Just curious, those that removed your rails... what did you replace them with? Or did you just leave that "valley" open on the roof?

The stock part that was in there is garbage once removed.

This is more of a question outta curiosity..... for whenever the day comes to sell'em.
 


My stock strippings are still in perfect shape in the garage. If I ever need/want to remove them, I can just put them back on.

how did you not bend the **** outta the metal inside? I guess I didn't care to try considering I threw them in the dumpster once they came off.
 
I tried like all hell to get mine off without bending them...didnt happen. So I just left them open...didnt like the look... Used some resin and filler to fill it up, and smoothed it out over about 1months....many many layers. Probably woulda cracked if I kept it for any amount of time

Just went pretty slow, I didnt wanna ruin them just in case I didnt like what the roof rails looked like.
 
fill in the channel for for a smooth roof line look, still don't understand what the purpose of them is in the first place
 
Its just for styling i believe.Ive had mine off for bout 2 years now since one was missing when i bought the car. I havent noticed anything bad.
 
its for aerodynamics, or some ****. Channeling the air over the center of the car helps highspeed handling, so some scientist guy told them to do it.
 


not trying to thread jack here, but i just bought rails and they shipped out today, I have to remove something to make them fit?

any one have pics and a how to?
 


on my car I left the valley open and it looks nice that way... idk might be because it's white but it looks like its ment to be that way
 
I haven't done mine yet but im thinking to pry up the end just a bit and get some strong fishing line to try and pull the fishing line under to remove the filler piece
