The plastic washers that come with the rack should keep any water out at least down to 30 feet I also recommend the Brad bit it's perfect for this type drilling.

Comes with rubber washers and a template. Dont use the template. Blue painter's tape and measure many times before drilling. I placed mine close enough to the backrest so that my fingers just fit between. That way you can add the spoiler later if you wish.
I put a small amount of silicone on the threads of the bolts to keep water from tracking down. Works fine.
Tip: I put 1/2" felt adhesive disks on the bolt heads so they don't scratch my helmet when I store it in the TP.
