Roof Rack!
I'm just tickled pimk! It took me a couple days, off and
on, to install the rack and it looks great! My window hinge bolts came out with little trouble, only needed the impact wrench on one bolt, and the tail lights are a cinch to remove. I'm really pleased I managed to get the whole thing up there, by myself, with out messing anything up! Oh, and they don't sell just the doohicky off the rear window retaining bar:^( Guess I'll check out junk yards, yay! (I had a Pinto...I luv junk yards... Seahag |
Re: Roof Rack!
Just be aware that the tail lights ground through their bolts and
sometimes putting a spacer under them leaves a rusty part of the bolt on the body metal which can cause strange things to happen when you hit the brakes or signals with the headlights on....

Re: Roof Rack!
Akkk! And there I was all proud of myself! Is there
something I should do to neutralize this? Seems like the lights are now grounded on the tub and the rack!

Re: Roof Rack!
I live in the salt belt so I like antiseize and loctite. Both products
keep corrosion away really well. If they are now working ok, then likely your Jeep was new enough not to have immediate issues. If you get strange lights down the road sometime, just think of those bolts first... ;-) Mike Seahag wrote: > > Akkk! And there I was all proud of myself!
