I have a 2000 CM Legend trailer with a roof mount hay rack.  There are rubber spacers between the aluminum roof and the rack, most are about 1" in diameter.  those on the corners are about 2" in diameter, all about 1/2" thick.  They are getting weathered and splitting and I am getting some leaks in the trailer..  Any idea where I could buy some replacements?

Check with an auto supply for sway bar spacers, or shock absorber top spacers. They are about that size, and would be pretty stout as well. In a pinch I guess you could use a hole saw, and cut some out of an old tire too.

If it were me, I would make them out of an old semi truck mud flap, available at most truck stops free..  its about the right thickness, and you can make the exact size you need, and its free.
They will most likely outlast the life of the trailer. Cut the mud flap with a sharp knife.
