      These cable glands fit precisely, to the thread, into the circular holes:

      They fit in the oval holes too with a sliced-in-half-lengthwise rubber grommet from this kit:

      This smaller gland size works beautifully as well for the circular hole:

      I sealed with this stuff:

      Here's my install that squeezed 2 16gauge and 2 14gauge wires through the smaller PG9 gland, and 2 10gauge and 4 14gauge wires through the larger.
      

      
      
      

      
      
      

      
      
      

      
      
      I think these are quite un-butt, personally.

      Those are nice. Given that they're vertical, I'd be worried that they'd maybe let water in.
      
      I'm going with a lot more minimalist setup with a removable panel. I'm hoping whatever is up there without the panel will be very low-profile.

      Did you do your wiring before or after your Aluminess rack was installed? I'm wondering how much wiring to do before Aluminess installs our rack. It's probably easier to access the roof before the rack is installed but once the rack is installed it will be easier to figure out where and how to route the wires.
