I guess.
I ripped the luggage rack off on a tree branch, so I filled the holes with Marine-Tex and was done. I had problems with the forward vent breaking on branches after removing the luggage rack that offered some protection, so I made an aluminum limb-riser to protect it. I haven't had a problem since.
Good idea and good work too.:)
