missing roof thing?

[So-CalVX]

im curious... this is what my VX looks like rackless



when i bought her she had the rack on with three little vehicross flaps/guards on
am i missing the covers for when the rack is off? and if i am.... are they expensive....
it'd probably be best to just invest in a fairing and run with the rack on huh?
thanx for any answers

there are 4 plastic covers that fill in the space when your rack is off the vehicle, from what I understand they likely are out of production b/c they seem to be a hot item in past threads

thanx bro...
i have three little things that have Vehicross molded on, that snap onto the actual rack over the bolts... anyone know what those are?

I believe they are flaps that cover some of the bolts for the OEM roof rack. They're just there to look nice and cover the bolts. It goes w/o saying there should be 4 of them. The rack should work just fine w/o the flaps but it would be nice to have all 4. Firstly, it gives it more of a completed look but also with them hiding some of the parts it helps just a little to keep the rack yours and not someone else's.

Yes, the little doors cover the retaining bolts for the roof rack when it is on. You should have 4 of them.



The plastic roof rail covers are almost as coveted as the roof rack itself. A few months back, a set of 4 went for an upwards of $500 on eBay, iirc, which is freakin' insane.

Nope. Just the three. Thats a small reason I don't run with my rack on. Does anyone know where I can get another? Could I buy them separately from merlin or are they a set? And forget that price on the covers. I can get a new set of tyres for that. Same with the price of the actual rack... WOW!
