Re: Mad Monkey's GP - Roof rails? I think YES

Started modding the roof rails today


First thing was cleaned up the bottoms from adhesives etc.

Then i cut the nub off the back end, then filled the hole with JB:

Then i took and drilled 2 small holes in the tip and took some bare copper wire and looped it in there.
(forgot pic)
Then i took and covered that with more JB stick:

Letting it dry nice before i touch it or move on to # 2

What happened to cutting in half and then filling the middle???

Nice work regardless... don't take to long tho, they need to be on by the weekend lol
 
Re: Mad Monkey's GP - Roof rails? I think YES

well i was gonna do that, but when i put the factory edge of the roof rail against my window i saw this:

So i figure i can taper it out more and extend it all at once ;)
 
Re: Mad Monkey's GP - Roof rails? I think YES

Oh, I see. Good call. Nobody ever pointed that out on the 04+ models. Definitely the way you're doing it then.
 
Re: Mad Monkey's GP - Roof rails? I think YES

Re: Mad Monkey's GP - Roof rails? I think YES

Today's update:

Rails are painted, cleared. Let sitting inside overnight help em cure etc. They are ready to go. Just waiting on the bank to process my deposit and then they go on. They will be on by the weekend, if not during the weekend because of time etc. who knows.
The stuff im gonna use to adhere them will be bought at a paint supply store, strong ass stuff, like the structural adhesive stuff, only no special application Gun needed.

Anyways, since we all love pics.. i present PICS:

Re: Mad Monkey's GP - Roof rails? I think YES

Why are you online and not outside installing them??? I know when I got mine I MADE time to be able to install them lol. Did prep-work @ work so I was set to install once I got home.

$40 glue... this glue better be encrusted with some ****ing diamonds and be strong enough to glue Oprah's fat ass to the ceiling.
