Thread: Roof Rails Defect?

Has anyone ever noticed that one roof rail in a set always looks like the corner on the underside where it glues to the car looks like it has been cut or hacked off.

Posted a pic for an example

Bottom rail is normal and square. The the top rail the bottom edge looks cut


Is this normal or have both sets of rails I have had been hacked up ones?

Mine don't look like that.

Yours are beefed, bro.

I wonder if it's from people taking the rails off with piano wire. The last pair I had sat right. Hopefully these still do too.

I think I had one like that.

Slap some 3m tape on it and call it good, I wouldnt even care.

If it doesn't, just add JB weld.

Not a bad Idea. Thanks!

Whats the best way to put them on so they'll stay but can be taken off without ruinning them? Incase the expiration date on my tranny is closer than anticipated. Haha

3m double sided tape

They're junk. I'll send you my address for proper disposal.

Lol ^

Is there a possiblity they're some sort of aftermarket rails?

They fit on the car with no issues. Just still odd that part is missing

AFAIK, there was never any aftermarket rail ever made.

Since GM cut producing them quite some time ago.
