Thought I'd share some pics of the cleaning/restoring process I've done on most of the OEM roof racks I've obtained and sold here over the last 8 months or so. This condition was fairly typical of what I've encountered. Some worse, some better. But it's really expected since they're anywhere from 9-11 yrs old....that's a lot of crud and sun and such!
I know I've sung the praises of Aerospace Protectant 303 on here until you're all probably sick of hearing about it....but these pics really tell the story.
Here's one as received from a 2001. The rubber strips on this one are in a bit better than average condition.
I disassembled all parts:
SURPRISE! This was a first....think it's a hornet or wasp's nest..luckily it was empty.
