Is the point to this to have something between the light bracket and the windshield hinge to prevent damage to the paint, or to create a seal so water doesn't get in behind it?
I was thinking of using some strips of foam to make sure the paint doesn't scratch, but should I be worrying about water getting in behind where the foam is? Maybe I'm overthinking it...

The primary purpose that I was looking for was to not mar the paint in an effort to avoid potential rust down the road but you make a good point about water.

I want to put a light bar on the roof, so which windshield bracket will let you put both on or do you just put the bracket over the light bar bracket. Also where do you run the wires on both of those? Pictures of this would help a ton. Thanks
