i want some! ill check around for some or atleast one thats good, i doubt there is any though.

**kjohnson** · 09-18-2010

ya I'm almost 100% sure that they are the same and that i could duplicate them. or at least close enough

**noreasonwhyy** · 09-18-2010

do you mean same from side to side? pretty sure they're mirror images of one another. i needs me some regardless.

exactly

The rails are vertical on the side facing the sunroof & slanted on the opposite side, as well as curved to fit the roof. You will need to duplicate both rails. Good luck.

Or reverse the pattern.

if he get 2 he can make a mold of both then return them to the owner

**NashGT02** · 09-19-2010

If I had an extra set I would lend them to you but I dont even have my own set of Rails

but I definatly wouldnt mind a set.

**noreasonwhyy** · 09-19-2010

i asked a guy around the block if he was willing to take his roof rails off his 02 special edition to sell them. he didn't even ask me what i was willing to pay before he said no.

there's another one around, i'm gonna ask him next time i see him.

i'll be attempting molds as soon as i get myself a pair.

**CTKGP09** · 09-19-2010

ask to borrow them, im sure strangers wont mind

**RALM** · 09-13-2012

so with how long this has been dead i assume you were never able to make a mold?

**TLSheff** · 09-13-2012

I don't think anyone ever bothered to send him their rails to make the molds with.

Otherwise he could be mass producing at a cheap price and make everyone happy and put some money in the bank. lol

apparently GM has a patent on them and sued 3 people for trying to selling their own or something.

**Mad Monkey** · 09-13-2012

Gm sueing? Well there goes my plans to reproduce them (smashes plaster casting of rails) hahah

**JDrach** · 09-13-2012

lol idk, thats what Matt Palm said in chat

**TLSheff** · 09-13-2012

That would be another reason GM is going under, chasing people making copies of parts they discontinued and no long sell. I wouldn't see the problem, not like GM can sell a part that is no long kept in inventory.

**Matt Palm** · 09-13-2012

yeah the guy i bought my rails from works for gm and there has been 3 lawsuits about people just reproducing them not even selling them and gm won all of the suits
