Will the roof leak if I remove the luggage rack from a 03 explorer?

I have a 2003 Ford Explorer and I am thinking about removing the useless luggage rack on top. If I take the thing off, will the roof leak? Anyone had experience with this? Thanks!

yes. leave it alone unless you get body work done on it
It might not, try unscrewing a bolt that holds it in and get a light to look into it to see if the hole it screws into is a SEALED chamber or just a hole in your roof. Look to see if the chamber has any type of hole that water could leak through.
