    I bought one off an Isuzu Trooper the other day, knowing I could cut the width down, but the problem ended up being in the roof contour. Side rails are ~4' long and flat... HCW roof is not flat.
    This may not help, just saying that a rack that mounts in 4 corners is more apt to fit than one with continuous side rails.

    i picked it up, and the contour is perfect. the width is almoast perfect. i am going to make it work though. it looks so stock! :D

    I know for a fact that the roof rack from a Subaru Loyale (late 80s vintage) will fit perfectly on our wagons 'cause... I've done it.

    I think it looks pretty good.

    Where can I see a decent pic of the OE rack? I spotted one on a '90 RT at the junkyard yesterday and couldn't get the screws out. If it's real I'll go get it.

    those screws are a pain in the ass. Your going to need a impact screwdriver.
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    drilled the screw heads off. Pics in a bit...

    also took one off of a Kia Sportage that fits NICE.

    OK... is this OE or no?

    Here's the one from the Kia Sportage:

    check this out...Kia rack side by side with Isuzu rack. They're identical except for the logo molded in the pushbutton.(and the Kia one is curved to fit a rounder roof)

    the OE looks awesome, i wish my junkyard has crap like that, but, there are only like 5 wagons in this entire region, so..... chances of one in the scrap is next to none :(

    the one frome the summit wagon looks identical to this, but it has another runner thing going from side to side.

    If anyone wants an OEM roof rack with all the screw that are still good. PM me. If it doesn't find a home soon it will in the dump.

    how are these attached to the car?
    is there some sort of bolt and hole on the car?
    or

    are these screwed into the roof by making a new hole?

    I used 1/4-20 thin sheet nut-serts, that's also how all 3 of the ones I got from junkyards were mounted. TIP> use a drill stop of some kind to avoid unsightly holes in your headliner :oops:
  • ThinkFabThinkFab Wagonist
    thats what i did. and yes, make sure you do something to prevent the drill from going to far into the headliner
