Finally...A Rack on my roof

[VX KAT]

So I am excited because I finally got a roof rack.
Any issues with the car wash?
Thanks - Mike

I've gone thru the car wash at least 4 times so far (at 2 different ones) and both had a sign up that says the usual..."we're not responsible for roof racks, etc.."....I was a bit nervous the 1st time going through each, but no problems, the machinery just raised up...but I still don't like the idea, seems like those strips of carpet or whatever they are sure could get stuck and yank it off.

May want to avoid the car washes with the drop down blowers at the end. I'm guessing that those guide wheels could hang on a roof rack.

Kat, you sure are magnanomous about sharing that 'great rack' status.

Edit: Glad you found your purple smiley

In the last 2 or 3 months, a few different members here have located & sold them,..... I found and sold 3, "Daver" sold some and "Capt Crunch" has sold a few. Not sure if Capt Crunch ever sold his 2nd one, here's the post from 1/16/10, maybe contact him to see.

I actually got mine off ebay for $149.00 from a place out in California (Hyundai Isuzu Kia Nissan Parts is the store name) I asked about another part I needed and they sold it to me for an extra 15 bucks and sent it in the same package. He said they just wanted to get the info out that they had a salvage Vehicross in their possession, but the other items they have listed in the store seem a bit steep to me. If you need something his name is Jason and the number is 888-944-7898.

thanks - mike
